This morning has been voted in the Regional Assembly a proposal to declare the Murcia territory free of fracking, initiative from IU-Greens "very positively valued because it represents a significant boost in the fight against the use of the fracking in our region. "

Councilman IU-Greens in Cieza, José Eduardo Illueca, who was present at the Assembly, along with other representatives of the platforms and anti-fracking groups in the region, has emphasized that "this declaration is a milestone historical, surely, but it's just also the beginning of a journey, the battle continues, since the declaration of the Regional Assembly, notwithstanding its importance, has itself legal value until there is no legislation or administrative acts materialize its content, and the position of the Popular Party has been clear in the intervention of his deputy, who has branded the proposal unconstitutional and we transacted between citizens and said that the use of fracking equals wealth and progress for the region " .

In fact, according to Illueca, "if the Popular Party abstained and did not vote against it was simply for fear of being found out to an increasingly concerned about, especially in areas affected citizens, but It has been one abstention that smelled clearly contrary position. "

"And the fight must go on" eco-socialist mayor insists "that the decisions taken today do not remain on paper and really necessary and sufficient efforts are made to ban fracking practices in our region and very important projects that are paralyzed There already granted. "

Councilman IU-Greens Cieza has wanted to use to "denounce the little information that is being offered from the region and the Ministry to the municipalities affected by the projects of hydraulic fracturing on evaluation studies and surveys that are being out ".

"We must continue working from the municipalities, from the platforms and from the whole society because we do not want fracking in our land, we do not want our waters contaminated, do not want our high quality crops lost prestige and value their productions, and we also incurred an intolerable seismic risk in the Northwest region. "

According Illueca, "the challenge is not easy but we must try because at stake is our welfare and our development in line with a healthy and sustainable environment."

The position of IU-Greens in this matter "has always been loud and clear, a 'No unconditional fracking', and in line with her organization has been working for shows, both in the municipalities and the region, and in this I sense we must remember that our former deputy, José Antonio Booming, and presented a very similar to this initiative, it agreed after the PSOE, which was rejected by the Popular Party in the previous legislature "

Therefore, "today we value the initiative taken by the Regional Assembly, indicating that something has moved in our society and this has forced the majority of political groups that make up today to say no to fracking in our region ".
