Surrounded by several neighbors of the Way of the Cross, in the deputation of Campillo, Councilman IU-V, Pedro Sosa, is personaba that place this morning in Lorca field to assist and support the nearest neighborhood group to an existing pig farm in the area that collects, along with dozens of homes, mountains of manure, slurry ponds, and even the bodies of pigs in unsealed containers.

Pedro Sosa recalled that the closure of treatment plants and cogeneration of electric energy through manure sitas Hinojar and El Barranco Hondo, has meant not only throw away millions of euros invested public and lay off several hundred workers without the PP governs in the three administrations (local, regional and state) has lifted a finger, but also involve a "return to the past", a return to the "people of Marraneras" I went for years.

The mayor of IU-V argues that with plants, with the farmer trying to map of Lorca distribute land use, and environmental legislation that protects soil, groundwater and air quality, these issues had to be overcome for years.

According to Sosa, the city of Lorca has not responded to the neighbors who are now protesting, he has not closed the existing slurry pond in the area, nor has it responded to all the questions that neighbors denounced in his allegations.

Therefore, the City Council or is not implementing environmental legislation, or, if you are applying this legislation does not fix the problems at all.

What is clear is that in the Way of the Cross, today, reconciles two uses are all designated as incompatible standards, which are the residential and livestock.

Worst of all, says Sosa, the problem is far from being punctual and located there, with the closure of plants is spreading more field sites and the districts of Lorca.

Councilman IU-V also said that Lorca, with its National Fair as consolidated pigs, and historical importance it has had for pig farming economy, should not return to the past.

In this regard he said that our City must get down to work properly arrange land use, not allowing the slurry to contaminate the air, soil and subsoil, and investigate and find solutions immediately alternatives for treatment livestock waste from other municipalities and regions more concerned about its citizens, and more efficient in its management, are implemented with good results.
