The Municipal Socialist Party spokesman in the city of Lorca, Manuel Soler Miras believes that "the situation being experienced today pig farmers is not adequate to raise the IBI by about 1500%" and, according reports, "shall apply in 2015".

Socialist spokesman said that "to date, only farmers paid this tax for the land occupied by the farm and with the new conditions, from now also pay for construction" Miras .Soler warning that "the new IBI will cause havoc in the sector; a farm built 25 or 30 years ago and able to pay a thousand heads between 800-1000 euros a year. "

In this sense, the Socialist spokesman said that "the City is not required to implement such a high tax for constructions, especially when farmers what they need now is support from the government and no more sticks as they were coming" .

"Most of the ships existing pigs in Lorca are family farms that are integrated, so if today the livestock owner loses money, the owner of the buildings and farm worker will be difficult for him repercussions the tax increase, "says Manuel Soler.

In addition, the Speaker of the Socialist Group adds that "the pig is undergoing a dramatic fall in prices by the veto imposed by Russia on meat exports from the EU are made to that country. This has caused some stockades in markets that contributed to the collapse in prices. Only six months, the price of pork has fallen around € 0.30 per kg of live weight. Currently the price is 1.04 € / Kg, so farmers are enduring a loss of between 12-14 euros per head. "
