Maribel S\u00e1nchez Torregrosa<\/strong>, the national deputy of the PP by Almer\u00eda, has spoken out about the outcomes of the first two years of the current Central Government<\/strong> Legislature. During her recent statements, she asserted that the province of Almer\u00eda has been significantly impacted by the government’s concessions to its independence partners. This, in her view, has manifested in “constant water cuts and a paralysis of vital infrastructures that are essential for the future of Almer\u00eda.”<\/p>\n

The Impact of Water Cuts<\/h2>\n

S\u00e1nchez Torregrosa particularly criticized the recent reductions in the Tajo-Segura water transfer<\/strong>, stating that this decision jeopardizes the survival of the agricultural sector and threatens the economic stability of numerous families and farmers in Almer\u00eda. “In Almer\u00eda, we require water for drinking and essential agricultural needs. If Almer\u00eda lacks water, both Spain and Europe will face consequences,” she emphasized.<\/p>\n

Stagnation of Hydraulic Projects<\/h2>\n

The deputy voiced her frustrations over the standstill in crucial hydraulic projects. She highlighted the Bajo Almanzora I desalination plant<\/strong>, which, despite legal clearance in 2019 following devastating floods, remains entirely inactive. According to S\u00e1nchez Torregrosa, parliamentary responses suggest that it will not produce any water until at least 2027, showcasing what she perceives as the government’s disregard for Almer\u00eda’s needs.<\/p>\n

Additionally, S\u00e1nchez Torregrosa pointed out that the tender process for the second desalination plant, Bajo Almanzora II<\/strong>, has been acknowledged by the Executive as unlikely to be initiated until 2026, with no advancements made to date. This lack of urgency in addressing water scarcity issues could have dire consequences for the agricultural sector.<\/p>\n

Infrastructure Concerns<\/h2>\n

Moreover, the expansion plans for the Carboneras plant<\/strong> were discussed, with S\u00e1nchez Torregrosa noting that progress has been nonexistent, despite commitments to commence operations in June. She warned that the execution phase would require at least two years from its initiation, further delaying much-needed improvements.<\/p>\n

The issue of employee safety<\/strong> has also emerged as a concern at the Carboneras plant, where insufficient maintenance has necessitated intervention from labor inspectors due to unsafe working conditions, underscoring the urgent need for reforms.<\/p>\n

Delays in Transportation Infrastructure<\/h2>\n

In terms of transportation, S\u00e1nchez Torregrosa addressed the growing backlog in the rollout of high-speed rail services to the province. The emergence of new complications in Lorca raises additional uncertainty, with projections not even assuring completion by 2028. “We cannot afford to continue experiencing delays in projects critical to the future of our region. We need a government that prioritizes the interests of Almer\u00eda over political preservation,” she declared.<\/p>\n

A Reflection on Government Performance<\/h2>\n

Reflecting on the government’s performance over the past two years, S\u00e1nchez Torregrosa asserted, “Regardless of the government’s attempts to showcase their accomplishments during these 24 months, the reality is clear: we are facing an unprecedented reduction in water supply, alongside mounting delays in key projects that are vital for our future.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
