The IU-Greens spokesman in Murcia, Esther Herguedas, today criticized the "opportunism" with which the City is willing to nominate the Sierras and Campo de Murcia for its declaration as a Biosphere reserve by the UNESCO, under the title "The Owl Country."
Herguedas has said the government team, the PP has made this presentation a surprise, no information or prior agreement, but the choice of this type of application and the time "does not seem casual at this point because just met both Supreme Court ruling as the Constitutional Court ruling involving a blow to the Popular Party policy by deprotection of natural spaces. "
Herguedas recalls that the Supreme Court sentence that has buildable land protected by their attachment to the land for development, a practice that continues to make the city of Murcia, the judgment of the Constitutional us back almost 5000 hectares of Regional Park People's Party had unprotected through of the Land Act.
"Hopefully, the bid succeed, Herguedas-stated-because these natural areas are exceptional," but the show of their defense by those who have worked for more deterioration seems a complete irony. "
According to the mayor, "if these spaces have been saved from politics altogether developable by the PP has been enjoying specific protection at European level and working pressure from environmental groups and conservationists, not for the work of our administrations.
Herguedas has recommended the City Council and the Autonomous Community that instead of expensive advertising campaigns promoting matching means to enforce both judgments, reviewing all actions contrary to them as IU has been asking for years and for final approval of the Plan of Arrangement Natural Resources (PORN) Regional Park, an instrument that should have been adopted 19 years ago and is now paralyzed by lack of political will and ensure the effective self protection.
