For his part, the vice president of the FAVCAC, Francisco Rodríguez, has exposed the point of view of the federation on the AVE, "we are not against the arrival of the AVE, but to come as a product and consider whether with the arrival of the AVE are still keeping the commuter trains, and if you arrive in Murcia sooner.
These are the approaches that we make as a federation. "
