The agricultural minister of CARM, Francisco Jódar, visited yesterday the Agro-Food Experiment Station 'Tomás Ferro' de la Palma, where he informed of the imminent opening of the ferries of San Cayetano and of this experimental farm, with the intention To allow further research into the treatment and elimination of nitrates and the reduction of brine.
Questioned by this announcement, MC president Jesús Giménez recalled that "the rafts and the wells are closed because the central and regional governments, both of the PP, agreed in the summer of 2016 to cover their responsibility and incapacity Criminalizing the farmers for the situation of the Mar Menor "
With this, continues Giménez, "they have put in check the agriculture of the Region of Cartagena, without improving the state of the Mar Menor, as it has been demonstrated this month of August, in which it is not clean, but green, except in the pages Paid by the regional government to sell another color and cleanse their image, their conscience, or both. "
Likewise, the president of MC has stated that "the regional inoperability contrasts with the interest and diligence of the farmers and José López, who have opened the only way of hope through the research of the UPCT in the farm Tomas Ferro" .
In this regard, Jesús Giménez recalled that this issue refers to the chairmen subscribed by the irrigators with the UPCT, as well as the first international agronomic prize, instituted by López this year and awarded to the study 'Efficient and sustainable management of
Nitrogen in the agrosystems of the Cartagena field ', prepared by two students of Agronomic Engineering of the UPCT.
Giménez recalled that "these researchers propose the treatment and reuse of nitrates, eliminating spills, favoring respect for the environment, sustainability and circular economy, offering solutions to the problems of our field and the Mar Menor."
"This necessary investigation is hampered by the administrations managed by the PP, who do not understand the seriousness of the problem or, worse yet, only seeks to cover their miseries."
In this regard, Giménez noted that "yesterday announced that soon it will be allowed to investigate, as if you should be grateful to slow down the solutions to the problems that they have created."
Likewise, the president of MC has assured that "wherever the PP passes the nature and the economy disappears. Without its absolute majority serving us to the citizens of the Region, and allowing us to reach new threats, such as The reports that put in doubt the water deficit of our Autonomous Community ".
Greenpeace Report
In this sense, Jesús Giménez referred to the report called 'The plot of water in the Segura basin, ten years later', made public by Greenpeace, in which it states that the Tajo-Segura transfer can be closed in three years due to That the Autonomous Community is self-sufficient, even going so far as to point out that it has a surplus of 200 cubic hectometres per year, not counting the water coming from the Tagus and giving good the current demand and future forecasts.
The president of MC has stated that "when we are suffering from a drought situation and for farmers in the countryside of Cartagena are all uncertainties in the months of September and October we find that we have water, and it is proposed that in a few years Nor even the Tajo-Segura transfer. "
Finally, Jesús Giménez stressed that "it is not a joke of bad taste, but a study tending to convince us that we must renounce solidarity in our country, and in our region to the food industry, should be the first time that the PP and this organization agree on something, and is to do damage to agriculture and our autonomous community. "
"We are very afraid," said Giménez, "that Jódar, who today speaks of barbarity or frightening ridicule, ends up collapsing Cospedal and Castilla La Mancha and ending the economy and the survival of the Region."
