The secretary general of the PSOE in Lorca, Diego Ferra, said today that the modernization of irrigation of Tercia "will succeed" and that commitment is a "sign" of the Ministry of Environment, Rural and Marine Environment and the River Basin Segura, "which is working on this target" by the Community of Irrigators Lorca.

Ferrer said the project, already approved, is "pending budget" and that the crisis affecting the country has caused "some delay" in the beginning of its implementation.

However, the Socialist leader said that the intention of the government of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero is to finish the term "with one hundred percent of the modernization of irrigation of Lorca finished."

In that sense, Ferra recalled that the modernization of irrigation works in the garden of Lorca began during the governments of Felipe González.

Then, during the eight years in which Aznar and the Popular Party ruled from La Moncloa "in our town not spent a single euro in this matter and not a single hectare modernized since the plans were kept in a drawer where were left to gather dust. "

It is after the arrival of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero to the Government of Spain, when dusted and invested projects, in just six years, more than 100 million euros to carry out modernization projects Cazalla, Tamarchete and Marchena, which account for 50% of traditional irrigation.
