Moreno calls for "discreet meetings" to seek "imaginative alternatives" in Doñana, such as the exchange of land

SEVILLA, 26 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The president of the Junta de Andalucía, Juanma Moreno, has been in favor this Wednesday of holding "discreet meetings" with the Government of the Nation to seek "imaginative alternatives" regarding the regularization of irrigation in the Doñana National Park -- to which the European Union has already made its rejection clear--, such as the exchange of land outside of what is known as the pre-park to the irrigators who demand to be legalized so that they can continue with their activity. This proposal has come from the former vice president of the Government and for years president of the Doñana Board of Trustees, the socialist Alfonso Guerra.

This has been stated by Moreno in an interview on Antena 3 Television, in which the Andalusian president has also claimed that the bill being processed by the Andalusian Parliament at the initiative of the PP -with an absolute majority- and Vox be "withdrawn from the debate political", while lamenting the "level of decibels and insults" reached around this proposal. He has criticized Sánchez "using" Doñana in a "torticous" way and as an "electoral strategy" for the municipal elections on May 28.

Faced with what he has described as "the silent response" by the Government of Pedro Sánchez to "negotiate alternatives" with which to "solve the problem" of irrigators "trapped in a certain legality", Juanma Moreno has insisted that "it is not can build the Park against the rejection of the population", defending, at this point, environmental protection with economic development. "A fine balance", she has said, for which she has asked for "discreet meetings" against what "the Government wants, that we cross our arms."

In addition to criticism for "not having done a single project in Andalusia in the last five years", the Andalusian president lamented that the Government of Spain "does not have a water policy" and recalled that "in 35 years - alluding to to the PSOE governments in the Junta de Andalucía--, have allowed disorders" in Doñana. "What we want is to order," he pointed out, remarking that the PP had the proposal to give away irrigation in the northern crown of the Park in its electoral program for the regional elections of 19J in which Moreno achieved a large absolute majority.

Finally, President Moreno has estimated the amount paid by the Andalusian Government in fines for dumping untreated water at around fifteen million "and there were no protests" then, he stressed. For this reason, he has demanded from Sánchez "not only aid but emergency works" to be able to attend to the drought and its effects, which in the Andalusian community already have figures: one point less than Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and up to 35,000 jobs lost.
