In the words of Piedad Abellán, Secretary General of Podemos-Cieza, "what we are seeing in the Mar Menor these days, with a massive mortality of species that horrifies us, must be qualified, without nuances, as a true ecological catastrophe."

Therefore, from the circle of the purple organization they wanted to add to the wave of outrage generated by the unbearable image of thousands of fish and other animals killed by suffocation in their own habitat, and transfer this feeling to the population along with the guarantee of absolute firmness of this organization when requesting responsibilities both in judicial and political headquarters.

Faced with the attempt to minimize the situation or to consider it as a punctual and exclusive consequence of the last floods, in Podemos they consider that it is another step in a long process of ecological degradation of the lagoon.

The massive mortality of species has possibly been influenced by the entry of huge amounts of fresh water, "but the contamination of sludge carried by pesticides, nitrates and other pollutants has certainly contributed to the abrupt depletion of oxygen and the environmental catastrophe. ".

In any case, "it will be the environmental prosecutor and the police who will investigate what happened, and we hope that these investigations will be carried to their final consequences," but "political responsibilities must be cleared immediately, so as not to generate citizenship. a feeling of total impunity. "

According to Piedad Abellán, the management of the territory around the Mar Menor "has been disastrous, if not criminal, from minute one and under governments of different political colors, although those of rights have predominated."

From the urban disaster of La Manga, with which the sad story of the destruction of the Mar Menor began, through a poorly controlled tourism development and the stimulus to an agricultural model, in the plains near the lagoon, unsustainable and incompatible with the preservation of its rich ecosystems, "the history of the Mar Menor is summed up in a political management folded to private and private economic interests and unintended to seek solutions from an environmental sustainability perspective to the serious problems of coexistence of this lagoon with the activities economic in its surroundings ".

In the end, "this perverse management is ending by killing the hen of the golden eggs and, right now, the survival of the Mar Menor is in doubt."

Although management errors are old, "the situation exploded under the previous government of the Popular Party, now reissued in the version of coalition with Citizens, and measures decided to bravely tackling the courage have not been implemented situation, due to political responsibility, President López Miras, given the facts we witness with pain these days, should immediately resign.
