- Alicia Morales stresses that this statement from the CHS "again highlights that the approach of the pharaonic project Murcia River, in Ballesta, is not what Murcia needs. Great works are being planned in the river channels where the priority is that Murcia enjoy a safe with the highest environmental and ecological level "

NOW MURCIA demands that the City Council ensure that any activity carried out on the river Segura as it passes through the city does not pose any health risk.

The spokeswoman of the municipal group, Alicia Morales, denounces "the irresponsibility" of Ballesta to organize activities in the Segura "without being guaranteed that its waters pose no risk whatsoever."

The declarations of the councilor are motivated after the recognition by the Hydrographic Confederation of the Segura (CHS) that the waters of the Segura are not enabled for the bath as it passes through the city.

"The City should not be organizing activities in the river without having been 100% sure that what is being organized can not pose a risk to the health of the participants," he says.

"Ballesta is creating the false and dangerous belief that we have a river where we can do activities with full guarantees that it does not pose any health risk, when it is not guaranteed. It seems that no one from the Government team stops to think if it can have consequences. "

Morales stresses that this statement from the CHS "again highlights that the approach of the Pharaonic project Murcia River, Ballesta, is not what Murcia needs. Great works are being planned in the river channels when the priority is that the Murcia enjoy a safe with the highest environmental and ecological level. "

The mayor also points to the lack of transparency of the municipal PP: "We are already concerned about the situation of the waters of the river as it passes through the city exactly two years ago," said the mayor, "asking Councilman Pacheco copy of the analyzes of the river as it passes through Murcia and the permits for the activities that were being carried out in the Segura at the September fair, as well as technical reports, safety reports and documentation of the environmental condition. information and has already passed that fair, the one of 2016 and we are in the one of 2017 ".

The councilwoman explains that the fact that the Segura during its passage through the city is not enabled for the bath "implies that they are not doing the analyzes of the specific waters - much more exhaustive - necessary when the bath and the activities are allowed" .

In this sense, Morales recalls that in the Segura, as they pass through Murcia, activities are held in their waters, such as boat trips, and that these activities are "even more frequent at the September fair."

Morales requests that the Government of Ballesta "act with greater transparency regarding the river Segura, the quality of its waters and the activities that take place in them. This is a very serious issue, since it has to do with the health of the Therefore, the City Council, the Autonomous Community and the CHS are obliged to take all necessary measures to fully guarantee the health of the Murcia and Murcia.
