Water Councilman City of Lorca, Melchor Morales, has described as "unfair and deceptive" the flow of water transferred from the Tajo last weekend.
Morales has said that the "Lorca farmers, their farms are endangered as a result of the turmoil that exists in the Zapatero government.
If it was little punishment for irrigation desembalsando that proposed by the Commission for holding the Tajo-Segura hm3 was only 36 when they could have reached 135, the Council of Ministers, with 15 days late, halved the proposal desembalsando decreasing to 18 hm 3.
From City of Lorca believe this is a ridiculous amount that seriously endangers our farmers, as we are at the beginning of horticultural campaign in the valley of Guadalentín.
These 18 hm3 are to be made to agriculture insecurity, uncertainty, and the omen of a bad start to the season, so hopefully reconsider this decision, and increase desembalsando "
Morales stated that the City Council "conducted a public offering to join in the initiatives, both from the Central Union of Irrigation and Irrigation Community Lorca should be completed in protest against these decisions of the executive socialist.
At the same time demand that the PSOE lorquino to condemn the attitude of the Government of the Nation, repeatedly, punish the farmers in our land. "
Water Councillor has highlighted the contradictions in water of the PSOE, recalling that "Barreda, from Castilla La Mancha, threatened to turn this desembalsando and continues to his guns to put an end to the Tajo-Segura in 2015.
Montilla, meanwhile assumed that Aznar in Catalonia, the Ebro designed, laid the first stones and hired the works and they have been commissioned to repeal all the work done what brave!
To make matters worse, Leire Pajin Murcia came on Saturday to pull our hair, talking about transfers.
Lorca Farmers would like to know what you intend the PSOE all this and where to go. "
Morales has indicated that the Socialists Lorca are "leaders of contradiction, especially Diego Ferra, recently promoted to Secretary of the area of water in the socialist executive Murcia.
Lorca farmers know that this man merits endorse him as going to claim the Ebro the PP government to defend the opposite since Zapatero came to rule.
That showed the way in politics: the important thing is to have pleased the boss, so do not moving the chair.
But not content with that, but claims to defend the interests of farmers and ranchers Lorca, but to vote against the motions presented in plenary sessions for farmers and ranchers do not have to pay more for water, diesel and fees Power, among others. "
"We, the City Council going to continue defending the interests of farmers and ranchers and other citizens to show our support in these difficult times for the primary sector to the just claims which are demanding such as sending water from the Tajo surplus, according to the law, the recovery of the Ebro transfer, which do not apply under the tariff increases for electricity and potable water and is carried out a control in the regulation of market prices which are well below production costs since the City Council we are committed to reducing the tax burden that they are under our farmers and ranchers by the government of the nation and show our full support to these claims and as we have been doing will continue suing the National Government to carry out the proposed measures, although the PSOE lorquino continue voting against.
