The Full Council of Lorca unanimously adopted a motion of the Municipal People in requesting the Government of Spain to withdraw the decree which reduced by 30% aid for solar energy production.

Morales explained that the change in legislation sponsored by the Socialist Party is a serious injury to more than 4,000 investors in the municipality and shall entail loss of 500 jobs.

In this regard, the Corporation expressed support for the initiative of the Regional Government to file a constitutional complaint regarding the above mentioned Decree Law 14/2010.

Finally, the motion requires the Central Government that the new regulations governing the field of solar energy in Spain complies with specific Community legislation, as the Spanish government to ensure that any reform should give investors a stable environment, avoiding retroactive changes of the conditions.
