"In the seventies of last century Lorca arrived in the Tagus river through a pipeline connecting the river Segura basin.
Until then, our town had survived with few and water resources that went beyond the contributions of Taibilla to supply the population, which retained low flows at the dam of the rivers from bridges and Luchena Vélez and a hidden water pockets our basement that over the years have come to be learned with more difficulty and less quality.
Transfer that filled a long-standing demand of our land that had already claimed decades earlier generations of Lorca and Murcia.
The Tajo-Segura aqueduct resulted in his day a turning point in the development of Lorca, in our region and the southeast Spanish.
Supportive infrastructure that contributed to our land a resource without which it would have been impossible to develop.
Not coincidentally, his arrival meant the desired return of thousands of families who years ago had to abandon their land for a living abroad.
With this resource multiplied agricultural enterprises of Lorca who for years have been mainstays of our economy and have direct and indirect employment to thousands.
No region of Spain has been able to get more economic and social returns to water as ours, no, it has also put so much effort to design and develop technology that provide an economically efficient and also the environmental to the resource.
Today, with several decades of development behind us linked to the shift that led our market fresh produce half the world, with an infrastructure that is already amortized in all aspects, and the economy throughout the southeast of Spain that is absolutely dependent on the flow of the Tagus, the Castilian-Manchego neighboring community is determined to cut off this resource and for some time been taking the legislative steps towards this goal.
The wording of the reform of the Statute of Autonomy of Castilla-La Mancha, now pending before the National Parliament, following its initial approval in the courts of the neighboring community, is without any doubt, the bill more unsupportive has been known in the parliamentary history of Spanish democracy.
This is also a legislative initiative which aims to adopt a clear violation of the Spanish Constitution, which reside in the State, the only guarantor of the principle of territorial solidarity, the responsibilities for water planning in the whole of Spain.
Faced with this absurd claim, unsupportive and unconstitutional, the democratic representatives of Lorca call on our people, to all our citizens, workers and entrepreneurs, traders, teachers and students, men and women of Lorca ... to attend, along with tens of thousands of Murcia, the demonstration will start on Wednesday March 18 at 5:30 pm from the Plaza Circular of Murcia.
The purpose of this mobilization of citizens is clear: to defend the continuity of the Tajo-Segura, opposing any attempt to be directed at reducing the flow established by law and even more so when they expire.
This message will go directly aimed at the 350 deputies who are now in hand to give negative feedback to the draft statutory reform approved by Parliament of Castilla-La Mancha, until they are removed from the preamble and its articles all such references. "
