From Izquierda Unida - Verdes in the municipality of Murcia it is indicated that pyrotechnic shows such as those developed yesterday in the same riverbed in front of the City Hall are hardly compatible with sustaining the concept of the river as a natural space and respect for the birdlife that still inhabits In this section.
This new aggression against the Segura river as it passes through the city is added to others that, protected in many cases under the Murcia Río project, are doing nothing more than prioritize the festive recreational use of this stretch of the river well above its preservation and environmental recovery
In this way, what is being achieved in recent months according to several studies is an alarming loss of the biodiversity of the safe river as it passes through the capital, detecting a decrease in species that inhabit it both in quantity and variety, especially in in relation to the birdlife that is gradually abandoning that less and less natural space and increasingly becoming a simple water channel that serves as an amusement park where the same is organized a swim race, which projects a film or becomes the seat of a pyrotechnic show.
The formation of lefts considers that there are other places more suitable for the realization of this type of spectacles and the municipal government is urged to enable another urban space away from the channel destined for this type of events and events.
Thus, Ginés Mirón has affirmed that "with these actions it is shown that the Murcia Río project has no other objective than to convert the urban stretch of the safe river into a kind of amusement park, interestingly when it is the town hall itself that collects in documentation the presence of various species of birds such as kingfishers, egrets, coot or blue ducks, whose welfare is not taken into account when programming this type of action. "
"Ballesta insists on a city model based on colored lights, no matter if they are located on Gran Vía, on Paseo Alfonso X or on the same riverbed, something surprising in one of the areas with the greatest light pollution of the country, an abuse that, taken to a natural space such as the Segura riverbed, becomes an unnecessary nuisance for the entire ecosystem of this section, something that in our opinion is totally incompatible with the candidacy of Murcia to Green Capital European 2022 since these types of cities base precisely all their activities on respecting the living conditions of all the beings that inhabit them, not just humans. "
The head of Environment and Climate Change of IU-Verdes Murcia has finished.
