Soria now! Oral questions will be asked tomorrow at the plenary session of Castile and León’s parliament in an attempt to shed light on the controversy over pollution in the Queles River. Soria ya! The situation has affected neighboring communities in Aragon and Navarre since the beginning of September, causing “health and water supply problems,” said Vanessa García, the lawyer for the group.
Experts point to Castile and Leon as the source of the problem, according to the Sorianista party. It was initially thought that the protozoa that caused gastroenteritis in about 500 people might have come from a fish farm at the head of the river in the town of Vozmediano Soria.
Now that hypothesis has been ruled out, Soria now! Garcia said the government of Castilla and León is asked to work extremely hard to find out the exact location of this outbreak so that “this problem that affects not only the people, but also the economies of our neighbors will never happen again.”
“The Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Environment must work together to put an end to the reputation that affects the entire Moncayo region,” added Ángel Senha, spokesperson for Soria Now! In parliament, he insisted that the microorganism must be “eradicated” so that “there is no longer any question about how Castile and León treats the health of its waters.”
