The mayor of Cartagena, Ana Belén Castejón, and the Councilor for Infrastructure, Juan Pedro Torralba, attended Thursday's meeting of the Board of Directors of Cartagena High Speed ​​in which it has been unanimously decided by all the members to leave in suspense the agreement of last May 28, by which the line arrived in Cartagena on the surface and which was objected to by the municipal government.

During the meeting, it was also agreed to draft a new project that includes the resolution approved unanimously in the municipal plenary on June 7.

"I am very pleased that the Government of the Autonomous Community has finally decided to support the decision to suspend the agreement adopted on May 28 and added to the clamor of the Cartagena society," said Castejón.

After today's meeting, the Secretary of State for Infrastructure, Pedro Saura, has confirmed to the mayor that the technicians of the Ministry of Development will come to the city before the end of the month to draft the new project of the AVE to Cartagena on the ground.

"It is very good news because it shows again that listening to the feelings of the people of Cartagena does not mean to paralyze anything at all.

Nothing is delayed putting on the table the alternative that wants the Cartagena society, since the previous central government had not hired at all, "said the mayor.

In addition, for the next month of August there will be a meeting between Saura and the business and neighborhood representatives of Cartagena in which they will discuss both the railroad and the ZAL of Los Camachos, as well as other issues related to infrastructure that the municipality needs .

CELERITY OF THE DELEGATE OF THE GOVERNMENT AND SECRETARY OF STATE

The mayor also wanted to thank the urgency with which the central government has acted on this issue, "both the government delegate, Diego Conesa, and the Secretary of State, Pedro Saura, have acted with the utmost speed and have proved sensitive to the needs of our municipality.

Proof of this is that in less than 17 days the Board of Directors has been convened today and before the end of the month the Fomento technicians will be already in Cartagena watching the project.

Things are finally changing. "
