The residents of La Union and Gorguel called for next Sunday 12 December a concentration in the old market square of La Union, to demand the immediate implementation of the regeneration of the bay of Portman and the resounding rejection of the installation of a container dock in the Gorguel.
Various social and environmental associations of the Region of Murcia support this merger.
Neighborhood associations convened a concentration at 12.00 am in the old market square of La Union to demand the immediate implementation of the regeneration of the bay of Portman and the resounding rejection of the installation of a container dock the Gorguel.
This concentration, which clearly shows the position of civil society in the Region of Murcia to the unsustainable and shocking in the container terminal Gorguel and social justice that must be met without further delay with the people of Portman, joined the many activities and demonstrations that are carried out in recent months by neighbors and social and environmental associations.
Ecologists in Action, along with other associations, has joined the protests, which reaffirms the incompatibility between the two performances, and, together with the neighbors, call the Port Authority of Cartagena to discard the unsustainable, unnecessary and impressive project Macropuerto in El Gorguel, and to perform an analysis of real alternatives and a justification of the economic and social situation that supposedly would make up for this basin.
It also requires regeneration of the bay of Portman and entirely legitimate discussion of compatibility with the completion of a rigorous analysis of competition between projects, as indicated by either the Ministry of Environment, Rural and Marine the recent report that indicates the requirements to be included in the implementation of Environmental Sustainability Report of the new dock in Cartagena.
The government must ensure the needs of the society they represent.
Therefore, to projects of this size, public opinion is an important factor and should be decisive when making project decisions that may have an impact on natural resources which may compromise our future and that of future generations.
In this case the company's position is clear, and will fight in the street and in all regional and state administrations as well in Europe, for the proposed container terminal is not installed in place of Gorguel valuable.
For the Port Authority of Cartagena and the Regional Government for its refusal to listen to this project, and the historical demand of the regeneration of the Portman Bay.
Therefore, the company invites all to attend next Sunday at 12:00 at this concentration in La Union, and that adds to the demand for construction not to the container docks in the Gorguel! ! If the regeneration of the bay of Portman!
