The PSOE councilor in the city of Lorca, Antonio Navarro recalled the "concern" that Lorca Socialists have always shown in relation to the "inexplicable modification" of the pipeline project must serve from the raft to the Cerro Colorado Hinojar subsequently modified to Totana.
The socialist mayor has insisted that the concern of the PSOE in Lorca has always resided in the available economic game "was and is manifestly inadequate".
Navarro stresses that the initial draft of the Community Irrigation Lorca was to install a pipeline would run from the raft to the Hinojar Cerro Colorado, and the construction of six rafts of regulation and pressure, strategically placed with three points lift which would guarantee the supply to the consolidated total irrigated hectares consisting de11.253.
However, Navarro explains "the final project was to extend the pipe around six kilometers in the town of Totana, which is not budget for these essential building rafts of regulation and pressure, leaving 70% of irrigation consolidated along which the pipe no service ", and where unfortunately, the paradox that many homeowners are given" come spend the pipeline through their land and can not due to lack of water pressure. "
Navarro has emphasized that "while the PP argued that there was nothing to fear, and ensured that irrigation was guaranteed by commitments from the Minister of Agriculture, from the PSOE defended that without doubt these commitments, we consider advisable they were building the pipe sections while the rafts. "
Thus, explains Navarro "from logic and common sense, and safeguarding the interests of 100% of the farmers, each tranche is to be built would be staying with irrigation service to that area," as has happened in previous phases, in which service to La Campana, Escarihuela and Puerto Lumbreras was given.
"Unfortunately, Navarro -considers now, five months later, the alarms are triggered and you begin to see that, unfortunately, we were right, and the scandals that have shaken the company now ACUAMED, a company that was to build these rafts, may be the perfect excuse for the PP out on a tangent, and let 70% of consolidated self-watering irrigation indefinitely ".
Finally, Navarro has again insisted that the proposed transfer of water from the Colorao hill to Lorca irrigation "has cost much effort, so that now, because of the PP, 70% of Lorca irrigation is left without power to water".
Among other figures, Navarro highlights how was his partner Manuel Soler, being President of the Community of Irrigators, who managed to legalize these 11,253 hectares to be cultivated.
Therefore, Navarro requires measures to ensure the completion of this project "that can not go without these necessary building rafts and propulsion control".
Thus, since the Socialists claim the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Environment to transfer the execution of the installation work of the rafts ACUAMED the Segura basin, to ensure the construction of these facilities, and remove them from the alleged corruption cases that hover over this public company. "
Case ACUAMED scandal a secret
Navarro recalled how in 2013, the Socialist Municipal Group, through the regional former deputy and spokesman Manuel Soler, denounced the "inconsistency" of the ACUAMED Company, as Minister Mr. Arias Canete, which "coincidentally today and is beginning to be noted in the case ACUAMED "contratase pipe being installed in the field lorquino a Victoria company called ST TUBE GROUP SA.," having here in Lorca, a company that did the same tubes, with the added extra cost a transfer from Vitoria here that could reach € 200,000. "
At that time, Navarro insists "no one said anything, and the reporting of our partner was sterile."
Also, unfortunately, "now it seems that the extra cost was not only transport but also those tubes were more expensive."
In any case, it emphasizes the socialist mayor "this issue is in the hands of justice, and there are responsible and determine responsibilities".
