ARCHIVED - Major demonstration supporting Mar Menor in Murcia on October 7
The protest is being co-ordinated by the environmental groups calling for more action to protect the Mar Menor
Murcia: Manifestación por el Mar Menor
7 October/20:00 - 21:00
The march will begin outside the headquarters of the regional environment ministry, the Consejería de Agua, Agricultura, Ganadería, Pesca y Medio Ambiente in Plaza Juan XXIII, and will conclude outside the Palacio de San Esteban, headquarters of the regional government.
Environmental groups have organised a major protest and march in support of the Mar Menor in Murcia City on October 7.
The organisations say in a press statement that this is an opportunity to “show their great concern and indignation for the unfortunate state of the Mar Menor, and for the social and economic consequences that this environmental crisis is already having”.
They also say that they are “angered by the attitude of the Regional Government”, which they consider to be the main culprit behind the current situation, since it “holds most of the powers necessary to manage the problem”.
They accuse the regional executive of allowing the agro-industrial sector to contaminate the aquifer and the Mar Menor with its fertilizers and agrochemicals, and for not having any initiative of its own aimed at solving the situation.
It is quite likely that coaches will be organised from various departure points as they were for the last major demonstration relating to this topic which was held in Cartagena, details of which will be available on local social media.
