"If the City Council of Totana wants to continue the process of approval of the General Urban Plan must change to protect undeveloped land with planning more than 6,000 hectares. (60 million meters), and eliminate or modify 20 of the sixties under planning agreements, say from COAG and APESE in a statement.
"This modification of the plan would mainly affect the environment of 1,000 mts. Espuña around, but also to the councils of Morti and environment of the Transfer and The Vineyards, La Huerta, Raiguero, Lebor, Norica and the salt marshes and even Guadalentín Paretón "they add.
According to the President of APESE (Owners Association Espuña Environment) and Cebag (Confederation of Employers of the Low Guadalentín), José Luis Hernández, "The proposed amendments to the environmental impact study are important and represent a radical substantial modification of the Plan, which alter the proposed regional model for what should be resubmitted for public information, and that probably many of the thousands affected by the amendment had no opportunity to respond before the Plan in its provisional form. "
According to Isidoro Cayuela (President of the Union of Farmers Under Guadalentín - COAG) "We will hold a meeting tomorrow night at the headquarters of Cebag to inform those affected.
But what some have clear is that if to compensate for negative environmental impacts of the developments they want to use as currency to protect farmers' fields, we will not agree.
And if by now there were 14,000 more claims.
Because the only alternative to this crazy plan and polluted at source is to put in the drawer and start another plan from scratch with the consensus of all political and social forces. "
