At the Congress of the People’s Party of Deputies, Agriculture Spokesperson Milagros Marcos, together with national deputies César Sánchez, Macarena Montesinos, Agustín Almodovar and regional coordinator Arturo Poquet, visited the municipality of Xaló this Thursday. Learn first-hand about the wine industry and the needs of the industry in the province of Alicante. After the meeting, Milagros Marcos said, “The popular party supports the wine industry in the region. A sector that produces economic activity and can stimulate both tourism and fine wines from the province.”
Later, referring to the Government’s recent actions, the People’s Party said, “We do not understand why the PSOE allows the production of vineyards to be replaced by solar panels instead of doing sensible energy planning. We do not understand why they did not follow the example of other countries and chose to attack the wine industry twice. On the one hand, in Europe, by trying to get the European Parliament to classify wine as a drug, the People’s Party was able to stop it. On the other hand, a week ago, trying to remove wine from the range of restaurants and hotels in our country”.
he reproached government inconsistency“The national government doesn’t know for whom it’s vintage,” said Milagros Marcos, “because one ministry attacks wine while trying to keep wine out of the national tourist and gastronomic offering, while another ministry has a promotion to increase its consumption.”
The spokesperson for Agriculture pointed out the attitude of the People’s Party and stated that it was “depending on the wine industry”. A sector that creates economic activity at the national level and especially in the province of Alicante, also relocating the population to unpopulated areas and contribute to the fight against climate change by capturing CO2 emissions”.
On the other hand, Milagros continued to emphasize the defense of water in this state and the support of the People’s Party for the balanced use of this resource throughout the region. “Water is a scarce commodity that requires study, consensus and dialogue, not division among Spaniards. We need a national agreement for waterAs recommended by the People’s Party.”
Palencia’s national attorney stated that European funds are currently available to invest in hydraulic infrastructure for water storage. For this reason, “It is not understood that even the studies foreseen in the previous hydrological plans were not carried out. If water does not accumulate, it cannot be used when necessary. If agreements are not sought between regions with availability and regions with scarcity, water is wasted and not used”.
He concluded by pointing out that “it is an imperative obligation of the government to seek these agreements and not to create divisions around a fundamental entity for the entire rural world, especially in provinces like Alicante”.
