Once again, the controversial law of Doñana comes to the fore, which proposes to regularize illegal irrigation in the surroundings of the national park for irrigators mainly of red fruits such as strawberries. On this occasion, the confrontation between the Government and the Junta de Andalucía is due to the boycott that some groups of German consumers are carrying out on strawberries from Huelva as a result of the processing of this text, which has been opposed by organizations at national, international, regional and scientific levels.
The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and the Third Vice President and Minister of Ecological Transition, Teresa Ribera, echoed on their social networks the aforementioned boycott of the consumption of Huelva strawberries, which the Andalusian PP considers to be fueling a initiative that harms Andalusia.
"Pedro Sánchez's malice against Andalusia knows no limits," said the PP parliamentary spokesman, Toni Martín, who believes that the Prime Minister "has not surpassed the electoral result on Sunday and has openly launched to attack" the community.
In addition, Martín has gone further, placing Sánchez "at the forefront of a maneuver orchestrated with groups close to European socialism" to attack and "boycott" the strawberry sector.
The response from the president of the Junta de Andalucía, Juanma Moreno, was not long in coming. "The manipulation has gotten out of hand. Talking badly about Andalusia and its farmers in Europe has these consequences. They are playing with the bread of thousands of families." "Doñana is saved with more commitment and less demagogy. That's good!" Concludes the Andalusian popular leader on his twitter.
The Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development of the Junta de Andalucía, Carmen Crespo, has requested this Wednesday an "urgent" meeting with the main German distribution chains "in defense" of Huelva strawberries as a result of the boycott initiated by consumer organizations in that country against red berries due to the alleged effects of their cultivation on the Doñana Natural Park.
In addition, the counselor has demanded the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Luis Planas, to "immediately come to his defense and put an end to the unfair attacks that he is receiving for ideological reasons that have nothing to do with his professional activity and to which he is giving rise to the Government of Spain with the frontal attack against Andalusia".
In addition, Crespo has asked Minister Luis Planas "to commit to providing solutions and not to support a demagogy that gives rise to an unfair boycott for such an important sector for the province of Huelva and, therefore, for the community as a whole. autonomous region of Andalusia.
