IU Region (IURM) will file a complaint with the Committee on Petitions of the European Parliament to protest the "saturation" of toxic industries in the Valley of tailings (Cartagena), which "violates the right of citizens to enjoy a suitable environment. "
This was announced today responsible IURM Environment, Victoria Rodriguez, who was speaking after meeting the general direction of Environmental Quality this month plans to authorize the implementation of Befesa incinerator in the Valley of tailings.
Rodriguez noted that the installation of the incinerator, which will treat up to 36,000 tons of liquid and solid hazardous waste, will impact on the quality of life for area residents and the municipality of Cartagena.
"The Valley of tailings" added "is the most irresponsible example of the PP in the region, with a concentration of noxious and dangerous business without any planning, without a real evacuation plan for either workers or neighbors of nearby villages. "
He has also criticized the words of general director of Environmental Planning, Francisco José Mirror, which claimed that the emissions from the incinerator "are no different from those produced by incineration in a morgue", a comparison that Rodriguez has dismissed "unfortunate and distasteful."
