The Unión de Pequeños Agricultores y Ganaderos de Castilla-La Mancha has communicated the launch of several information assemblies in different municipalities in the Segura basin, in the province of Albacete, with the aim of analyzing the situation affecting about 500 well-extraction files of 7,000 cubic meters.
These meetings are convened after the meeting held by the general secretary of UPA Castilla-La Mancha, Julián Morcillo, with the president of the Confederación Hidrográfica del Segura, Mario Andrés Urrea, and the Water Commissioner, Ana María Arenas, in which the agricultural organization conveyed its rejection of more than 450 requests for well-extraction files of 7,000 cubic meters in the province of Albacete.
The first of these assemblies will be held in Montealegre del Castillo on Friday, November 13, starting at half past six in the evening, at the Casa de la Cultura, that is, from 18.30 hours.
Subsequently, it is planned to continue with new assemblies to provide information to the affected irrigators from other municipalities, including Ontur and Albatana, as well as other localities in the area.
The general secretary of UPA Castilla-La Mancha, Julián Morcillo, has denounced the situation that irrigators in the province are going through, denouncing “indefension,” and emphasizing the need to explain in detail the current circumstances. At the same time, UPA does not rule out the implementation of future union actions.
