Responsible for Agriculture of the Socialist Group, Manuel Soler said it was regrettable that the biggest reason that argues the PP to reject a socialist motion that measures for the control and eradication of the pest affecting the cacti were requested either the Ministry and the CCAA already have a plan of action against certain bacteria.
Soler criticized the lack of information from some members of the People's Party for not differentiate bacteria of an insect.
Cochineal carmine appeared in the Region of Murcia for the year 2006 and since then has been a serious threat to the blades of prickly pears, without the authorities have placed any measures to control and eradicate the spread of this pest.
Manuel Soler explained that the prickly pear or drainers, as it is popularly known, have historically been part of our landscape until the plague of cochineal carmine began eliminating this species, whose scientific name is Opuntia maxima.
This pest is native to South America, was introduced in Europe mainly from northern Mexico and is known in that country under the name of Nopal.
In our country this species is introduced into the Spanish Levante, Andalusia and the Canary Islands.
Socialist MP claimed in his motion a coordinated from the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Environment, with the participation of the autonomous communities, municipalities and private owners in order to get this insect does not continue its expansion and proceed to its eradication Plan .
