Agrarian organization is disappointed by "the absence of Juan Pagan in the acts of the Conference of the grape" and dismisses his attitude "for not wanting to listen to farmers" who gathered on Tuesday and Thursday this week.
From the farmers' union, are surprised by the attitude of the representatives of the authorities concerned, which "have not attended any of the days of the grapes in the hall, avoiding in this way that they can convey the feeling of the majority grape producers Sunday of this municipality. "
Coag says that "the intention of yesterday afternoon was to listen or express the rapporteur, representative of the Ministry, which was scheduled later Tuesday to explain the functions of the DO and for reasons unknown to cancel his speech, so that the farmers left the room meetings and were concentrated at the gates of the Consistory. "
They say that "this attitude is not going to change its position and will fight for the DOP of the grapes is not politicized."
Remember that "the union's legal services have challenged the appointment finger grape Control Board, appointed by the Minister" and insist that "all we want is that it supports the proposal that was made at the time and lay down their his attitude. "
They add that "in the meeting held on Monday, speaking in her Peter D. Lenci, Regional Coag president later agreed to give 48 hours for the council of agriculture, Juan Pagán submit his resignation as President of the DOP to counselor, believing that "the permanence of the council without leaving your office, is paralyzing and boycotting the proper functioning of the PDO."
Regarding the first agricultural fair in Totana, which begins today, Isidoro Cayuela, president of IR COAG Totana, believes "a fair field product is not organized in a few days, but requires a process of preparation with involvement and input of partners in production and crop and livestock marketing, we believe that an agricultural fair not only to houses, exhibitions, paella and folklore but also is contacting buyers of our products, both Spain in Europe, because we believe that the products we have here we can not sell all in Spain. "
It adds that "we would have really liked to have attended" meetings "organizing this event to have contributed ideas and participate in the development of it. We believe that these local events are not just a few."
Finally, from Coag remember that "this afternoon grape growers are expected to attend the inauguration of the Agricultural Fair, which was proposed at the time by Coag, and it will explain their disagreement about the politicization of the DOP of the grape and protest the waste of holding an agricultural fair with paella, folklore and horses for all. "
According means the President of Coag, Isidoro Cayuela "We have serious doubts that the fair folk help promote or sell our products better was the main purpose of our proposal in principle."
