The High Speed ​​Technical Commission held a meeting yesterday in which it announced plans and options for the arrival of High Speed ​​to the departmental city.

"To the nonexistent commuter service that the municipality suffers and to some old and third-world trains is added an ADIF project that harms and mistreats Cartagena, the second city with the greatest population and importance of the Region".
From the Socialist Party "we will not allow it, ADIF has to assume that it can not make decisions without having the interests of the Region of Murcia."
The socialist leader added that "fortunately the long cycle of PP government in the region will end in June 2019, which will enable the AVE arrives buried in Cartagena and before 2022."
