The Union of Farmers and Ranchers Under Guadalentín (COAG) would recall that at the last Governing Board Park Espuña APESE COAG and opposed the demolition of barbecues on the Park Espuña in some cases They had built a few years ago with budgets of hundreds of thousands of euros for the demolition means that they can not use or summer and everyone can understand or in winter, although between October and March the risk of fire is minimal .
According Isidoro Cayuela, President of COAG "Though now just disappear barbecues Balsa Great, the intention of the Environment is you demolish them all, as is the case with other so used and emblematic as those located in the hamlet of Angel and Gryphon Nuns, in the vicinity of the Holy Shrine of Totana, which are within the Espuña Park ".
According Isidoro Cayuela "It is understandable to anyone who is barred from using barbecues in the summer fire risk. But it is very difficult to understand that the same engineers who have authorized a few years ago investment of several hundred thousand in some those barbecues, now intend to demolish, from an office intending to deprive thousands of people of Totana and environment Espuña and throughout the region, the public use of the Park Espuña and existing barbecues famous landmarks such as the tap or the Angel in La Santa, in November-December-January or February, preventing thousands of people without a home in the area, enjoy the surroundings of La Santa and Espuña Park, where dozens of thousands of people took part in the tradition and ritual of cooking paella or grilled thousands of thousands of kilos of meat, which now, by decree, is intended to convert in sandwiches, salads or cold food. "
"Meanwhile continuous it manifesting President COAG Lower Guadalentin expands to ten people catch gang firefighting Espuña Park. And four months after the initial summer operating the catch, extending the whole year, a cost around one hundred million pesetas, we paid our taxes all citizens. citizens and neighbors who are deprived of a traditional public use of the environment and of the Holy Espuña Park, for arbitrary decision of some leaders of the Environment and Engineers office to which you have gone smoke and who believe that the environment and the Holy Espuña Park is your particular farm. And nobody has the right to enjoy it as he has done the last hundred years. Certainly virtually no fire. "
"However, according to those same Isidoro Cayuela Environment Technical leaders who show such zeal to restrict the use and enjoyment of traditional Natural Park for all citizens, citing the excuse of fire risk, have put the blinkers and have covered the nose, to nauseating odors and discharges of sewage, irrigation with groundwater in agricultural crops La Santa, or serious and irreversible contamination of soil with chemicals and heavy metals, which have been produced and partly still are occurring by discharges of sewage from the sewage alleged Spaniel La Santa. Depuradora directed by the city of Totana, the consequences, smells and vegetation caused by these discharges, are noticeable by anyone who has visited or visit La Santa or has just happened or stop by the road to Aledo. "
He ends stating the President of the Lower Guadalentin COAG, that "these decisions and cover-ups of serious irregularities are responsible for the same engineers and managers Espuña Park that have been proven incompetent to avoid or at least compensate for the extensive damage that arruí Park and Reserve, are occurring in the last decade and especially in a year of raging drought like this, hundreds of farmers in the private cultivation of the interior and the environment Espuña Park. Same using everyone's money to design an advertising campaign that seeks to justify the elimination of barbecues and change the eating habits of thousands of visitors from La Santa and Park, convincing them that enjoy nature just eating food and cold drinks, under the slogan "eat with bad mood and not smoke. "To me it just occurs to me to answer that, as with the management so unfortunate they are doing with things like damage arruí and restricting public use and disposal barbecues and traditional foods in the vicinity of La Santa and Espuña Park;
are facing each day with more citizens and farmers to everything related to the park and the Environment, what it does is outraged and climb the fumes and get cranky "
