Andalusia appeals to the Supreme Court to increase the environmental flow of the Tagus

Thus, Andalusia joins the judicial measures of the Executives of the Community of Valencia and the Region of Murcia “against the unjustified decision of the State which causes great harm to the Spanish Levant in general and to Almeria in particular”.

“hit and run”
