This morning, the deputy spokesman of the MC Municipal Group, Francisco Calderón, reacted to the statements made yesterday by the Minister of Agriculture, Isabel García Tejerina, in which the head of the branch denied the water needs suffered by irrigators in the Region.

In the face of this situation, Calderón regretted that "the lack of irrigation that the fields of the Region of Cartagena suffer are not the only one. Moreover, it seems that this lack of irrigation has also come to the forefront of some politicians, "With his remarks he has given a hard blow to those who are hoping for urgent solutions to ensure the success of the next campaign."

The mayor has deepened in the matter remembering the motion presented by the cartagenerista formation last April, approved later by the municipal plenary, in order to request the maximum speed to the state and regional governments so that, in the exercise of their faculties , Make use of their power to issue decrees in emergency situations for study, development, drafting and authorization of projects, infrastructures and measures to avoid discharges to the Mar Menor.

That text requested something that Calderón has taken to inform the minister, and is that the Hydrographic Confederation of Segura should authorize, as an inescapable measure, "the adequacy, recovery and opening of salmueroductos, to treat the rejection of the desalabradoras and its denitrification in Specific purification stations for this, which would contribute to minimize the nitrates existing in the aquifer and alleviate its entrance to the Mar Menor, in a superficial and subterranean way.

Political responsibility

Francisco Calderón has urged the minister to cease "delirious statements like yesterday that are indignant to a sector that expects the reaction of its rulers. To say that in this region there is no need for water is a joke in bad taste."

"But it does not please us, not to us, or to the hundreds of families that depend on it. I invite the minister to come here and check the ground of her words."

Therefore, it has concluded requesting "speed" in the assumption of responsibilities.

"In their hand it is to ensure that farmers can prepare their lands for the preparation of the next season." They must comply, there are no excuses, for example, allowing the use of droughts, "said MC's deputy spokesman.

In short, "farmers do not ask for anything other than the authorization to exploit their own resources and to plan future campaign plantations, so that we will end up with the uncertainty they are about to suffer."
