The municipal group Cieza IU-Green has written to the Directorate General of Industry, Energy and Mines to urge the granting no hydrocarbons research permit called "Aquarius" requested by the corporation Gas and Oil Capital SL The reasons given are the high risk of contamination of water, surface and underground Segura Basin and implications for the environment, the health of the population and the regional economy would entail the use of the technique of fracking in this exploitation.

As recalled José Eduardo Illueca Councilman IU-Greens in the city of Cieza, "this would be the fifth and granted permission for the investigation of the existence of hydrocarbons in the subsurface of the Region of Murcia, as there are already four more authorizations granted in some cases, the beneficiary companies have already started the research. "

For ciezanos ecosocialistas, "make way for these research projects involving subsurface drilling by fracking technique is a political mistake of large dimensions, one attributable irresponsibility to which authorizations have been granted and which, unfortunately, when this check it and there is no way to correct it. "

Furthermore, Illueca remembers "these permissions have been granted citizenship back and against many social sectors have called for active and passive fracking technique was not used in the Region of Murcia, so once again we have to endure that people who govern us desoigan people who voted them and have put them in their place. "

Locally Councilman left "criticizes the Mayor of Cieza and Environment Department of passivity and obedience to their regional superiors who have shown to this issue, rejecting the proposal submitted in full by IU-Greens to declare Cieza town Free fracking, arguing that while the damage caused to not oppose the use of this technique "is not showing.

Moreover, Illueca believes that "this technique involves risks (groundwater contamination, air pollution, damage to health and agricultural activity, or seismic hazards, etc.) have already been demonstrated objectively in other places where it leads used for decades, and the United States, and are not assumable; do not understand why we have to wait for them to play in our own surroundings if you already know them and there is evidence about it except from a political position that wields power not in the public interest but in the interest of economic well-defined and specific interests of certain special subjects. "

But, warns the council, "when political representatives they forget who they represent, that is, when in power that the sovereign people delegate them to the dictates of other sovereign who hide in the shadows, they end up suffering the democratic punishment the ballot box. "
