“Think that we are at the critical melon moment.” These are the words of Santiago Pérez in Hora 14 Región de Murcia.
The spokesperson for the Platform for People Affected by the Los Alcázares Floods and president of the Association of Small Farmers of Campo de Cartagena has spoken in the SER about the damage caused by yesterday’s rain and hail, both in the field and in the Mar Menor.
The potato and, above all, the melon, have been harmed by this episode, says Pérez, who recalls that yesterday there were “a series of stormy phenomena with a lot of electrical equipment, but around 13:30 there was a nucleus between Corvera, Los Martínez del Puerto and Torre Pacheco, and it turned until it came out through Cabo de Palos, causing enormous damage “
He especially talks about the damage to the melon, since “it was 10/20 days away with all the expenses made, it had spectacular conditions, it had endured the spring rains well, but the cloud has left it unable to market and the ruined field. “
As for the Mar Menor, he regrets that “every time there is rain, unfortunately it has become a cliché for us, and it is an entry both for land drains and other types of discharges through sewage treatment plants or collectors. of the municipalities that in the end adds more to the precarious state of the beach, “says Santiago Pérez, who regrets that they provide us with the means to alleviate this situation and” no matter how little it rains, the problem is already great. “
