Since last Friday, the town of Teulada Moraira has been in the news, even nationally, by becoming the first municipality in Spain to run out of drinking water for its citizens. Faced with this crisis, as stated by Compromís, "the Valencian PP has been forced to intervene due to the silence and lack of management of the municipal government led by the popular Raul Llobell, who, a week after the declaration, has still not "no urgent measures have been taken to mitigate the crisis affecting the municipality."
Carlos Mazón met at the Municipality of Teulada "to announce water and agricultural solutions that, until now, the local government has not been able to manage. This is a demonstration of how the Valencian PP tries to solve serious problems with headlines without real effectiveness," criticises the Valencian party.
This visit had as its main focus a meeting with local farmers, who are experiencing the worst harvest season in history, with almost total losses in production; «This fact is aggravated by the lack of public subsidies and the support of the Minister of Agriculture. It is worth remembering that, as of May 30, the budget execution of this department did not reach 10% and, what is more serious, the payment of subsidies to the countryside is 0 euros. Once again, we have been the ones who have provided solutions with a proposal of 500.000 euros for local farmers, approved by the entire corporation," they say from Compromís.
With the deputy of the Marina Alta Gerard Fullana and the spokesperson for the Teulada Moraira municipal group Rosa Vila at the helm “we expected more from this visit. Unfortunately, the president of the Generalitat has come with only one objective: to try to save the public image of the mayor of Teulada Moraira. Solutions have been promised that have been promised since the beginning of the government, but that never arrive. It is unusual to hear Raul Llobell blame the Botánico government for the drought that affects the fields and citizens of Teulada Moraira, just as it is indecent to hear Mazón talk about the need to implement a ban on the sale of food at loss. agricultural after having voted against it in Congress.
Gerard Fullana has stated that "there has been talk about Pedro Sánchez, Puigdemont and investments for the year 2025, but not a single immediate measure other than praying to the gods for rain. All this has only one reason: for the PP, the people of the Marina are a hotel for friends to make money while the countryside dries up and people do not have drinking water due to the urban and tourist drift and the lack of water investments.
For her part, Rosa Vila has pointed out that “politics must be done from the bottom up. Today we expected Raul Llobell to put demands on the table; However, we have not obtained any solution. "A government that really thinks about its people would be leading a movement to demand real solutions from the Valencian and state governments."
For Compromís, future measures have been announced today, but none to solve the current problems. They ask the Consell for urgent measures to alleviate the current crisis immediately.
