Proclamation of the Mayor in relation to the demonstration in defense of Diversion (17/03/2009)

ALL MURCIANO

SIDE OF THE MAYOR

The Congress of Deputies is in the process of amending the Statute of Autonomy of Castilla-La Mancha, for carrying out the terms under which it arises, will be eliminated from the Tajo-Segura and hydraulic contributions are vital not only for agriculture but for our daily supply.

The situation is very serious.

This shift will also lose the loss of 147,500 hectares and the gross added value of 3,720 million euros a year, and unemployment increased by 100,000 people and the shortage of water resources, including for the supply of the population.

Faced with this unilateral attempt to change the Tajo-Segura aqueduct broadly agreed with Spanish society and guaranteeing the basic needs of Murcia, we can not remain indifferent and we firmly demand the water we need, respect for our rights acquired and the cessation of any decision that adversely affects social, economic and environmental Murcia.

Murcia institutions have already asked the National Government the suspension of any change affecting the current regime of the Tajo-Segura, and our need for transfers from other basins, including the Ebro, to supplement the water resources required for development and prosperity of Murcia and the Mediterranean.

Therefore, I appeal to the society of Murcia to strongly express our opposition to the attempt to take away the water which we are entitled, in defense of the Tajo-Segura and suggest that MURCIANO ALL EXPRESS OUR SUPPORT IN DEFENSE OF THE TRANSFER OF PIT-SAFE TRANSFER OF WATER AND FOR ALL.

LET IT BE KNOWN

FIRST

I urge all to come Murcia on Wednesday March 18, 2009, at 17.30 hours, the demonstration in Murcia by the Central Union of Irrigation Aqueduct Tajo-Segura on the Plaza Circular.

SECOND

FIFTH
