Given the events of the General Juntamento irrigators held at the Municipal Plenary Hall on Thursday March 13, 2014, from HUERMUR want to highlight the following issues:
The attempt to silence the voice of the farmers, and even reduce its stake them out of a public building where all Murcia landowners an open session unfolded, simply in order to divert attention from the real issues surrounding the management of the current directive, yesterday agreed to grant full powers to the nine members of the Representative Committee of the Board of Landowners to proceed with the sale of 20% of the water of the Huerta de Murcia, amounting to 12 million m3, which will probably end being bought at 16 cents to the irrigators m3 assumptions Mazarron and Aguilas.
The sale of the inherent rights that flow to each of our gardens we are, can not be carried out without being reflected in the agenda, to be announced in advance to all irrigators in the Huerta de Murcia, and explicitly stating those areas that will see undermined its flow and how much and the exact amount to be paid for it and what is going to spend these funds.
A decision of this draft, taken perhaps the most important in the history of the Juntamentos, can not be taken for less than 100 landowners of more than 20,000 as part of the General Community of Irrigators, but must be announced to all and each of the points of the Huerta, duly informing each landowner.
Considering also that what is put on the table is the survival of the Huerta de Murcia, who swindled for years with speculation, now want to strip what keeps it alive, which is the irrigation water.
One question that goes beyond the Community Irrigation, affecting all Murcia who love this Orchard and appreciate their scenic, cultural and environmental values.
The use of violence to quell the voices contrary to the policy of the Board of Landowners, can never be the tool used in a public corporation should encourage participation, free speech and sign their plurality.
The action carried out by representatives of our association has been all peaceful and symbolic moment, and has been answered by a disproportionate action, as you can see in the video and audio recordings of the local press, as well as numerous photographs .
From HUERMUR continue demanding democracy in the Board of Landowners, access to its documentation for any irrigator, transparency and strict adherence to the Ordinances and Customs and the Water Act in decision-making, and the restoration of normal functioning Council of Wise Men.
Our association reserves the right to defend its actions before any court as appropriate as well as the image and work of each of our partners, which moves them to the defense of Huerta, irrigation and legality.
In Murcia, March 14, two thousand and fourteen.
