Spotlights embedded in our urban belt such as El Hondón, ZINCSA and Peñarroya, the insufficient environmental recovery of the Sierra Minera and the air quality throughout the municipality, especially with regard to La Aljorra or Alumbres, are clear examples of the irresponsible policies that Our municipality has suffered recurrently in terms of prevention against contaminating effects.

This neighborhood concern, shared with our training, and symbolized in different meetings held with associations of the most affected nuclei, has led MC Cartagena to promote the celebration of an extraordinary and monographic Plenary that addresses the problem of pollution in Cartagena, evaluating and claiming measures to improve the quality of life of all Cartagena.

The deputy spokesman of the Municipal Group, Jesús Giménez, has denounced that "in Cartagena there are deaths and diseases whose cause is known and looked the other way, our future is more than compromised, that is why we demand concrete and immediate measures, and we will give voice to the neighbors in this municipal plenary. "

The mayor has explained that "to the already known problem that represent the Mar Menor, poor air quality, polluted urban belt or runoff from mining operations we have to add the alarming and disturbing news that appeared this weekend in the newspaper The Truth and which refer to the heavy metal pollution of the Mediterranean and the risks caused by the fall of the train track upon arrival in Cartagena. "

The mayor has called attention to the fact that "the rates of cancer in the population or lead in the blood of children in El Llano del Beal remain hidden or not studied by the regional government, which does not make public epidemiological studies while they allow those responsible to continue their activity and do not force the decontamination of the land. Arroyo and Castejón applaud it and even impose a railway route through that area compromised by pollution. That is why they must also be held accountable. "

Giménez: "An environmental 155 is essential"

For all these reasons, he has assured that "every day that passes is more evident that the current regional government is disabled to solve the public health problem that they themselves have created with their irresponsibility, so we are convinced that, as well as finances have intervened to pay suppliers, the same should be done with CARM for the attack on our nature and our future. "

"An environmental 155 is essential and begins to be the only hope of firm action. In addition, thus, the central government could not continue to look the other way and would be solely responsible for acting or continuing the same situation."

Finally, the Councilor of Cartagena has concluded recalling a very present fact for all Cartagena: "28 years ago, such as today, the industrial crisis caused mobilization and the burning of the Regional Assembly. Even today, 28 years later, they remain without restore the effects of the closure of those industrial farms ".
