The secretary general of the PSOE in Lorca, Diego Ferrer, has shown today, "worried" because the secretary general "of a game as important as the PP in Lorca" - an allusion to Ángel García Aragón-speak "in complete ignorance of the facts" of an issue as important as water.
García Aragón, yesterday accused the Government of Spain for delaying the start of operation of the desalination Eagles-Guadalentín.
Given these statements, Ferra has been asked to look for explanations "at home" because the Eagles PP Mayor, Juan Ramírez, "it takes months to boycott the project" because he was not interested in being put in place before elections municipal 2011.
Ferra has ensured that the state company Acuamed, which builds desalination, "it takes more than a year and a half negotiating with the City of Eagles how to discharge the brine into the sea via the promenade."
Ferra as the fact that these negotiations have not succeeded is that Ramirez "is putting obstacles in the way for this important work may not be ready before the city" and reiterated that "directly responsible" for delays in the entry into operation of the desalination plant is the City of Eagles. "
For this reason he has asked the mayor of Lorca, Francisco Jodar, also from the PP, as leader of the mayors of the region of Guadalentín that "is sensitive and appropriate to establish dialogue with the mayor of Eagles to facilitate the issue of discharge" .
Interests of the irrigators
Ferra recalled that the desalination plant will produce 60 Eagles-Guadalentín hectometres of water per year and ensured that the works are almost completed in the absence of solving the problem of waste brine.
He recalled that 25 agricultural societies operating in the area of irrigation consolidated signed Lorca "at will" agreement by which they agree to consume 15 of the 25 hm3 coming to Lorca.
He said that these irrigators have no water supply Tajo-Segura and obtain resources "poor quality" of an aquifer "absolutely on exploited and very salty."
Ferra Garcia Aragon said he lied when he claimed that the irrigators do not use water desalination plant because it will very expensive "as they are now paying up more than 40 cents per m3, more than it will cost desalinated water will also quality "best."
Moreover, Ferra PP accused of making "cheap political and showcase" the theme of water and exposed their contradictions when "on the one hand require more transfers and other say on water desalination plants."
The secretary general of the PSOE in Lorca said his party in Lorca and Region understands desalination as a "complement", which does not give up the transfers and that is "death" to the defense of the Tajo-Segura aqueduct, while the PP shows a weak "scary" in this issue.
About the criticism of the PP to the socialist candidate for mayor, Manuel Soler, Ferra said the popular "attack him to distract the attention of the citizens about the disastrous management of the Mayor, Francisco Jodar."
The thread said that "much has to take the PP to be even half the height of Soler in their capacity to demand and defend the interests of farmers Lorca."
He also assured that the criticisms of the popular are "surreal" because only a few weeks ago Manuel Soler, chairman of the Community Irrigation Lorca, won the unanimous support of these in management in 2009 and budgets for 2010 presented assembly.
