After the news appeared in The Truth about the reactivation of the 'case Balsa Jenny' by the prosecution for alleged ecological risk, which has definitely put the focus of Justice on the Autonomous Community, We can hold the Regional Government responsible for the deception towards the neighbors, and for allegedly disregarding, for ten years, their obligation to protect the health of people and the natural environment of the Sierra Minera de Cartagena-La Unión and Mar Menor.
According to the news of the Truth, the prosecution ensures that there are "indications of the possible commission of a crime against the environment and / or a crime of prevarication" by the Environmental Quality Directorate and its Service of
Surveillance and Control, for the delay in sealing and the restoration of the Los Blancos deposit.
For the purple formation this accusation is very serious, because of prospering the same, we would be before a Government of the PP that has put in serious risk the health of the neighbors of the area of ​​the Llano del Beal, and that therefore does not deserve to continue governing .
From CTSSP, the municipal group of We can in the City council, denounce that the Popular Party spent 6 million euros in a restoration of which to this day continue to ooze saline efflorescence with highly toxic heavy metals, the same ones that go to the streets of the Llano, and through the ramblas to the Mar Menor.
"If the prosecutor's complaint is confirmed, the same one that neighbors have been doing for years, and now through the Platform of Affected by heavy metals, the entire society would have to ask for responsibilities from politicians who have only benefited the interests of some few, abandoning the general interest, which are not others than the neighbors and the natural environment ", according to Pilar Marcos, Secretary General of Podemos Cartagena.
We can also denounce that despite the danger of these wastes transferred to the Los Blancos deposit, this landfill was not waterproofed and the sterile ones were out in the open, without covering for a decade, allowing the runoffs that were produced by the rains to take the heavy metals towards the towns of the Sierra Minera and also towards the Mar Menor.
"In the Sierra Minera there are still 89 mining deposits that are still not decontaminated, awaiting public action by an irresponsible government that does not demand the basic principle that" the polluter pays ", because it protects the polluting company before, that the polluted ones, neighbors and Mar Menor "the spokeswoman of CTSSP ends.
