Socialist Group statement:

The socialist municipal group has called this press conference to publicize to all citizens of Caravaca the penalty has been imposed on the City Council for final decision of last June, the Supreme Court, amounting to 60 million of the pesetas, ie € 360,000.

Let us briefly discuss what is the penalty in economic terms.

This penalty is rooted in some illegal dumping of sewage into the Argos from the old filter, so we are obliged to report these facts to all caravaqueños (finally after all this what we all pay) and likewise We believe in our duty to ask the appropriate explanations to the government team for the environmental damage caused and their consequences so far at hand.

Now just as the City is in a delicate economic situation, besides heavily indebted, is when we have to deal with this payment could be a possibility to draw unemployment, for instance, about 60 people in a position dramatic, because unfortunately, we already have, and with them to their corresponding 60 families, for about 6 months, or take a fairly significant investment to fix more streets and sidewalks, gardens or schools or districts Caravaca, and instead of do any of those actions, which are very important for our town, we find that we can do nothing about it for negligence and incompetence of the government team that directed the destinies of this county.

This whole thing comes as a result of what happened during the process that saw the construction of the current treatment plant (WWTP) of Caravaca, between 2000 and 2004, as a result of the state that had both the old treatment plant, located next to Argos (in the area of the train station), such as parishes still in service.

The CHS opened at least three administrative proceedings for discharge into public waterways contaminants exceeding allowable limits.

In these three cases, the thread is started in February 2004, after the investigations by the end of 2003 and resulted in the imposition of the fine mentioned in December of that year by the Council of Ministers.

The question here is why we propose the old treatment plant was left virtually abandoned Caravaca, for it was obsolete when it was not yet built and the new service, and therefore why the Argos was pouring untreated all this time .

This evidently confirms the final Judgement of the Supreme rejecting the administrative appeal filed by the City.

Also, if we see a photo of a flight of 2002 (www.cartomur.com) shows that most of the graves cylindrical settling its disposal, should be completely infilled sludge and therefore inoperative in the absence of maintenance.

Therefore, we ask that the Mayor or the current Town Planning Councillor, who also was at that time and appear and give the necessary explanations to the citizens of Caravaca, both the causes and origins of that penalty, as the consequences economic or budget adjustment for the City of Caravaca, explanations and responsibilities will also ask, if, at the next plenary municipal.
