The granting of a water transfer from the Ebro to Barcelona has upset other dry regions of the country.
The Regional Councillor for the Environment in Valencia, José Ramón García Antón, has called on the Government to organise a water summit to include all those who are implicated in taking water from the Ebro river. The so-called mini-transfer from the mouth of the river to Barcelona has been criticised by Valencia and Murcia, as you might expect, while even Socialist Aragón has also voiced concerns.
Antón has sent a letter to the Minister for Agriculture, Elena Espinosa, in which he asks for a meeting leading to a state pact on water. The Valencia Government is also studying the possibilities of taking legal action against the transfer to Barcelona. The news was given to the press by the Government vice-president and spokesman Vicente Rambla.
