The almost universal outrage of residents in San Miguel de Salinas at government plans for a massive solar power plant in prime farmland will be expressed at a demonstration on Sunday (March 3).

According to the organisers, the plant is being promoted by public water company Acuamed in order to reduce the cost of energy for Torrevieja desalination plant.
