| The mayor has reported in the extraordinary plenary session of the report that certifies that the actions that have been carried out so far, at the request of the City Council, have been adequate | On the morning of this Wednesday, June 24, the State Attorney General's Office sent a report to the Cartagena City Council confirming that the perimeter fencing and the signage that has been done on the El Hondón plot have been adequate and “currently There is no risk to people's health.
"The mayor, Ana Belén Castejón, reported on this report during the extraordinary municipal plenary session on the Environment, which was held this morning at the City Hall.
"This report confirms that the actions that we demand from Ercros to protect the citizens from the phospho-gypsum residues of said plot have been the most appropriate.
This supposes an endorsement to the management that we are carrying out in the matter of environment ”, has indicated the mayor.The Ercros company, with which the City Council reached an agreement last year, completed the perimeter fencing of the El Hondón land to restrict access to the plot.
The measure was also backed by the Nuclear Safety Council, which ensured that it was sufficient to guarantee that the impact on the population was not significant from the point of view of radiation protection.Once the Prosecutor's Office has verified that there is no risk for people, the Hondón land has already been declared contaminated soil and that the Autonomous Community has rejected the allegations of the company responsible for its decontamination, the next step is for the company to present his project so that this expansion area of ??Cartagena is, once and for all, decontaminated.
