Both formations have pointed out that "even the former mayor camera, a character that is three times the accused, agreed to take over this infrastructure, something that itself has agreed Ballesta, trying to 'sneak' this assignment within the numerous points of Murcia River project agreement "
Now Murcia has filed today an administrative remedy to challenge the two points of the agreement involving the transfer to the City of maintenance and operation of the recirculation system flow
Now Murcia and we have denounced today the agreement signed between the city of Murcia and the Hydrographic Confederation of Segura (CHS) for the Consistory takes over the pumping system for recirculation flow, "a completed pharaonic work and perfectly useless 2013 ".
Both formations have noted that the intended use of this system would mean for municipal coffers an annual cost of at least 435,393 euros (almost 9 million euros in its 20-year life), and this also without the benefits to the general interest infrastructure are quantified.
Moreover, as explained, two of the points of that agreement are null and void, for breaches of Law 10/2001 of 5 July, the National Hydrological Plan;
of Royal Legislative Decree 1/2001 of 20 July, approving the revised text of the Water Law approved;
of Law 30/1992 of 26 November on the Legal Regime of Public Administrations and the Common Administrative Procedure;
of the Law on Local Government;
of the Water Framework Directive and the Hydrological Plan of the Segura, so by administrative appeal Now Murcia has today challenged these two points of the agreement, which are those that involve the transfer of the maintenance and operation of the recirculation system flow .
This information was detailed today in a press conference held by the Segura River, by the councilors of Murcia Now Alicia Morales and Micol Angeles;
Can regional deputies Maria Gimenez and Andres Pedroza, and the secretary general of Podemos in Murcia, Toni Carrasco.
Micol explained that "the City can not handle the assignment to take over the operation and maintenance of a project that you have yet to implement some of the works provided, which has not been guaranteed its effectiveness, nor have evaluated cheaper alternatives and effective, nor improving economic productivity and employment in the area, as acknowledged by the own feasibility study of the CHS, plus it violates the resolution of 3 October 2008 the Secretary of State for Rural and Water. Ballesta signed this agreement to avoid passing the transfer by the plenary, as it should have done. "
Councilwoman recalled that the project agreement Murcia Rio includes the requirement that the City of Murcia takes over the pumping system for recirculating flows of the Segura river between the Arboleja and Fica, "a useless work that cost almost 15 million euros of public money and is finished since 2013 without having started operation ".
Councilwoman Now Murcia notes that the agreement with the CHS Murcia Consistory is said that the sale "will not impose specific additional or the ordinary functioning of both institutions expenses", but according to the feasibility study of the CHS, so that the pumping system to be effective must be used 225 days a year, representing an expenditure of 4435,393 euros, a cost estimate also out of date (for 8 years) and does not include any repairs ".
Meanwhile, the spokesman Now Murcia, Alicia Morales, stressed that "we are strongly opposed to the City Council take charge of this system and the very high annual costs involved" and stressed that "not even the former mayor Chamber, a character that is three times the accused, agreed to take over this infrastructure, something that itself has agreed, without the slightest embarrassment, Ballesta, trying to 'sneak' this assignment within the many points made in the project agreement Murcia River. Ballesta hidden from the public that responsibility pumping system will cost Murcia 435,393 euros per year, which means that to save the furniture to the CHS is deceiving all Murcia ".
Morales explained that the feasibility report of the CHS has fundamental weaknesses "such as lack of Environmental Impact Assessment", while recognizing such serious things "as it has not assessed the ecological flow throughout the area condition , which have not been analyzed alternatives for minimizing the environmental impact or, most important of all, there is a balance between investment which led the project and the benefits that would report ".
Despite all this, as emphasized by the mayor, "the project took place, botched fledged now Ballesta 'swallows' for the CHS can bypass the controls of the European Union, which contributed 80 % of the nearly 15 million cost. "
"Now Murcia supports and wishes regeneration Segura passing through Murcia, but certainly the best way to do this is not that the City takes over dilapidated pumping system this," said the spokesman, who added that " it is shameful that once again the City Council crease to the interests of other administration and assume its problems and poor planning, something that has already happened with the works of the AVE, the regional hire Latbus or closing outpatient. in addition, CHS has an unfortunate history of pufos and failed projects, of which our Consistory can not be an accomplice now, let alone using obscurantist practices and suspicion ".
The secretary general of Podemos in Murcia, Toni Carrasco, explained that "nearly 15 million euros of public money spent on pumping system could have been allocated to projects with a social or / and much greater environmental benefit."
In the same vein, he asked "how many school meals, transportation vouchers, grants for social services, employment plans, etc. etc. can be financed with those over 400,000 euros a year will cost us to maintain the work?" .
For the regional deputy Podemos Maria Gimenez "This action responds to the typical scheme of operation of PP with infrastructure: for them what is really important is the realization of the work, and once completed we'll see if it works for something, what costs maintenance is, who the faces ... ".
The representative announced that we bring these facts to the attention of the deputies of training in Madrid and its MEPs, "that from the Congress and from Brussels these works are investigated".
Deputy Andres Pedroza, meanwhile, lamented that these actions have been producing at the same time took place the most serious abandonment and deterioration of the Mar Menor: "While the ecological jewel of our region suffered the most absolute institutional neglect, which has filled waters of nutrients, CHS spent almost 15 million euros in unnecessary work. This neglect of the PP in the management of public resources and prioritization can only be the result of the most severe myopia or that interest so often demonstrated by performing pharaonic and useless works. it seems clear that the only thing that interests the PP, too often, is moving large amounts of public money from one place to another, regardless of its usefulness and welfare of the citizens. "
Returning to the vice of nullity of two of the points of agreement of the City of Murcia with the CHS, both formations have explained that "the thirteenth additional provision of Law 30/1992 of 26 November can not cover this agreement, contrary to what is said at the beginning of your text, since the acts referred to in Article 6 concerns are between the General Administration and public bodies such as the CHS with the Autonomous Communities, but not with local authorities, as it is the City of Murcia ".
In addition, the agreement signed can not rely on Article 28.4 of the National Hydrological Plan (PHN), "as the project 'Recirculation flow and conditioning of speckling in the urban section of Murcia' under Article 24 of the Consolidated Text the Water Act, would be a competition of water administration on public water and, therefore, is excluded from the proceedings in public waterways in urban areas that could correspond to the competent authorities in the field of regional planning and urbanism of speaking that Article 28.4 of PHN ".
Moreover, as has been highlighted Now Murcia and Podemos, "the processing of the transfer of the project 'Recirculation flow and conditioning of speckling in the urban section of Murcia' is not up to the CHS, as it is a work declared of general interest, so that the transfer of this project is to process it Ministry of Environment and not the CHS, just as has happened ".
Besides all this, it is a project that mostly runs along Rustic undeveloped land Huerta NR, protected by its high landscape and environmental values, "so that in the unlikely event that the agreement was not void, the only thing that could force the council to assume, based on Article 28.4 of PHN, is 17'24% of expenditure on maintenance and operation of the recirculation system flow ".
Finally, they pointed out that "it is not the President of the CHS who has the authority to sign the agreement in question, but should do the Governing Board of the CHS".
Therefore, now Murcia and we have expressed its strong opposition "to the city of Murcia in charge of this botched be done" and have said they will carry out "all actions that are within our reach to prevent the dislate led out by the CHS becomes the responsibility of the Consistory ".
