Pedro Sosa, councilor spokesman for Izquierda Unida Verdes in the municipality of Lorca, has denounced this morning the situation of helplessness in which are in Purias about 40 affected by the expropriation of land for the installation of the pipeline from the desalination plant of Águilas , that today after two years of the completion of the works and four since the initiation of the expropriation, they still do not receive the indemnities and water promised to the 2,200 irrigators of the 7,700 hectares of cultivation in the area.

Sosa is very concerned about this issue, because he fears, knowing the slowness with which the regional administration works, that the time goes by and administrative prescription can be given.

For this reason, your group will take a parliamentary initiative through its deputy Ricardo Sixto, to ask for explanations about this delay.

Sosa has qualified this project that had a budget of € 20 million financed by the State of "corruption pipeline", recalling that the contractor Nicolas Steegmann inflated the costs by € 200,000, which is why they were never opened, "because there was a lot to be silent and little to celebrate. "

Another irregularity denounced by the mayor, is why the two reservoirs contemplated in the project were not built to give pressure to the water, despite the fact that the Minister of Agriculture at that time, Adela Martínez Cachá, undertook to seek the necessary funding, and yet if the pipeline was taken to Totana, specifically to the lands of the current president of the Community of Irrigators of Lorca, Juan Marín, when only his arrival to Lorca was planned.

Therefore, Sosa asks the president of the CHS, Miguel Ángel Ródenas, why the works that initially contemplated the project have not been executed, nor have they given water to the irrigators of Lorca, passing the pipeline through their lands, nor they have been paid a harsh amount of the compensation they are owed.

The current Minister of Agriculture and former Mayor of Lorca, for his disloyalty to his fellow citizens, to the Councilor for Water, Angel Mecca, who is still silent and hidden in a corner and the former Councilor, Adela Martínez Cachá, should never be asked. it was learned of the supposed search for funding to finish the project in its entirety.
