Councilman Environment Council of Lorca, Melchor Morales, has reported that the city council will urge the CARM and the Government of Spain to implement measures to mitigate the adverse effects of drought especially in rainfed areas .
In addition, the City Council requests a plan and start replanting the vineyards and almond trees and all strains if you have dried on the plots because of the drought exceeds 25% or partial replanting if the number is less than this percentage, with specific co-financed aid in sufficient amounts.
In the case of 100% replanting aid will be in accordance with the budget approved by the administration cost, which in this case amounts to 5,500 almond per hectare.
Cabrera Morales has also said he will ask the Ministry of Agriculture and Water to amend the text of the 2014-2020 Rural Development Programme for support to organic farming and integrated production sent to Brussels and fits in as far as possible orientations signed petitions and the unanimous claim dated July 15, 2014 for all agricultural organizations and cooperatives in the region.
These agreements are included within the text of a joint motion signed this morning by three political groups with municipal representation in the Consistory Lorca, to be elevated to the Board of Governors on Friday, and the next town meeting.
What good is the word Mr. Soler by signing an agreement and not enough time to run out and criticize?
Morales has described very inconsistent Manuel Soler agreed upon a motion with the 3 local groups to come out at 2 minutes criticizing what he signed.
It is a particularly irresponsible, because we all remember that he is the main culprit in the Lorca irrigators have no water desalination à Eagles, Or is it that you have forgotten that he promised to pay all irrigators the costs of bringing the water to Lorca?
We are talking about more than 30 million the first year alone, condemning to ruin Lorca irrigators, because they could not afford it.
By the way, has been the mayor of Lorca, Francisco Jodar, who has made the Government of Spain financed the construction of pipelines to bring water.
The Mayor has been achieved through hard work and intense negotiations, resolve the serious problem that this gentleman had created irrigators.
Regarding the request for a Royal Decree, Mr. Soler has been informed that today is not the objective circumstances for writing (eg water inputs from the transfer, that are coming through the Memorandum) are given.
Something that at the meeting at City Hall said understand.
The City Council therefore not definitively rule out such a move, although it has been considered better not to exhaust this last option for now.
