The mayor of the PP said that it is a "vital" infrastructure, whose project "was written by the CHS itself, so that now it is not understood that the Ministry wants to stop it."
The project has the unanimous support of the Plenary Session of the City of Murcia.
The Councilor for Sustainable Development and Huerta, Antonio Navarro, said today, after the meeting held with representatives of the Segura Hydrographic Confederation that "if the districts of the North of Murcia are flooded again for the areas of Espinardo, Churra, Cabezo de Torres, etc., the responsibility will fall on the Ministry of Ecological Transition of the Government of Spain. "
The mayor of Murcia made these statements after concluding the meeting between the mayor José Ballesta and the president of the CHS, Mario Urrea, in which from the City Council of Murcia insisted on the need to expedite the bidding and awarding of this infrastructure "vital for the Murcia, "whose project" was written by the CHS itself, so that now it is not understood that the Ministry wants to stop it against the technical criteria that motivated its writing. "
"We are facing a problem that occurs systematically two or three times a year in the municipality of Murcia and that is motivated by the lack of infrastructure," reiterated Navarro, who stressed that "the execution of the works of the Pluviales Oeste Interceptor Collector is a project that has the unanimous support of the Plenary Session of the City of Murcia, backed by the different motions that have been approved in recent years. "
"We are aware that there is a real risk for the safety and integrity of Murcia every time there are moderate episodes of rain in this area; a danger that the Ministry cannot turn its back on," said the mayor, who demanded Government assume its responsibility and prioritize the infrastructure that would end the problems of overflow of ramblas and their consequent floods in the northern part of the city.
