Praid, alarm signal. Ever since he was known about infiltration
The Minister of the Environment, Mircea Fechetsays that the infiltration from the saline mine It was known for a long time, but they were « minimized and without the attention that would have been due. » According to the minister, « Praid is an alarm today: we must urgently change the way we manage all natural resources. »
« Since the infiltration of the Praid mines was known? One of the documents I read, an expertise, says that from 1762. The people of the time were isolating the places with bivol skins, considered very resistant to the action of the brine. Minimized and lacking the attention that would have been due, the infiltration led to the picture today, which they have to imagine today, After the waters of the Corund stream came with a historical flow, 100 times higher than usual.
He added that the way the natural resources are managed.
« What we need to understand is that mine It was a source of profit for those who operated the mine and to increase the standard of living for the community, which had an anchor for a better life. But Praid is an alarm today: we must urgently change the way we manage all natural resources.
Each generation took care of Praid how it was – better, less well or not at all, and now the maturity has come.
I have been asked many times what I propose as minister and I offered the same answer: let our children a better country than the one we received. Do you know what Lake Bicaz looks like today? Splendid, compared to the years in which it was drowned in PETs.
I am sure that if many of those who took care of Mina Praid had thought, we would not have arrived here.
It is a harsh lesson-beyond the conclusions that will come from the Prime Minister’s control body-which we receive as people and who have to put all those who believe that they can exploit uncontrolled nature, without concern about the coming years. The intervention of man on nature, as lessons and from Praid, should not be brutal, but cautious, delicate, respecting it and understanding how it works.
Whether we are talking about the extraction of salt, or we are talking about the exploitation of forests that, thanks to the Lord, are a renewable resource, or we are talking about the exploitation of any other resources that we take from nature to have a better standard of living, for cheaper energy, and we can put any other benefits, we have to make it with nature. Nature gives us everything, but it also warns us to take without destroying itself.
Praid is a complex theme, where including experts had one opinion, then another, and we have to listen to experts, because it is a dynamic process and that would be missing, not to trust science. It would be simplistic that if it rains in the house, you repair the roof, because the rain cannot stop it. But we are not in a simple reality.
What the Praid community needs to know, first of all, together we build confidence in each other and find solutions for the future, through decisions, measures and execution in the short, medium and long term. I saw all the authorities involved and all the wheels moving for Praid, we are one with Praid. We put on the table all resources – science, political will and community involvement – for reconstruction.
And we get it out, « he explained.
