The autonomous government, which has led the Popular Party for 25 years, and which has never bet on equipping itself with the necessary means nor has seen in the environmental guarantees of these procedures anything other than an obstacle to economic activity, continues to dismantle national policy.
when it could have been an impulse to improve and modernize the regional productive fabric.The municipal group Podemos will take a motion in relation to the legislative changes approved in Murcia in environmental matters to the May plenary session for debate and approval."The Murcia Regional Administration has a competent, diversified and specialized technical team, but this has not been adequately endowed with sufficient human and material resources to carry out its task, and during the last ten years there has been a growing deterioration of the relationship between load and work demands on the one hand, and material capacity to meet them, until reaching a situation close to collapse, "says Ginés Ruiz, municipal spokesman for the training."While international environmental demands were expanding and diversifying, the regional government has been refusing to develop these instruments that guarantee better projects for our region and a better productive fabric, since they continue to see environmental procedures as an obstacle, a paperwork that must be lightened and simplify; unproductive bureaucracy ”, explains the spokesperson.It is a mistake to continue favoring short-term private benefits at the cost of eliminating a fundamental part of the existing environmental controls, which are already very insufficient.
"This irresponsible action, in addition to producing in practice a disregard for the obligation of public protection over health and the environment, can generate enormous legal uncertainty to the authorizations issued in force of this rule if, as seems likely, it could be appealed to the courts and repeat the history of judicial setbacks to the regional government's legal initiatives ”.From the training, they ensure that these measures harm "the ability of the municipalities to meet their new obligations, at a time when their resources are depleted by the COVID-19 crisis, and when the few or many resources they have must be mobilized to solve the ravages of said health crisis ”."We cannot allow the environment, Murcian society and the business community as a whole to suffer the consequences of the regional government's tendency to dismantle environmental policy," says Ginés Ruiz.The training conveys their concern and warns about the consequences for the situation in which the environmental procedures will be "now transferred to our municipality, without being accompanied by the material and personal resources necessary for their development."For all this, from the training they ask the plenary to urge the Regional Government to "demonstrate a greater commitment in its government action, which involves compliance with numerous pending obligations and the provision of the essential material and human resources to carry them out.
carried out, reducing the administrative collapse that has led to the set of environmental procedures that are its responsibility through the means of strengthening resources, not the elimination and / or relaxation of controls "
