The Southeastern Association of Naturalists requests the President of the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia, Alberto Garre, annul the decision of final approval of the reclassification of floors Novo Carthago (San Ginés de la Jara, Cartagena, Mar Menor)
ANSE believes that the information available at the inquest, and the imputation of all the heads of local and regional authorities who participated in the General Plan amendment to recommend to reverse this development project, which also contributed to the ruin of the Caja de Ahorros del Mediterráneo.
The Southeastern Association of Naturalists has been present in all administrative and judicial proceedings of this case, and warned from the beginning of the negative environmental and social consequences of massive urbanization (8,000 to 10,000 homes, 2 golf courses, hotels and various infrastructure) south of the Mar Menor, even holding four meetings on this issue with the president Ramón Luis Valcárcel.
The economic consequences have been equally dramatic, and also affect the neighboring resort of Lo Poyo, whose testimony favorable environmental impact was approved by the Autonomous Community simultaneously San Ginés de La Jara (Novo Carthago), with a cost to the Kutxa, who had financed the acquisition of part of the land, of 119 million euros.
Do not forget that the same president Valcárcel announced in the regional parliament had ordered paralyze the draft Lo Poyo benefit of Novo Carthago project.
The decision of the Supreme Court to declare itself competent to judge the mayor of Cartagena, Pilar Barreiro to be prima facie, support Reasoned statement of the judge of the Superior Court of Murcia, and allow the other defendants to be tried in the region.
The high court's decision will facilitate the exercise of the prosecution of ANSE, who will try also in person at the trial of the mayor of Cartagena in the Supreme.
Without downplaying the allegations of the current Minister of Agriculture, Water and Environment, Antonio Cerdá, the exconsejero of Public Works and Planning and current Chief Minister, Joaquín Bascuñana at exconsejero Environment Francisco Marqués, and the current mayor Cartagena and deputy in Congress Pilar Barreiro, ANSE still considers Valcárcel as head of urban and environmental nonsense of Novo Carthago.
ANSE opinion that the evidence pointed to by the holder of the magistrate are sufficient for the government of the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia proceed with the cancellation of the reclassification of land in the hamlet of San Ginés de La Jara (Cartagena, Mar Minor).
The Association also believes that the annulment of the reclassification of land by the government of Alberto Garre prove they have actually learned from the mistakes of the governments of Ramón Luis Valcárcel, and give another chance to Mar Menor to prevent further urban development destroying their environment as has occurred in recent decades.
