"La alcaldesa de Motril, Luisa García Chamorro junto a su homóloga de la ELA de Carchuna Calahonda, Conchi Abarca, han inaugurado dos figuras que representan a una mujer y a una niña, obra del escultor Venancio Sánchez, a través de las cuales quieren rendir homenaje a los hombres y mujeres del campo, donde la agricultura ha sido y es, la principal fuente de riqueza del anejo motrileño.
“Como hemos defendido siempre, nuestro sector primario, nuestra agricultura, forma parte de nuestras raíces más profundas y sigue siendo la pieza fundamental sobre la que se sustentan miles de familias, no solo de Carchuna y Calahonda, sino de toda nuestra comarca. Hoy inauguramos este monumento, obra de nuestro querido Venancio Sánchez, un reconocimiento más que justo y acertado al igual que lo fue la escultura de nuestros pescadores en honor a nuestras agricultoras y nuestros agricultores”, se expresó Conchi Abarca presidenta de la ELA.
La alcaldesa de Motril, alabó la obra de arte, representantiva de los agricultores de la zona. “Preciosa la escultura dedicada a la mujer agricultora inaugurada esta tarde en Carchuna. Enhorabuena a Conchi Abarca, presidenta de la ELA de Carchuna-Calahonda y muchas gracias al escultor Venancio Sanchez por el cariño y la sensibilidad, la emoción que es capaz de llevar a sus obras”, ha dicho"

"The mayor of Motril, Luisa García Chamorro, together with her counterpart from the ALS of Carchuna Calahonda, Conchi Abarca, have inaugurated two figures that represent a woman and a girl, the work of the sculptor Venancio Sánchez, through which they want to pay tribute to the men and women of the countryside, where agriculture has been and is the main source of wealth in the Motril district.
“As we have always defended, our primary sector, our agriculture, is part of our deepest roots and continues to be the fundamental piece on which thousands of families are supported, not only in Carchuna and Calahonda, but in our entire region. Today we inaugurate this monument, the work of our beloved Venancio Sánchez, a recognition that is more than fair and accurate, just as the sculpture of our fishermen was in honor of our farmers," said Conchi Abarca, president of the ELA.
