The City of Cartagena Cartagena encourages all to participate in the demonstration in defense of the Tajo-Segura convened by the Central Union of Irrigation, to be held in Murcia from 17.30 am on March 18.

Therefore, charter buses will be free to attend this event, which will depart at 15.30 hours from the Building Regidor, headquarters of the Irrigation Association of Campo de Cartagena, Paseo Alfonso XIII.

To reserve a place in one of these buses, call Monday through Friday, from 9 to 14 and from 16 to 19 hours on the phone 968 51 42 00 or email apoyotrasvase@crcc.es.

Demonstration is scheduled to start at 17.30 hours, from the Plaza Circular of Murcia and the journey will take them to the old bridge in the city.

Given the large number of people expected to attend this event, it is recommended to opt for public transport to get to the point of departure.

Cartagena City Council unanimously approved at the last plenary session, a motion reiterating its commitment to defend this transfer and therefore opposing the reduction of water established by law and any date of expiry.

Also shows his rejection of any increase in the environmental flow that endangers or impairs the maintenance of the transfer.

According to the motion approved, the Tajo-Segura is the most cost-effective infrastructure of Spain in the last two years.

Not only has allowed the development of agriculture in the Mediterranean toe but contributes in a very positive trade balance of Spain, especially in horticulture.

The disappearance of the Tajo-Segura, as well as hamper the development of agriculture in the Region of Murcia, in Europe the most competitive and less subsidized, force 130,000 workers in this sector unemployment.

The threats to the Tajo-Segura Aqueduct are especially severe for Cartagena and its surroundings, where agriculture, industry and tourism is particularly relevant.

In this sense, the claim of the Draft Amendment of the Statute of Castilla La Mancha to modify, interpret and nullify the law regulating the Tajo Segura is deemed clearly unconstitutional.
