Navarro claims the implementation of the desalination one hundred percent and demands the cheapening of the desalinated water price that as proposed by the Socialists for years, goes through the construction of photovoltaic plants next to the desalination plants with which to reduce the Cost of energy production and reduce the price of water by around 40%, according to their studies

The councilor of the PSOE in the City of Lorca, Antonio Navarro wanted to ratify and transmit the "unshakeable support" of the Lorca socialists to the Community of Lorca Irrigators in their request to the Hydrographic Confederation of Segura for the concession of water from the Desalination of Eagles.

Navarro has taken advantage to denounce the lack of sensitivity towards the irrigators Lorca, which this week has shown the Minister of Agriculture and the Government of Rajoy.

The Socialist mayor says that Rajoy and his minister "are laughing at the Lorca irrigators".

In the same week that Mrs. Tejerina has had the nerve to depreciate the drought that our lands and their farmers are suffering, assuring that in the Duero basin they are even worse than here, in case something was missing, and at the worst moment , The minister is now surprised to want to punish the irrigators of the Tajo-Segura transfer, forcing them to pay a part of the water even if they do not receive it. "

Navarro reproaches the Minister of Agriculture who dares to ask the irrigators to pay a fee "nothing more and nothing less than 12 million euros, or what is the same, a million a year, for 410 h3 a year of water that does not Have consumed. "

The PSOE of Lorca says "no" to pay this fee, and denounces the bad treatment of a party, the PP, who says to have shielded the transfer when what they have done has been shielded but so that no more water comes back to Murcia , Since they increased the reserves to authorize transfers of 240 h3a400 h3.

"That same party adds - not satisfied with getting water to Murcia, now wants to charge 12 million euros to farmers for not bringing water transferred."

Navarro says that "the contempt and ignorance of Mrs. Tejerina towards the irrigators of Lorca can not go unpunished."

For this reason, the Socialist mayor has not hesitated to demand the immediate resignation of the Minister of Agriculture and calls for the joining of this petition to the Minister of Agriculture, Francisco Jódar, and the regional president, Lopez Miras.

The mayor of the PSOE warns that the PP can not give lessons of water since it has not brought even a single drop to this Region.

Therefore, it encourages them to join the proposals that the Socialists raise to get the water that this land needs to come and do it with a price that allows our agriculture to be competitive.

Navarro has announced that the PSOE is already working on a motion to demand water solutions.

The mayor calls for the implementation of the desalination plant Aguilas "one hundred percent" of its capacity and again take advantage to require that the regulation and pressure rafts to store the water, and that the desalination plant works 24 hours a day When necessary.

In addition, he claims that the price of desalinated water, which he insists, will be lowered by the installation of photovoltaic plants with which to reduce the cost of production which, based on his studies, would be reduced by around 40%.

Navarro regrets that, as the PP did at the time with the idea of ​​building desalination plants that in the end are the only solution for irrigators, the people also now refuse to make this measure "viable and sustainable."

The latest example of this opposition was staged by the current Mayor of Lorca voting against in the Senate to an amendment to the PGE with which the PSOE requested 15 million euros needed for the construction of these photovoltaic plants along with the desalination of Eagles.

Among other demands, from the PSOE claim that the "assignment of rights" between watersheds with deficit surpluses and watersheds is authorized, so that a commercial transaction can be carried out in which some people pay for the water they need surplus.
