Before the Supreme Court ruling that residents of the Granada Path of Murcia has published this morning, where the high court has annulled the amendment No. 50 of the land-use planning of Murcia, the Association for the Conservation of Huerta de Murcia congratulates these neighbors, whose effort, money and struggle has managed, after 12 years, a "landmark ruling in favor of the Huerta de Murcia and against the overwhelming urbanism defended by the City and the region.

Since HUERMUR highlight the importance of this ruling of the Supreme, final and without-recourse by either party, where the historical demand of neighbors who, without any public assistance or support, have maintained the defense of the landscape is recognized in Court the traditional way of life, and the protection of soil orchard of high environmental value.

For HUERMUR association, the sentence is to make amends to the sweeping policy Huerta that the City and the Autonomous Community have been developed in the last 20 years, administrations have left unprotected the most important ground we have in Murcia, the traditional garden, allowing raze through an impersonal and aberrant planning, from a landscape point of view, equity and social.

Remember that in dealing with this amendment No. 50 of the General Urban Plan, now declared void by the Supreme Court intervened some politicians who now have the highest responsibility in the city of Murcia, and also with other who they are involved in various cases of alleged planning corruption.

To HUERMUR, these same politicians were those who filled the mouth talking about the garden, its protection and conservation, do not have any credibility to it, as are those who, by action or omission, allowed a urban development now outlawed, planted a mass of towers horrendous buildings should be retained only where the traditional landscape of the Huerta de Murcia, with family homes and plantations of fruits and vegetables.

Similarly, from HUERMUR we want to emphasize our solidarity with the families of more than 1,000 young Murcia that from good faith and with the intention to build their homes, bought their homes in this area, but they have seen as a disastrous governance coupled with speculative eagerness of a few, has finally left out of urban planning their houses, which never had to be raised in this area, according fails the Supreme Court, but without infringing the urban planning could have been carried out in other areas of the municipality.

This modification of the General Plan, which involves the automatic cancellation of all subsequent performances in the area, including building permits, leaving these families in a situation of helplessness and lack of legal certainty and creating an unfortunate situation that would not have occurred with a government responsible and acting within the law.

We hope that the city of Murcia and the Autonomous Community comply with and abide by this ruling, not downplaying or trying to follow the same urban model, which has been shown not only failed, but also outlawed.

Any attempt to continue to expand this development or promoting new projects in this way, will end in the same way that amendment No. 50, so from HUERMUR urge all concerned to return to the path of law and compliance current regulations.
