On January 27 of this year the municipal group Citizens requested a copy of the actions carried out by the unit of Seprona Lorca on the existence of asbestos waste in different areas of the municipality.
On 9 February, consultation and examination of these documents were authorized, without the possibility of having a copy of them.
Antonio Mecca: "The copy of the report has finally been sent to us late Wednesday and we already know the content of the investigation of our complaint, which has been made Seprona Civil Guard."
This report concludes that "material containing asbestos (corrugated boards) mixed with cement has not been removed from the site. This area is unpaved and joins a nursery and very close to a school and houses."
All this in the spot of the Quinta.
These facts were denounced on September 29, 2016 by Antonio Meca in the City Council, the Seprona and the Ministry of Environment before the passivity of the Government Team.
The municipal spokesperson of Citizens submitted a complaint to the Office of the Environment on 14 November.
"The Public Prosecutor's Office has opened investigations and incorporates the Seprona report.There is no record of compliance with the Law on the treatment of asbestos waste and contaminated soil in any of the demolitions carried out after the earthquakes of 2011 ", Explains the councilman.
Recall that the Municipal Government Team rejected a Citizens' motion in the plenary of October last year, where they were asked to take responsibility for this problem that can affect the health of citizens of Lorca.
The motion was rejected by the Popular Group because it considered that it was not within its competence.
Asbestos is considered a chemical carcinogen category (Royal Decree 363/1995 of 10 March)
