The commitment of MC
Jesús Giménez recalled how, during these last years, MC renewed his commitment in the fight against pollution, the most important and forgotten cause in our municipality, reviewing the different advances promoted by the Cartagena training in this legislature, in which, for the first time Once, solutions have been sought in matters such as:
The constitution of the Air Quality Board.
The installation of Bisphenol meter and La Aljorra station.
The study of risks and characterization of soils of El Hondón.
The evaluation studies of El Llano del Beal school and preventive measures, making it possible to open the center after the summer of 2017.
The creation of the Chair of Environment with the UPCT and the first measures related to climate change.
The approval, at the beginning of 2019, of a plenary initiative to request the Autonomous Community to carry out and publish epidemiological studies in the affected areas.
The Cartagena president "also recalled that, from the City Hall, José López has served as a speaker to these claims and marked on the agenda as a priority the health of people and the improvement of the environment."
In contrast to this, "the Autonomous Community wants, for example, to educate in the resignation of the children of El Llano del Beal, to which, according to what the parents have told us, they do not offer solutions to pollution, but if they have been presented to 'Plumb and Jabonete', one more way to trivialize the health problems of these children who hide. "
Future actions
Among the future measures to be implemented from May, the MC leader announced "the continuity of the reforestation plans, the creation of an Environment service, continue with the municipal studies on air quality and measures that improve the health of Cartagena, the beginning of measures and social awareness campaigns, in addition to the commitment to force individuals and other administrations to decontaminate the soils and provide budget, remembering that Cartagena is supportive and supports the risk of its port and its refinery and that the health of its inhabitants does not deserve the contempt of institutions and big companies ".
