"

"Some people are acting criminally to what has been an economic tradition in this land of productive economy, a good reputation from his garden, and someone has decided he wants to make money, not waiting for planting and harvesting, but killing for future by planting poison in their land, "he said.

"What has been done there can not hide: there are hundreds of hectares occupied illegally with illegal dumping of all types, who do not respond to any treatment plan, which are showing sources of leachate in the eyes of those who pass by. A I think the greatest scandal I have seen so far in Europe, a scandal of enormous proportions, which has required a network of accomplices that they know how they have woven, politicians, owners ... who have had no prejudices to the assessment that this could affect adjoining properties or the prestige of the area, "he said.
