Andrés Pedreño, Regional Deputy, has indicated that a comprehensive strategy is necessary for the Sierra Minera that must include "mandatory, environmental responsibility of this company.
The problem is that the one who has to put the solution, the government of the PP, was precisely the one that repealed the territorial ordinance guidelines that pointed in this direction ".
Pedreño has explained that the residents of the Sierra Minera are in a situation of "maximum vulnerability to the contamination of heavy metals that floods their lives.
For that reason, from the public institutions we must protect them and avoid that exhibition continues unbridled as it has been until now ".
Regarding Prasam, the Plan of Action on Contaminated Soils, the deputy of Podemos has stressed that "it must have citizen participation if it wants to be effective.
People who see how toxic metals affect their daily lives should establish, together with scientists and technicians involved in the matter, what are the intervention priorities.
If not, we will see how the objectives of this Prasam are totally distorted. "
On the other hand, Andrés Pedreño has said that from Podemos we demand "a line of help from the regional government to rehabilitate the homes affected by saline efflorescence that are loaded with heavy metals.
A claim that will join a plan to remove asbestos that degrades in the old mining facilities or lies in the ramblas, lots, and other open spaces of the Sierra.
All this, said Pedreño, should have maximum transparency and dissemination possible since the residents of these towns must have "all the information of what is happening around them.
It is not fair that these people, who have been abandoned for decades, are facing a public health problem, of themselves and their loved ones and acquaintances, totally blind.
After years of neglecting these people, the government must do things right.
For this purpose, this commission has been created and these are part of our conclusions.
In this we will work and we will be vigilant from Podemos ".
