The undersigned organizations, representing neighborhood groups and associations in the Sierra Minera Cartagena and the region, and environmental groups believe the Cartagena Port Authority has not taken into account the main recommendations of the previous meeting the Sectoral Social Partners.
They claim that the Environmental Sustainability Report "Infrastructure Master Plan of the new dock in Cartagena" (macropuerto of The Gorguel), does not include the use or adaptation of macropuerto Escombreras (still unfinished), and won supermarkets port sea, and have led to the bombing of the end of the Sierra de La Fausilla.
Nor do they include the alternative of a dry port in the region of Cartagena, linked to the use of the expansion of tailings.
The organizations claim that the Prime Minister of the Region of Murcia has announced the declaration of regional interest and the request for declaration of National Interest macropuerto El Gorguel, before they even completed the process of environmental assessment and consultation to the European Union.
The statements of President Valcárcel few days before a meeting of the Sectoral follows the pattern set by the previous meeting, when the president of the Port Authority of Cartagena was meeting with the Minister of the Presidency (and the Environment) of the Autonomous Community , announcing that they would work together to achieve the construction of the port in Gorguel.
The organizations believe that the public interest is to protect this coastal Sierra de La Fausilla, encouraging action on Interest Regional Regeneration Portman Bay and the Sierra Minera recovery, as agreed by the Regional Assembly of October 10, 2002 and collected in the Guidelines and Spatial Plan for the Coastal Region of Murcia, between performances including "strategic" to develop Portman and Sierra Minera, providing in Article 37 that declared Interesting as Acting Regional Regeneration Portman Bay and the Sierra Minera, and promote environmental restoration Creek The Gorguel.
The total destruction Escombreras Valley and its nearby coast, and Portman Bay, have already been enough, so that the state government should require the Ministry to carry out the regeneration of Portman Bay and develop this Performance of regional interest, to promote a new stage of development of this region based on environmental restoration planning and sustainable tourism development, totally incompatible with the installation against Portman Bay port facility of this macro.
Regenerate Portman Bay is not reduced as a sport dock says APC, but needs a natural environment and cultural well preserved.
We claim as a preliminary approval of management plans for natural areas of Natura 2000 (SCI and SPA Sierra de La Fausilla) affected by this project, which has been requested by the defense organizations of nature and the EU itself inadmissible at the delay in processing the CARM, and the statement of BIC as Historic Site of Sierra Mining and recognition as a cultural landscape.
Denounce the travesty of participation in the development of the Environmental Sustainability Report (ISA) has launched the APC, since from the beginning conceived the development of it as a formality to go ahead with its previous decision and immovable build this macropuerto in The Gorguel, despite its very high environmental and landscape impact, and at no time have heard the arguments against are rated not really alternatives.
For this reason, social organizations, neighborhood and environmentalists who have been participating in the Strategic Environmental Assessment process have left the table with social sector convened today by the APC.
In this time of high unemployment so severe, it is unfortunate that the president of APC continue selling falsely and shamelessly this project "ensuring full employment in the Union".
The region already has experience of two large investments in infrastructure, expansion of the port itself Escombreras, and the vast expansion of the refinery tailings, that do not require a solution to the problems of employment in the area, since both La Union Cartagena and continue to lead in the unemployment rates in the region.
