Overview

• Ministry draft would reduce Tajo-Segura transfers by 50% from 2027, threatening Murcia’s €3 billion agricultural economy and 300,000 jobs.
• PP deputy Jesús Cano registered a motion to reject the Tajo River Basin Plan and called for an urgent review of ecological flow limits under common scientific criteria.
• Socialists led by Fernando Moreno accused the PP of removing any mention of the Tajo-Segura transfer from its national congress document without offering alternative water solutions.
• Murcia’s president Fernando López Miras described the cut as a politically driven decision lacking technical justification and urged a national water pact to secure equitable distribution.
• With reserves at Entrepeñas and Buendía reaching 1,600 hm³—the highest in 20 years—regional leaders argue there is no technical need for drastic reductions.
