- The works of the two storm tanks promised in Los Nietos have not been started, nor have the collectors and the protection belt been made to prevent the dragging
- The CHS has not cleaned the ramblas of the area and since 2013 suggests in writing that the neighbors themselves should assume and pay for the works, a document that Cs qualifies as "a scandal" and a "shame" and for the which will ask for explanations in the Regional Assembly
Seven years after the floods in Los Nietos and Mar de Cristal, among other riverside towns, and two years after the then Minister of Water and Environment, Adela Martínez Cachá, announced the start of the necessary works to prevent heavy flooding that caused numerous material damages in the coastal urbanizations, "nothing has been done", laments the spokesman of Cs Cartagena, Manuel Padín, who has informed that "it is about two tanks of storms and the route of vials to implant the necessary collectors for the collection of rainwater and that have not finished the works of the Mar de Cristal deposit ".
"We are going through the time of the cold drop without the promised works, and it seems that until a personal misfortune occurs, the Community will not safeguard the safety of our neighbors," complains Manuel Padín, who has relocated his Group in the Regional Assembly this issue to put pressure on the current Environment Minister, Javier Celdrán.
The Citizens Group has returned to be interested in this issue today and has contacted the president of the Association of Neighbors of Los Nietos, Angel Lozano, who has confirmed these extremes to which has added the breach of the Ministry for the creation of rafts in the outskirts to create a protection belt that would prevent dragging.
Lozano has also reported that of the two promised storm tanks, there is only one project and no start date (which will be located on a plot attached to the yacht club), and every time it rains the ravine overflows and isolates the FEVE station.
The local representative has also regretted the state of the ramblas and has criticized the Confederación Hidrográfica del Segura that has not yet carried out, for years, the maintenance work in channels such as La Carrasquilla.
Lozano has denounced that the CHS has been suggesting to them since 2013 in writing that it does not have enough economic resources and that it is the neighbors themselves who assume and pay for the cleaning works.
"It is a shame and a scandal this letter of the CHS, and we are going to inform our Parliamentary Group in the Assembly and in Congress these facts so that responsibilities are purged," says Manuel Padín who does not understand "how is it possible that this state agency transfers its obligation to the neighbors, it is something far-fetched and exasperating. "
The orange spokesman recalled that "it was in October 2015 when the Federation of Neighbors, the Ombudsman and the City of Cartagena requested in unison urgent meetings with the Departments of Development and Agriculture to seek solutions to reduce the damage caused by the floods that in this area, especially since 2011 after modifying the cultivable area, usually occur in September as a result of the cold drop. "
The Cs spokesman says there is an open cause related to these events in which the prosecutor "believes that the floods that occurred in Mar de Cristal, Playa Honda and Los Nietos from 2011 to 2015 are the result of the transformation of land for irrigated crops without authorization, including the alteration of slopes and the diversion of boulevards, in the absence of what is finally decided, it seems a complete reckless irresponsibility that has not been acted already.
Storm Tank of La Aljorra
With the relation to the information published today by the newspaper La Verdad about the delay of the works of the tank of storms in the Aljorra, the spokesman of Citizens has accused directly to Podemos and especially to MC, "with his blackmails and his refusal to work and negotiate budgets with the aim of harming the PSOE and its subsequent allegations to the accounts, delayed a work of vital importance to the residents of La Aljorra, again MC placed above the general interest and the safety of the people , his political-electoral strategies that in this case consisted of preventing the PSOE from bidding on works from the Government of Cartagena, "says Manuel Padín," this populist policy is pernicious, and if it is done in the name of a false cartagenerism, vomiting "
