The IU Verdes de Jumilla organization wants to express its satisfaction with the creation of a platform of opposition to the different projects for the implementation of macro-farms in the municipality of Jumilla.
As an organization, we were among the first entities to join this popular initiative and we will continue to support its members.
It is clear that the implementation of this type of intensive livestock farming is responsible wherever it has been installed for the contamination of aquifers, the ruin of traditional agricultural operations and the destruction of a significant number of jobs. However, we must remember, in line with the logical concern of citizens and the constant complaints in relation to bad odors that have been penetrating for months, even years in the urban area and its surroundings, that the origin of those odors or fly pests in summer are not (although it is related) macro farms.
On July 12 we already issued a press release in this regard On that occasion, as on others in recent years, we echoed the important environmental problem whose focus is perfectly located 3 kilometers west of the urban area, in the area of ??Loma de Hellín and Morrón.
The origin of this source of unhealthy conditions is none other than that which has continued to haunt the inhabitants of Jumilla until September without the Jumilla City Council having answered the many questions and calls for attention on the subject. We have not obtained any response or opinion on an environmental problem of such magnitude from the Councilor for the Environment or the Mayor's Office, an indifference that is unheard of given the barrage of complaints throughout the summer.
We are aware that the City Council is not primarily responsible for the situation, since it is the Autonomous Community that gives permission or authorization to operate the activity in question, but it can exert a lot of pressure and even bring the Autonomous Community itself to court.
to the alleged negligence in environmental matters. The truth is that while the City Council and the Autonomous Community remain silent and look the other way, Jumilla continues to face this source of diseases, suffering the effects of an activity, right next to its urban area, clearly overwhelmed and also related to the neighboring macro-farms, which could be failing to meet the minimum environmental requirements. We are very afraid that if the city council is going to continue showing the same laxity in the problem of macro-farms that it has maintained for years with this unhealthy activity, we will be facing a very dark future for our municipality. We ask that once and for all, this City Council reacts to a problem that it has under its nose, that it knows only too well, act as it should and that it make the autonomous community act as it should.
It is your responsibility and citizens are crying out for you to exercise it.
