The Ministry of Development and the Autonomous Community have ignored the requests of the City of Cartagena and the neighbors imposing the arrival of the AVE to the municipality on the surface and the Hondón, during the meeting of the Board of Directors of the High Speed ​​Society that He has celebrated this morning.
"They have not responded to our requests.
They have limited themselves to impose, as they have accustomed us.
We live here and we know better than anyone what Cartagena needs but they have not cared, showing once again that Cartagena is not on their agenda.
Soterran Murcia or Lorca, but they condemn us to a limited growth based on economic criteria, which should not be those that prevail in such an important issue, "said the mayor, Ana Belén Castejón.
The first mayor, who has gone with the councilors of Public Services and Treasury, Juan Pedro Torralba and Carmen Martin del Amor, has shown his outrage because, although before the meeting has allowed the presence of the neighborhood representative of Cartagena , since it had the approval of the Ministry of Development, has been forced to leave when the delegation of the Autonomous Community has arrived.
"Our objective was that, for the first time, the neighbors had a voice in making a decision that is so relevant to the citizens of Cartagena, but again they have shown that the neighborhood opinion does not interest them.
I am fully aware that the neighbors are not part of the Board of Directors, but we wanted their opinion, at least, to be heard, "reiterated Castejón.
The proposal that has been approved today against the criteria of the City Council and the neighbors does not have a budget and, as confirmed by the ministry, the works will not begin until the last quarter of 2020 and the AVE will not reach 42 months. after.
The proposal of the FAVCAC, which has finally presented the first mayor of Cartagena, included the bifurcation of the road in Balsicas so that the branch of goods arrived from the ZAL to Escombreras and the passengers will circulate on the current road, but including the detour of Alumbres.
As much for the neighbors as for the City council, the fact that the layout did not pass through El Hondón meant that the project would be less expensive and much faster, since the decontamination of the land was not necessary and the underground section would be shorter and in a straight line.
In addition, the mayor has pointed out that if the passenger line was finally separated from the merchandise line, it would be fully justified for the Port Authority to be responsible for financing this section.
