Municipal plenary ratified last night, unanimously, the minutes of demarcation of the municipalities of San Javier and San Pedro del Pinatar, which was previously signed by the newly formed committees in both municipalities, and that leaves the boundaries between the two municipalities as they were.
Under the agreement, the 25,652 meters square which claimed the city of San Pedro del Pinatar in the municipality of San Javier, based on records of demarcation of 1846, will remain in the end of San Javier.
The two boundary commissions collected on 19 January agreed to a joint act of compromise, which recognizes the current boundary between the two municipalities, such as fixed line minutes of the end of 1899 and as set in the documentation provided by the Mapping Service of the Ministry of Sustainable Development and Spatial Planning of the Autonomous Region of Murcia.
This agreement is subject to a final settlement of the record of confrontation with the town of Pilar de la Horadada, in San Pedro del Pinatar that maintains territorial discrepancies, to be common to the 3 terms of milepost number 1, so that the agreement would be nugatory, if the ultimate resolution will affect the line established in the study of cartography from the Ministry of Sustainable Development and Planning.
The territorial issue between the two municipalities arose when in 2006 the then mayor of San Pedro del Pinatar, Pedro José Pérez placed new markers, in line with San Javier, as in Pilar de la Horadada redefining its territory, annexing, A total of 439,753 meters of town the square, and 25,652 in San Javier.
The mayor based his claim on a previous 1846 record of the currently existing dating from 1899.
The issue resolved with mutual agreement with San Javier, is still pending a final settlement of litigation that keeps San Pedro del Pinatar in Pilar de la Horadada.
