The Green Municipal Izquierda Unida-Group has filed a motion in Jumilla City Council to declare the municipality as insubordinate and opposed to TTIP (Treaty Transatlantic Trade and Investment).
Explained that this trade agreement between the European Union and the United States, is intended to direct people to a scenario of greater job insecurity, further endangering public health and the environment.
In the TTIP trade laws take precedence over any other social consideration, ignoring the current legislation.
They could dismantle public services, planning and policy adopted at the local or state level.
They list the consequences that could result Jumilla if this agreement is finally approved, such as the privatization of waste management and water distribution.
Food security would also be affected, since by allowing the use of GMOs in agriculture imperiled sustainable farming and organic farming quality.
You remember from IU-Greens more than three years ago he declared the municipality of Jumilla free fracking, but TTIP measures fracking is power and import of highly polluting products.
The wines of the Designation of Origin Jumilla wines would have to compete with other places like California, they would not comply with the same laws.
Varieties of almond and pear Ercolini would also be affected.
According to IU-Greens, the TTIP contradicts many of the interests of Jumilla, such as public services, industry and local employment and the universality of public services.
That is why openly show their rejection and require solutions and responses organized from the different local administrations.
They believe that trade and investment can only be beneficial if they are prioritized and respect human needs, and that not everything is worth any price.
They hope that the motion can be approved to further increase the pressure against TTIP and you can organize and mobilize the rest of municipalities to bury once and for all this time bomb that is the TTIP.
