Reason
Izquierda Unida, since its inception, has set its proposal on water in four areas: resource planning, demand management, encouraging savings and solidarity.
Resource planning from the perspective of State, through basin plans, thereby avoiding misuse and ensuring resource allocation mouth consumption, agriculture, industry and services.
Therefore, to make planning effective, has always understood that the management of rivers of Spain, which affected watersheds or ran for over an autonomous region, was the responsibility of central government, thereby making possible what is called unit basin.
The second concept: demand management has to do with the obligation of the authorities as a whole to share responsibility in the development model, in order that this does not result in policies to increase supply, and that this (new transfers ) u (new resources) implicitly includes a significant increase in consumption.
The pricing policy, control of agricultural and extension plans, the prosecution of illegal uses, the models for development, etc., Configure the tools for sustainable management of demand.
Encouraging savings is a clear sign of our proposal.
Savings in household consumption, with plans and measures consistent with the scarcity of the resource.
Savings in the sense that efficiencies involve the modernization of agriculture, which should not be directed to new irrigated acres (60,000 hectares of illegal irrigation in the region).
Reuse savings policies and industrial wastewater.
And solidarity, draining the benefits of planning, managing demand and encouraging savings, if a territory, whatever it is, has to be awarded, by real needs, to receive water from another basin.
Also in the water there should be solidarity.
At the time, UI has evolved into a more environmentalist who questioned the main element of historical resource assessment: the economy.
From United Left of the Murcia region, we have always been consistent and consistent with water policy UI.
So, about PHN approved by the PP government in 2000, this training, despite the high political cost, electoral and media posed in Murcia reject the Ebro, he did and kept it.
Over and above reasons antiambiental, economically inefficient, promoter here furious development, etc.
Our choice then was the general policy described in the beginning of this resolution and the maintenance of the Tajo-Segura.
Federal IU then endorsed that position, making it his own.
Currently, the PP in the Region of Murcia, electorally rich with the 'Water for All', has exported its Chair, as to use the issue of water policy.
In Castilla-La Mancha is also used water as an instrument of confrontation between territories, the vision was repeated in Murcia Valcárcel.
Parochial vision has triumphed, bell policy, which in water, promotes the emergence of opposing positions that ignore solidarity.
The passage in Parliament of Castilla-La Mancha for a new Statute of Autonomy which in various articles and provisions appropriated exclusive jurisdiction of the State, aimed at ending the Tajo-Segura is an unfortunate and predictable episode water war policy among regions, which have become profitable electorally in Murcia PP and PSOE in Castilla la Mancha, but that seriously endangers the economic structure of the Murcia region if that eventually consumed the expiration of the transfer or even if, not including the lapse, rises considerably, the booking volume header.
At this time, we are in the moment before the debate on the amendments to the Reform of the Statute of Castilla la Mancha, in Parliament.
Some of the amendments, they account, in fact, the end of the transfer, so we must organize the societal response to Murcia as harmful intentions, response, this time should be the response of the whole and not just a party.
Councilmember why IU + LV undersigned proposes to the plenary for discussion and approval of the following
AGREEMENTS:
The Plenum of the City of Murcia
Expresses its strong opposition to the closure of the Tajo-Segura to change its operating rules, to the alteration of Cuenca in Castilla-La Mancha, as well as changing the minimum reserve, or altering the current balance in the presence of autonomy in management and administration bodies of water.
Claims the constitutional right of citizens of the Region of Murcia to economic and social development would be cut sharply to the Tajo-Segura.
The impact of a hypothetical closing of the transfer on the immigrant population and the economically less advanced districts in the region, would no doubt pay a high price in the form of poverty and unemployment.
Ramón Luis Valcárcel ask and his party, the PP, and the President of Castilla la Mancha, José María Barreda, immediately cease its political strategy of electoral manipulation purposes the issue of water, once found that policies water fight, fueled by the top leaders of Murcia and Castilla-La Mancha, have not contributed in any way to find solutions, but have led to worsening relations between regions and have facilitated the emergence of discourses in both regions and unsupportive locations such as claiming the right to unlimited water and unsustainable speculative projects in Castilla La Mancha and Murcia.
We express our commitment to environmental policies.
We agree with the approach of the New Water Culture in terms of not creating new transfers and optimization of those transfers amortized and environmentally and economically, such as the Tajo-Segura
We are committed to policies for prosecuting illegal use of the extension of irrigation, water theft, new timbering, overexploitation of wells from unsustainable development model and reject the draft of the Segura river tubing.
We request that all social, political and regional significance citizens are part of a plural platform to defend the right to use the Tajo-Segura Aqueduct, led by the President of the Region of Murcia, has among its members with all political, social partners and agricultural organizations, in addition to the general public.
This platform must be convened by the President of the Region of Murcia and has to have among its tasks to organize and schedule as many demonstrations are needed to avoid devastating effect on the economy of the Region of Murcia would be the end of the input of Tajo-Segura.
