In fact, the President Valcárcel made a call to Mayor House, in the presence of the Civic Platform, which informed him that he should stop burying the draft, which had begun processing the city of Murcia.
The Civic Platform shows greatly surprised and concerned that, despite the aforementioned telephone conversation between President and Mayor, the City of Murcia has approved this Wednesday Jan. 20, granting the drafting Villegas Construction Project reservoir Burial .
Given the continued manipulation, lack of coordination and absurdities of the various authorities concerned so far, the Civic Platform informed of its intention to continue its relentless protests and monitoring, as their demands are not met, beginning with the following:
