Note from PSOE:

The secretary general of the Socialist Lorca, Diego Ferra, expressed his satisfaction with the visit yesterday to Lorca's Secretary of State for Rural Water, Josep Puxeu, who attended a meeting with farmers Lorca.

Puxeu was expected to attend the opening ceremony of the works of modernization of irrigation de Marchena, however, alert to fire danger facing the country, necessitated the presence of the Secretary of State in the coordination committee set up to effect between the ministries of the Presidency, Interior, Defence and Environment and Rural and Marine Affairs.

However, it concluded, Puxeu expressly traveled from Madrid to meet farmers and discuss with them Lorca major projects in the sector locally.

In that sense, the Community of Irrigators and the PSOE, called for the acceleration of the modernization of irrigation works in Tercia, in which the Ministry will invest around 23 million euros and that will complete the project begun in 2005 by Spain's socialist government for the garden Lorca.

Puxeu said that the beginning of the rule is "almost immediately", reaffirming its commitment to the project he called "emblematic" and "extremely necessary" for Agriculture in Sun City

In these four years, the government of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero has executed investments worth a hundred million euros in the field of Lorca, the highest figure ever in the region.

Puxeu also discussed the future desalination Guadalentín, under construction, where the socialist executive will invest 239 million euros.

On completion of the works in 2010, Lorca hectometres receive 25 per year, of which 9 are for traditional irrigation and 16 to the consolidated.

At this point, the secretary general of the Socialist Lorca Puxeu took to remember the need to build a connection that would allow the desalinated water from the reservoir of 100,000 cubic meters to be built in the 'Cerro Colorao' in the hamlet of Listening, with the Casa Mata.

The aim is to mix this water with that from the Tajo-Segura, and lower costs to farmers as well.

For this proposal, made last December by Ferrer himself, Secretary of State also expressed full readiness.

Jódar absent

As the only downside of the day, Ferra regretted the absence of the PP mayor, Francisco Jódar the meeting.

In this regard, said Jódar "re not living up to his office" and demonstrates his advocacy of Agriculture lorquina is "lip service."

He said that "yesterday should have been with farmers, promoting a good understanding and collaboration with the Government of Spain because it is essential to solving the problems of our field."

Therefore need to be criticized the PSOE, who, from the opposition, is leading, along with Lorca Irrigation Community, the major immediate projects for the sector.
