Win Totana denounces the harmful measures taken by the Central Government in matters of water that will affect thousands of farmers (02/10/2017)

By resolution dated June 2017, the Directorate General for Water published "the new tariffs for the use of the Tajo-Segura aqueduct", which were previously approved by the Council of Ministers and are as follows: Fixed operating expenses from € 0.012130 in 2014 to € 0.016321 in 2017. And the variable operating expenses increase from € 0.069800 in 2014 to € 0.087308 in 2017.

"From Ganar Totana we denounce the harmful measures taken by the Central Government in matters of water that will affect thousands of farmers who have been suffering for years the lack of water to irrigate their crops and the price rises, frosts and heat which have ruined crops and forcing many farmers to abandon their crops and their labor. "

Already in July, farmers in the Region of Murcia showed their concern about the lack of irrigation water, when they claimed that 90% of the flow had already been consumed.

All of this causes a dramatic situation for small and medium-sized farmers, who both for the producer prices below costs and for the lack of water that ensures the irrigation of existing productions until the end of the year are the reflection of the agony and desolation that lives the countryside Murcia.

We must not forget that in our municipality the primary sector, agriculture and livestock, is the livelihood of thousands of families both directly and indirectly, as well as an important economic engine that offers many jobs.

"Given this serious situation that the farmers live, we see as from the Government of the Popular Party, it becomes even more difficult the work of thousands of families who live from agriculture and who see as the work of their entire lives and their future is put in grave danger. "

We demand that the Regional Government work to solve the problems of our farmers and demand that their colleagues in Madrid revoke the unjust measures recently adopted that are an ax to a sector that already suffers too much punishment and that is vital for the Murcia economy. "
