After positioning the Regulating Council of Denomination of Origin of Yecla warning of the danger that our town suffer the devastating effects of this practice, the socialist yeclanos requested in a motion that the City is positioned against these practices in our town.

Arguing the possible "economic development" and dubious "benefits" featuring gas extraction by hydraulic fracturing (fracking), the governing body of Marcos Ortuño in a display of political myopia voted last June 2013 against position against a practice of offering a genuine environmental catastrophe for Yecla and jeopardize its water;

This position also contradicts any that supports renewable energy and environment-friendly making clear what the bet Marcos Ortuño and PP, putting economic benefits to people and their health.

Recently the Regulating Council of Denomination of Origin of Yecla has warned of the risks of fracking, the possibility that take place in our municipality and the serious consequences that would entail.

We insist, the only doubt the remote possibility that the water we drink, the water that irrigate our crops can be CONTAMINATED already a risk that no politician in his right mind should take.

The possibility that our town will be affected by this practice seems to increase as the denominators have warned Advice Yecla and Jumilla.

For the Municipal Socialist Group Yecla Town Council, as happened with the issue of the quarry in the Sierra del Cuchillo, can not remain oblivious to the social alarm that is causing this problem.

In the plenary session in June 2013 the government team claimed the lack of time to know what the practice of fracking and its environmental and economic impact despite councilors have twelve full-time and released.

We believe that in a year they have had sufficient time to gather all the information necessary time and have proven that fracking will only negative consequences for all Yecla.

That is why we ask Marcos Ortuño and Councillor of Environment to support the motion Municipal Socialist Group for the next regular city requesting that the necessary steps be taken to declare our town "free town of fracking" and react and rectify Now you still have time and do not wait for that, as in the case of the quarry from Sierra del Cuchillo, neighbors and other opposition groups who take the initiative.
