MADRID, 14 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The general coordinator of the PP, Elías Bendodo, has accused Pedro Sánchez of “acting in bad faith or being undocumented” for his criticism of the Andalusian law to legalize irrigation in the surroundings of the Doñana National Park.
“The PSOE spent 40 years in the Junta de Andalucía and with Doñana it did not make its best efforts, but activated two ecological bombs when trying to establish, on the one hand, a gas warehouse and, on the other, that the oil pipeline that came from Extremadura crossed the park. That was tried by the socialist government on the Junta, which is no longer there,” Bendodo argued in an interview on Onda Cero collected by Europa Press.
For the popular leader, the PSOE is trying to carry out “electoralism with a hoax”, so “either it does not have all the information or it acts in bad faith”, because, as it has been added, “irrigated lands are not in the park, they are 30 kilometers”.
Likewise, he added that the illegal wells “have open files and are going to be penalized; the regulation protects the aquifer and what is being talked about is surface water” when asked about the bill that this Wednesday was admitted for processing in the Parliament of Andalusia to regularize nearly 800 hectares of irrigated land.
He has also reproached the Minister for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge, Teresa Ribera, for “insulting the Andalusians” and acting “inconsistently” by having authorized “six months ago the extraction of groundwater and new wells.”
“Believe me if I tell you that this is a ‘fake’, because we have come to regularize a situation of more than 10 years ago and in this case it does not affect the park, the aquifer is not touched, but what this law does is protect it” added Bendodo, for whom the PSOE intends to use Doñana for electoral purposes.
“We are six weeks away from the elections, socialism is in the doldrums and they don’t know how to enter, but entering is not cheating, it is lying and insulting the Andalusians by saying that we are a little corner of Spain”, concluded the general coordinator of the PP .
