The Municipal Group MC Cartagena, through its spokesman, José López, has transferred the rejection of its formation to the statements of the Minister for the Ecological Transition, Teresa Ribera, who seems to have prepared the way to end the Tajo-Transfer Safe.
The socialist said that "something extraordinary, such as transfers, can not become ordinary."
A declaration of intentions that MC wants to condemn taking to the next full municipal one a proposal of reprobation to Ribera after his irresponsible words.
The demonstrations of Ribera fit with the will of the Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, to affirm during the months prior to his assault on the Presidency, that "our goal is to end the transfers and bet on the desalination."
An affirmation that, in addition, has worked hard to repeat through social networks.
"The conjunction of both intentions has put the farmers on guard, since they seem to prepare the ground to end with the Tajo-Segura Transfer", López explained.
The spokesman of MC has reported that "it is a new attack on the sector, we remain on the same path: the defense of transfers, the promotion of solidarity and the optimization of resources."
Therefore, "we reject the statements of the current minister, to which we remind that, currently, in Spain there are sixteen transfers that supply almost 200 municipalities."
He has continued to remember that "the most important of these is the Tajo-Segura aqueduct, which carries water to three million people in the Levant of Spain, ending it would be a major setback for our agriculture and guarantee zero options for future development."
The Cartagena leader has deepened the content of the motion that, in addition to rejecting the statements of the minister, seek to highlight "unconditional support for the Tajo-Segura Transfer, as a source and engine of development of the Comarca and the municipality of Cartagena, time to endorse the express fulfillment and content of the Levantine Manifesto for Water, approved months ago in plenary session by our City Council ".
"In a few days we will see if the other groups with representation in the City Council agree, supporting the minister or simply by omission, this disturbing political will to put the agricultural sector and the general interest of the country against the ropes, with the paradox that Cartagena can be sent crude to other parts of Spain through an oil pipeline, while denying us the arrival of water through our aqueduct, "concluded the mayor.
