The Association of Neighbors of the Sector Station was yesterday afternoon the scene where the informative assembly `The poison that left us Potasas' was carried out.
There was announced the creation of a neighborhood platform to demand the cleaning of contaminated soils of the industrial belt of Cartagena.
The meeting was attended by the councilor of MC, María José Soler, as well as the president of the Cartagena training, Jesus Giménez, who supported the residents of San Ginés, Santa Lucia, Torreciega, Los Mateos and Sector Station, in their initiative to give a step forward in order to put an end to the inaction of the different administrations, which do not put a stop to decontamination and whose consequences affect them in the first person.
According to the president of MC, "the only good news of yesterday's meeting is the awakening of society, the demand for information and solutions for a problem that lasts 17 years and that comes from much further, pollution and its influence on the health of all Cartagena. "
For Jesus Giménez, "in the polluted belt of Cartagena there is a common denominator, exogenous companies that for decades drain resources and go uncontaminated, and a permissive PP and PSOE and part of a stage of urban balls in which they prioritized the business, or negotiate, to health. "
For Giménez, "if we review, we find José Antonio Alonso as an intermediary in ZINCSA, a Mirror and Segado for environmental managers and all local governments until José López arrived without doing anything but waiting for a promoter to fix it. "
On the Hondón, the spokesman of MC has indicated that "if the decontamination project is not already presented, it is because Castejón delayed the assignment to the UPCT for months and we will have to wait another year, as for the Community since 2001 without saying anything of heavy metals and their influence on the diseases that we suffer more from Cartagena than in other areas. "
And he adds that "MC is on the side of always, of reason and justice, of the neighbors and we hope that the rest cross and align with them at last because you can not maintain this threat any longer for political reasons."
Jesús Giménez concludes by saying that "we insist, the Puerto and the owner-owners should be required to decontaminate Peñarroya and ZINCSA, and the City Council to renounce the capital gains for a greater good, but also urgently to the Community and the state to provide funds in 2019, without forgetting that it is a public health emergency and that with the fifth part of those that are destined every year to Lorca in the regional budget El Hondón is decontaminated ".
