Esther Herguedas: "We can have a side but it is possible that we run out of the garden"

The head of the list of Podemos Podemos to the Congress for the Region of Murcia, Javier Sánchez Serna, has said that today is a day to "feel proud and proud of our cultural, environmental and landscape heritage", but also a day to claim protection of the Murcian garden.

Sanchez Serna, who has made these statements from a barrack dressed in the traditional huertano suit, has explained that United We can bet on the defense of the values ​​of the garden against the policy of the PP, which "has mistreated in recent years of systematic form ", turning part of the fertile soil into" a cement plain ".

The candidate has pointed out that to value the Murcian garden, the modification of the General Plan of Urban Planning (PGOU) is necessary, since the current one has transformed this natural space "into a plot", as well as ensuring the maintenance of the small family farm and sustainable agriculture.

This has joined the importance of boosting the demand for quality products from the garden through short marketing channels, thus benefiting small farmers, and the recovery of the cultural and intangible heritage of the Murcian garden.

"For example, with the lowering of the property's IBI that is in private hands and promoting its recovery", added Sanchez Serna, for whom the fundamental thing is "in short, to value our garden not only as an identity element of all Murcia and Murcia, but as a model for the future ".

In this sense, he assured that "the garden can be, if we take care of it, a brake against desertification and climate change in the Region of Murcia".

In the same vein as the head of the list, the number 2 of Unidas Podemos, Esther Herguedas, has claimed the festive character of the day today, but also of "vindication of the garden and its future", and the protection of the associated with this space, such as the acequias network or the mills.

For Herguedas, "an important part of the garden is being lost" and from Unidas Podemos "we believe that the recovery of it must take place, on the one hand, for reasons of social need to recover our territory but also for an ecological reason".

"This space can not be replaced by the brick", the candidate has added, after which she has proposed the creation of a seal of quality of the products of the garden of Murcia that shows the support of the institutions to the values ​​of this part of Murcia's heritage.

It is, in the words of Herguedas, to celebrate today as a party but, at the same time, "remember that we can have a side but it is possible that we run out of food" and that is why its protection is so necessary.
