Ciudad Real, Feb 1 (EFE) to defend the agreement reached with the Government regarding the Tagus Hydrological Plan.
García-Page, who has signed in Caracuel de Calatrava (Ciudad Real) the adhesion agreements of twelve Campo de Calatrava municipalities to the Manchega Plain Pipeline, which will be supplied with water from this infrastructure, has indicated that given the intention of If Valencia and Murcia appeal this agreement, the Junta de Castilla-La Mancha will maintain a line of defense for it.
“Yesterday I signed the instruction to the legal services for the Board to appear before the courts to defend the agreement that we have reached with the State,” he confirmed.
According to García-Page, “you have to be there until the last moment and of course know that what you achieve must be consolidated” and that, he has recognized, involves being attentive to any appeal that may be presented from any other autonomous community.
“There is nothing irreversible”, García-Page has warned, “so what we are doing here -in reference to this agreement to use resources for water supply from the Tajo-Segura Transfer-, then we must continue defending it until Let’s see the water here.”
He has expanded that “if one day they want to restrict us because we need more water and they do not want to give it to us, we will fight for it” because, he has insisted, “everything that is worthwhile in life must be fought for and we have fought this well”.
The regional president has also lamented the demagogy and foul play that exists around water in Spain and the temptation that continues to exist to pit one part of Spain against another.
“My ears hurt,” he said, from having to hear that they want to take away the water from the Levant “when for every hectare of irrigated land that we have here they have four”, and he has abounded: “We are not deceived, they have been able to develop a lot of irrigation in one of the driest areas of Spain and here we have not been able to do it ».
Here, the head of the regional Executive has regretted that he has been insulted and has been called a “cateto” for defending the water for Castilla-La Mancha and that from his own land political leaders of the PP have come to say that this issue “is a revelry and that all this is a lie, “he has sentenced.
