Fulgencio Gil: "I share the concern that our farmers suffer today, and I am with them without fissures, because each one of them managed to get this city up after the very serious effects of earthquakes and floods."
The Mayor of Lorca, Fulgencio Gil, has informed, together with the President of the Community of Irrigators, Juan Marín, that this Mayor and his government team will be present in Madrid, ratifying our unwavering commitment to the sector.
The response of the City of Lorca is very clear: we close ranks with our farmers and irrigators.
In this land we live from this, it is the main productive sector, there is no doubt that we will be with them where necessary and until the end.
The First Edil has affirmed that I share the concern that our farmers suffer today, and I am with them without fissures, because each of them has made it possible, besides keeping the pantry of Europe, that this city has been able to rise after the very serious effects of earthquakes and floods.
My shoulder is next to yours.
What is clear, as the President of the Irrigation Community has said is that there is a wet Spain and a dry one, and we need water, we need all the available resources.
Lorca needs transfers, desalination, Public Water Bank and transfers between basins, we need to maintain all possible alternatives because we lack water and we are not going to allow Europe's pantry to dry out.
The Mayor has stressed that in other areas of Spain have suffered a specific drought a few months ago, but here the water scarcity is structural.
The use that our irrigators know how to make is a global example;
Nowhere is every drop of water profitable like in Lorca and its region.
We have been able to raise our main productive, labor and economic sector with a lot of work and tear off the best international foods from the earth.
It is time to put an end to a historical problem for Spain, it is the moment of agreements and the height of view on the part of all the political leaders.
You can not miss a second more fueled controversy or wasting time.
Especially the two major parties are facing a unique opportunity to set an example and offer citizens the solutions they demand, in this particular case with the agri-food sector.
Fulgencio Gil has called on all parties to reach an agreement because with a pact that includes at least the two major parties, this can be solved.
All the governments that have had this country have tried to handle this issue, but it is not the time to talk about the past, but present solutions that ensure a viable future for the Lorca field.
We are going to claim in Madrid what belongs to us, because the water that is in Spain belongs to all Spaniards, it constitutes a national good that can not depend on territorial struggles or exacerbated localisms, if not on the common good.
It is a principle of solidarity that can not be stopped by any type of interests.
Lorca have the same access to that resource as anyone.
Meetings of the Personnel Board and Municipal Spokespeople.
The First Edil has anticipated that this morning a meeting of the Personnel Boards and Spokespeople will be convened to propose that next March 7, coinciding with the demonstration that is being held in Madrid, a strike be established, making it possible for the municipal workers of the Consistory to be able to attend the aforementioned event.
These meetings will be held, predictably, throughout tomorrow Friday.
