| For a Living Mar Menor refuses to build a hotel on the edge of the Salinas park | The name of the city says so "Pinatar." Where is the Pinatar? Disappeared under the concrete to promote tourism or give land to agribusiness.With the current economic crisis, Mayor Doña Visitación Martínez Martínez can think of no other genius than to study the folly of building another 5-star hotel.
Currently the town has plenty of hotels and vacation rentals, even in liquidation because nobody wants to come and bathe in the Mar Menor.But the most incongruous thing is that he values ??allowing this building in a Ramsar zone.
In other words, next to the salt flats of San Pedro del Pinatar, a refuge area for pink flamingos, chameleons, egrets ...
In other words, the idea is based on selling views of an idyllic environment to tourists who will see how it flees from this paradise as soon as they arrive ...But there is more genius in the project! It is planned to build this hotel next to the perimeter canal between the Edar and the San Pedro del Pinatar desalination plant.
It is planned to expand these two spill treatment structures to try to clean up the water from the Albujon agro-industry and the water table.
Any first-year career engineer knows that none of these buildings in the world have this water treatment capacity.
This extension itself is a waste of money.
Above all, the existing structures do not play their role correctly, considering the chlorine levels that we have verified by analyzing the canal water that carries contamination by filtration on Villananitos beach and the principle of eutrophication on Mojón beach.At this time, San Pedro Del Pinatar has an unemployment rate that exceeds 20%.
We urgently need jobs! But if we continue to invest in the same (agribusiness and mass tourism), what are we going to achieve? The same: poorly paid temporary jobs and it is not what we want, especially since tourism used to come through the Mar Menor and it does not have this anymore.The Councilor for Tourism, Doña Silvia Egea, proposed an appointment to address these issues in the networks, but after several attempts on our part we have not had a reply from her yet.Make no mistake: we are not the enemy.
We are your constituents who want to see again the splendor of the last century of your city.
And this path is not the one they are choosing.
We are the people and every day we speak and look at our people.
We see how every day there are more people walking along the beaches and fields than in the center of town, we see that every day there is more cultural offer that comes from private initiatives.
We see how the Benifayo Museum attracts more people every day.From her town, Doña Visitación part of the Popular Legislative Initiative for the Legal Personality of the Mar Menor.In her town, Doña Visitación, one hears more and more: "We need an environmental 155 in the Region of Murcia"His people change, change with him.For a Living Mar Menor
