"I strongly oppose this exploitation to be installed, neither in the current location nor 50 kilometers further away. We do not want that farm near us"
The legal representatives of Cefusa are weighed in the installation of the farm in the absence of social consensus
Again this afternoon, the mayor of Yecla, Marcos Ortuño has headed the Yeclana delegation at the meeting that has been held with representatives of the company Cefusa in the town hall of the neighboring town of Montealegre.
Meeting in which Yecla has maintained a single opinion defended by the mayor, Marcos Ortuño and in which the legal representatives of the company have indicated the possibility that the company desist from the installation of the pig farm in Monte Arabí "I have ratified my position and the position of the vast majority of the people of Yecla: I do not want that farm in that location, not fifty kilometers away.
That farm I want very far from all of us. "
With these words, the mayor of all the towns and cities has made his position very clear on this subject.
"The representatives of the company should understand our position and not try to implement an installation that is not wanted by the Yeclanos" - continued Marcos Ortuño, who also has loaded the final responsibility in the Junta de Castilla - La Mancha.
"Let's not forget that the one who has the responsibility for this authorization is the La Mancha counseling.
They are the ones who have caused this problem by enabling the installation "-.
An administration to which the mayor of Yecla has wanted to send a message - "I ask the Castilian-La Mancha government to reconsider and be sensitive to the claims of the Yeclans in defense of the environment and of a cultural complex qualified by UNESCO as a heritage of the humanity ".
To conclude Marcos Ortuño wanted to congratulate the Platform for Defense of Mount Arabí for the great work they have been doing.
"It was necessary for a platform of this type to convey to the Yeclans this information that from the municipal level costs much more to communicate.
Congratulations on your work and your commitment to Yecla. "
In the same way the mayor of Yecla has announced that the legal actions undertaken by the City of Yecla continue and that the position of the consistory yeclano is firm and will continue in this way to maintain the mountains and aquifers yeclanos free of this exploitation.
