- "See today the PP claim solutions and projects for El Hondón seems a joke in bad taste," says the spokesman of Cs reminds that from 2003 to 2014, "not a year passed without the PP promised that decontamination and Regeneration project was imminent, after 11 years of lies and betrayal now dare to claim a solution with great dignity, it is simply despicable.
Cartagena, Tuesday October 30-.
After today accompanying the neighbors that make up the platform that fights for the decontamination of the soils of El Hondón, in Santa Lucía-Los Mateos, for the old factory of Peñarroya, and in Torreciega for Zincsa, the spokesperson for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, recalled that what happens in El Hondón is known and has been certified since 2001, "all administrations, those of the PSOE and especially those of the PP, are responsible, and all have incurred in the abandonment of functions."
"While the Prosecutor's Office decides if this constitutes a crime against the environment and seeks those responsible, we must work to secure the area as soon as possible," said the orange spokesman before the media.
Regarding the details offered today by the Superior Prosecutor of the Region of Murcia, José Luís Díaz Manzanera, about extending the investigation to the Zincsa and Peñarroya lands, as requested by the neighborhood organizations, Padín understands that "it is desirable, and I hope that this is how the prosecutor understands it, because all these cases have a common denominator, a popular party that is irresponsible and incapable of looking after the City Council or the Ministry of the Environment for the health of its neighbors and the land of Cartagena. "
"See today the PP claim solutions and projects for El Hondón seems a joke in bad taste," says the spokesman of Cs reminds that from 2003 to 2014, "not a year went by without the PP promised that the decontamination and the project of regeneration were something imminent, after 11 years of lies and betrayal now dare to claim with pride and dignity a solution, it is simply despicable.
Manuel Padín regrets that it was in March 2018, a year later to demand Cs in the Assembly, and two after the Nuclear Safety Council did, when the City Council drafted the draft of the enclosure and fence of El Hondón, sending it to Solvia to execute him, "apparently not knowing that the mayor of Cartagena would take shortly after the decision to acquire their land and with them the responsibility of installing the security fence."
Now the City is waiting to receive the authorizations and considerations of the General Directorate of Environment, ADIF, General Directorate of Roads, General Directorate of Cultural Assets, Commonwealth of the Taibilla Canals, and the Confederación Hidrográfica del Segura, "something very simple taking into account the complex bureaucracy we have and the chronic lack of coordination between administrations of different political colors, "regrets Manuel Padín.
"What can not be is that after 16 years since the end of industrial activity in the area and since there are studies that point to pollution, PP and PSOE continue to blame today for administratively delaying the authorization for the security fence, if they have not This is not even what we can expect from the plan and the funding to regenerate the area, "Padín asks.
Cs also believes that "the PSOE already report the consequences of buying the land of El Hondón, and explain what you want to do in El Hondón or in what state is the decontamination plan and the ordering of uses that is being made the UPCT, and that presumably will be presented in the coming days.
According to Manuel Padín, "the decision of the project that is raised there will not only determine the decontamination plan but also mark the source of funding for the regeneration of the spaces, that is, if the developer compensates or does not assume the expense or the access or not to certain European, state and regional aid, and that strategic decision that will define the future of Cartagena can not be taken by the PSOE, a party that only represents 17 percent of Cartagena's voters.
In any case, Manuel Padin believes, "unviable, unfair, and abusive that the payment comes exclusively from the pocket of Cartagena as has suggested on occasion the regional PP that has come to the point of threatening coercive fines to the City."
"We are concerned about this attitude because it seems that the PP is willing to get out of the way and not take responsibility in all this, offers neither hope nor solutions to Cartagena, does not seek or work to seek European or state aid lines of the he does not even remember, he just laughs at the PSOE in Cartagena for acquiring the land and wiping his hands, we should remember that the Ministry of Environment is also that of all Cartagena.
