• Dispute The 'water war' part of the PSOE by supporting Moncloa a great reduction of the transfer from the Tagus to the Segura

  • Analysis Pedro Sánchez angers everyone with the transfer of the Tagus

The

water war

revives.

The decision of the Government to promote a significant reduction in the transfer from the Tagus to the Segura puts on the table a new autonomic tension -Castilla-La Mancha vs.

Murcia and Valencia- and within the PSOE, as the Murcian and Valencian socialists ask not to reduce the transfer, while the Castilian-Manchegos "go on the attack" to end it.

Emiliano García-Page, president of Castilla-La Mancha has invited his colleagues from Murcia and Valencia to a meeting "on the banks of the Tagus, so they can see the river filth we have."

Page is a firm defender of ending the Tajo-Segura transfer.

Hence, it supports the position championed by the Ministry of

Ecological Transition

, which, given the shortage of water in the southeast of Spain, is committed to solutions such as "reuse" or "desalination".

The proposal of the Ministry of Ecological Transition, endorsed by

the National Water Council

, establishes a reduction in the limit of 38 cubic hectometres that can be transferred each month at level 2, which would drop to 27.

"The European Union has already said that the transfer has to be thinking about its end and Europe has it very clear," said the president of Castilla-La Mancha during a visit to Ciudad Real.

The position of the regional leader, a member of the PSOE such as the Valencian president Ximo Puig, is that we are facing a scenario of water shortage and he plans a meeting with his counterparts from Levante to try to bring positions closer, which today are very opposed.

"If they want us to talk seriously about water, let us do it on the banks of the Tagus, so that they can see the filth of the river, while five times more water is going to other areas of Spain. We are going to defend other alternatives. We want you not to There is a lack of water in the

Levant,

"said Page, with an expression with which he tried to show that shortages also prevail in his region.

Call, with great doses of irony, to dialogue because, Page considers that "we know that we have to understand each other" thinking "about the day after tomorrow, not about tomorrow alone."

The Murcian and Valencian Socialists, who this week have joined forces by signing a joint manifesto in which they see the transfer "inalienable", ask the Government of Pedro Sánchez to "maintain the current allocations, both for urban supply and for the use of irrigation ", as well as" consensus with the users and the autonomous governments of Murcia and the Valencian Community of any change in the current scenario of the Tajo-Segura aqueduct ".

In contrast to this position, Page considers that the defense of the Tajo-Segura transfer and the management, at the same time, of the European recovery funds with sustainability criteria is "incompatible".

"It seems common sense that if you are going to ask for a lot of money under the guise of sustainability, that applies to everything."

In the sense of taking advantage of the injection of money from Europe -Spain will receive 140,000 million until 2026- for projects that allow reuse or have solutions to have water in the face of water scarcity.
