The president of the Community, who has chaired the first Governing Council after the summer holidays, warns that a “devastating winter” is coming
The Mar Menor has been the scene this Thursday morning of the reunion of the Governing Council, which has resumed its weekly meetings in San Pedro del Pinatar. Before the meeting, the president of the Community sailed through the lagoon with the brigades that remove 700 tons of biomass daily, and was optimistic about the state of the Mar Menor, from which 17,200 tons of biomass have been extracted in what it’s year
“The situation was critical and it still is. But we have made decisions for the future, and we have reached 17,200 tons. Never has a measure been so effective; It has allowed us to maintain stability, according to the scientific community, and the Mar Menor has resisted despite having reached the highest temperature since records have been kept thanks to the work of these 150 workers”, said López Miras, who also highlighted in his first appearance of the political course the good data recorded by the tourism sector.
About to close “the best August in history”, according to the Chief Executive, the Mar Menor bonus led to 2,610 overnight stays, the Corvera airport has reached figures similar to those before the pandemic, with a 200% increase in passengers national, and the port of Cartagena has received 67,000 cruise passengers. “We are the second community with the highest increase in tourist reservations. July has been the best in history, with 160,000 tourists, and in August 89% of hotel reservations have risen, six points more, which points to the best August in history, “said the president of the Community.
López Miras did not want to fuel the debate on a possible reshuffle of his government, and settled the matter by assuring that “I do not plan to make changes. There is no forecast.”
On the other hand, he did extend his criticism of the Government of Pedro Sánchez by denouncing that Murcians “are the last in line for Pedro Sánchez; we see it as the island, or the railway hell that Murcia has become: all the others, to Atocha; the Murcians, to Chamartín. More stones on the road that are not going to stop us », he lamented. López Miras was pessimistic about the economic future: «There are more and more families in debt and who cannot afford the bills. They warn us of a complicated autumn, but the winter is going to be devastating.
