To the conflicts in Campillo, Tercia or La Hoya are added those of La Escarihuela, Pozo Higuera and La Escucha, where it intends to build a farm in the endoreic zone of the ravine of Nogalte that could contribute to a human, environmental and economic disaster in case Of avenues
The Stop 'cebaderos next to the houses' platform has resumed its activities of protest after the City Council has taken several months without summoning the special commission for the conciliation of the residential and cattle uses of the soil in the orchard of Lorca.
This commission failed in its attempt to approve an ordinance that established in 15 meters (at the moment they are 5) the distance between houses and pig farms.
The strong opposition of Izquierda Unida-Verdes, who advocates proper land management and its uses, as well as the rights of the neighbors to health and an adequate environment, motivated that there was no consensus and that the ordinance was removed from the agenda Of the Municipal Plenary last January.
Since then, the government team of the PP has not returned to give signs of life despite the fact that the problem not only remains in force but affects a wider number of citizens.
Antonio García Montero, affected, has denounced the "despair" of the neighbors of the village of La Escarihuela, and of the rural centers of La Campana (Pozo Higuera) and La Piscina (La Escucha) for licenses recently granted by the town hall Two pig farms one of 2,000 heads and one of expansion for 7,198 a few meters from their houses.
García Montero explained that one of the licenses has been granted despite the fact that the facilities will be built in the endorreic area of ​​the ravine of Nogalte, one of the most dangerous in the Region of Murcia, which he described as "terrible lack of responsibility "By the City.
This construction will block the channel of this rambla, already obstructed by 70 hectares of greenhouses, in its exit towards Cuevas de Almanzora and Pulpí by the one of Canalejas.
"There is no room for water to drain," Garcia said, warning of the "environmental, human and economic disaster" that will occur in the event of floods.
"Despite our warnings, those responsible for granting the municipal license have done so without even visiting the area and doing on-the-spot checks," he complained, adding that "the safety and welfare of people can not be Above the corporate interest ".
"In the Town Hall we have been told that everything is legal and that the promoter of the farmer has signed a paper for which he is responsible for damages and damages that can cause this work," said the neighbor who called it "scandalous" Municipal government team to act on a promenade and also "wash your hands".
Therefore, those affected demand the stoppage of the construction works of this pig farm.
Meanwhile, the spokeswoman for the platform, Stop Cebaderos next to the houses, Concepción Bravo, announced that those affected will expose their problems to the Ombudsman, the High Commissioner of the Cortes Generals in charge of defending fundamental rights and The public freedoms of citizens by monitoring the activity of public administrations.
They will also bring the facts to the attention of the Environmental Attorney's Office because they understand that the City Council is attacking rights protected by the Spanish Constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights.
"There are already sentences in Europe that have resolved in favor of the citizens for the inconvenience caused by facilities that prevent a normal family and private life," he recalled.
Bravo said that the City Council does not offer any response and that "he does not even have the courtesy" to answer his meeting requests.
"It is an unsustainable situation before which we are forced to seek the protection of the constitutional bodies," said Bravo, who hoped to have the assistance of the Ombudsman and the Environment Prosecutor "because we have lost all hope that the Municipal government meets the demands of its representatives in an irresponsible, cowardly and unprecedented attitude ".
Therefore, those affected have decided to "stand" today in the anteroom of the Mayor and stay there until being received by the mayor of the city, Francisco Jódar.
To do this, they have stocked up supplies through portable coolers and will use beach chairs "just in case the wait is too long," said the platform spokeswoman.
They will be accompanied by the Councilor of United Left-Greens, Gloria Martín, who once again showed the support of his formation to this group.
Martin lamented the obstacles that from the municipal government of the PP is putting to those affected to be able to defend their interests.
"They are not allowed to access the urban projects that directly harm them," explained the mayor of IU-Greens.
"From our municipal group we have requested a copy of them, but the mayor has replied that we can only consult the files without reproducing them by any means and are obliged to keep absolute reservation on their content," said Martin.
For the councilor of IU-Greens, it is "infamous" that the PP prevents the right to obtain a copy of these files, a "political and bureaucratic resistance" that makes suspicion that negligence could be committed "before which our political training will not Remain silent because what is at stake is the health and well-being of our neighbors.
