The agricultural unions Unió de Pagesos considered "unacceptable" that the Government is contemplating bringing water from the River Segre the Barcelona hotels metropolitan area without prior dialogue with the Barcelona hotels social and economic actors in the territory.

Unió de Pagesos has claimed the Catalan hotels government policy "comprehensive and coherent at the country level" to manage the drought situation that suffers Catalunya.

The Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Action, Joaquim Fill, has justified today travase water Segre in a state of "emergency" because it is difficult to leave any area of Catalonia Hotels without water and argues that this is a "basic priority "Govern.

Fill believes that compensate for irrigators who were withdrawn irrigation water although this is subject to the jurisdiction of the Minister of the Environment and Housing, Francesc Baltasar.
