Andrés Pedreño, regional deputy, has listed the pollution problems that cover the land of El Hondón.
Toxic and dangerous substances for all those living in the port city as "radioactive waste, very harmful chemical elements and heavy metals that could even be leaking into groundwater".
If neither the City of Cartagena, the PSOE, nor the regional government of the PP, "have as a priority to act to decontaminate these lands, are condemning Cartagena and Cartagena to breathe, and perhaps to drink, radioactive elements that can cause deadly diseases "
Pedreño has detailed the organisms that affirm that El Hondón is contaminated.
Among them, said the deputy of Podemos, the Nuclear Safety Council, the Professional Association of Technicians in Nuclear Safety and Radiological Protection, the Ombudsman, the Polytechnic University of Cartagena, neighborhood associations, affected platforms and environmental groups.
In fact, the deputy of Podemos has stressed, we have some "worrying investigations of the Arrixaca Environmental Health Unit that warn of a significant increase in rates of childhood cancer in the area." A recent article by Dr. Juan Antonio's team Ortega points out that El Hondón is one of the three clusters of childhood lymphomas. "
Although, the government of the Popular Party "has never demanded from the owners of the land, nor from those responsible for the pollution, that they carry out the decontamination tasks required by law." Nor did it when it governed the City Council of Cartagena, when it should have carried out the indispensable precautionary works that various administrations and reports recommended, such as adequate signage, fencing and preventive covering of the land until the soils are definitely decontaminated, something that Castejón could have already done time, although it seems that after buying the land, the mayor does not see much further ".
Pedreño stressed that "the list of errors does not stop there." The PP has not made the declaration of the soils as contaminated, a matter that has prevented the process of decontamination from starting and asking the former owners of the land for responsibilities. has studied in depth the possible impact of pollution on the health of people living in the neighborhoods surrounding the land. "
Therefore, the deputy of Podemos has had an impact, what President López Miras has to do is declare these lands as "soils contaminated by heavy metals." In this way, the regional administration will be forced to carry out the necessary actions to clean it up and recovery, in the manner and terms determined. "
The Podemos motion calls for the Ministry to be firm with the City Council of the port city and with the Autonomous Community so that urgent measures are applied while decontamination is not carried out.
Likewise, Podemos wants that Fomento does not carry out any action related to the burial of the AVE in the area since they may affect the pyrite and phosphogypses pools, something that may be of high risk, until the conclusive reports of CSN are known. in relation to radioactivity and the way to proceed with its decontamination.
As it has counted the deputy of We can, Andrés Pedreño, is the Ministry of Transition Energetic the one that must make pressure on the Consistory of Cartagena and the presidency of the Region of Murcia so that these do not follow "draining the bulge." We are talking about a problem of public health This is a red area of ​​radioactivity and we do not know to what extent the minister is conscious of the intentions of the City Council, also of the PSOE, to start building on these lands without being decontaminated before, not to mention that it is totally unfeasible to think that, for now, the buried AVE can enter Cartagena ".
