The co-coordinator of Ecology and Environmental IU-Green, David Fernandez, considered today to do swimmers pay for parking at the beach Calblanque (Cartagena) is "only the beginning of the privatization of natural spaces in the Region of Murcia. "

Fernandez has indicated that this measure, far from the tourist reduce pressure on the natural park, "will seek alternatives that many swimmers to leave their vehicles without paying," which will involve "saturation of hits or proliferation of small areas parking in the vicinity. "

In his opinion, "impose payment for parking at the beach is a Calblanque solely revenue-raising measure that will not reduce the arrival of visitors, and that access and remain open until tank could move within the park without any limitation. "

He indicated that the initiative, approved by the regional government and promoted by the Custody institution Land Protection Calblanque Mount of Ashes and Eagle Rock, which is the majority partner company Costa Paradiso, "is only the first stone in order to exploit the park for tourism. "

"I tried it in the early 2000s, promoted as a residential building in the Park", said Fernandez, who added that the company "in its insistence profit from the land he owns, aims economically exploit Calblanque ".

He also emphasized that one of the objectives of Costa Paradiso is "converted into holiday apartments over 50 housing" with which account.

In this regard, he stressed that "the most logical" to ensure the protection of space and defense of the common good is that the regional government expropriates private land that is inside the park, as authorized by the law of the Land of Region of Murcia.

In addition, Fernandez has decided that the best option is to restrict access into the park to all motor vehicles, and only allow access by foot or non-motorized means of transport, and to establish a bus service to move swimmers.

Initiatives in the Regional Assembly

IU-Greens rejected the way in which the regional government has addressed the protection of Calblanque and in this sense, has announced that a number of initiatives in the regional Parliament.

On the other hand, it will file a motion in order to claim the Regional Government to convene a meeting of the Advisory Council on the Environment, a participatory body in which are represented environmental organizations, to conclude the best way to protect Calblanque .
