The coordinator of IU in Cartagena, Victoria Rodriguez, was surprised today by "the certainty with which the Port Authority chairman, Adrian Angel Viudes says and sets deadlines for the construction of the port of Gorguel without taking into account the different procedures administration in which not only he has to say. "

"IU has always voiced opposition to the installation of the container terminal on the beach of El Gorguel, as it only meets the expectations of widows."

"In fact," said Rodriguez, in the Valley have already been completed on several occasions important coastal areas for containers at docks with another user at the end. "

VUID reminded that in 2000 it was agreed unanimously by the full City Council of Cartagena the regeneration of the beach of El Gorguel and September 2006, filed another motion, showing their displeasure for being in a place that belongs to the network Natura 2000 protected areas of the European Union, with declarations of Site of Community Importance (SCI) and Special Protection Area for Birds (SPA), so that "the damage would be irreparable."

From IU feel the need to consider other alternatives that do not involve "wiping out the little remaining virgin coastline, as it could be use in areas reclaimed from the sea tailings instead of having it used for other purposes (cement) or the creation of a port Dry Valley Escombreras joined by rail. "

For the regional coordinator of IU, José Antonio Booming, "The problem that arises with the macropuerto answered the government's industrial mismanagement of PP in the name of progress aims to wipe out all betting on large scale projects of doubtful viability in an area beset with a great environmental destruction. "

Booming said "have to know what's true in the continuing statements of the President of the Region of Murcia, Ramón Luis Valcárcel, which boasts the region of Murcia is the community of more protected areas."

In this sense, "should explain how you think you can combine the priority established by the Environmental Protection Act and the creation of a macropuerto in protected areas."
