The socialist candidate for the Mayor of Murcia, José Antonio Serrano, met this morning with the heads of the Board of Landowners, to whom he proposes a collaboration "side by side, which will allow us to reach definitively the full recovery of our historic irrigation network with its ditches, azarbes and including the "quijeros", infrastructures that are the responsibility of the Board of Landowners.
For Serrano, it is about "involving all of us, administrations, agencies and citizen groups, in a heritage that is a real luxury, unique in the world, and for which we will seek funding where necessary, the Government of the nation and European funds , because it is time to execute an ambitious and realistic action plan ".
The socialist candidate has indicated that "it is unimaginable that at this time we can build a network like the one we have in use, a magnificent infrastructure of a thousand years ago, which will be a new revulsive for our economy and employment, much more of what has been so far. "
Serrano said that this plan of action must include all buildings, "mainly, semi-destroyed mills whose rehabilitation has been promised so many times, as well as the wheels", and clarified that "for the PSOE this project is of such dimension and we believe that it is so necessary that it can not be led by an administration, but that we must have the complicity of all. "
Also, the candidate, who has been accompanied at the meeting of Councilman Enrique Ayuso, explained that "this project is not a new initiative, but the Municipal Socialist Group has claimed and proposed several times throughout this mandate the recovery of mills and ditches, which, for the value they have are in a state that leaves much to be desired. "
Bad smells, dirt, leaks and abandonment is the constant complaint of the situation of many ditches and hazards.
"These denunciations should disappear from the news of our municipality and start talking about a network of irrigation recovered and admired inside and outside of Murcia, so we will also achieve the enhancement of our garden," Serrano said, adding that , "as I have said on occasion, we are privileged to have a heritage that defines us and identifies us as Murcia."
