- The orange formation has moved its deputies in the Congress and Regional Assembly the need to increase pressure on the Ministry and the Government delegate, to end this intolerable situation.
"The railway system that we suffer in Cartagena is equal to or worse than that of Extremadura, the only difference is that its leaders are more demanding and their capacity for indignation remains intact, while the PSOE governors of Cartagena and those of this PP Community continue to Called and indolent, "assured the spokesman of Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padin today announced that he has transferred to national and regional deputies the need to increase pressure on the Ministry and the delegate of the Government in the Region, Diego Conesa, to finish with this dantesca situation.
"The AVE debate can not hide the chaos of the medium distance, the absence of Cercanías, and the extension of FEVE," says Manuel Padín.
According to the orange spokesman.
"the schedule of breakdowns, delays, railway blackouts, even blind trains with shattered front glass, and transfers by bus and taxi in the connection between Madrid and Cartagena has nothing to envy Extremadura, Cartagena users have been thrown a and again in the 'hartaria' asphyxiated heat in summer and cold dead in winter, but yes, in Extremadura the Socialist Government of the Board has no hairs on the tongue to put firm Adif, the state company that belongs to the Ministry of Public Works, and to the Government of Pedro Sánchez but in Cartagena they emphasize submission and looking the other way ".
As for the Alvia hybrid trains, the orange spokesman insists on the lack of information, "these machines arrived 10 years late, and now nothing is said about the number and frequency they will have when Camarillas is operational, at the moment the schedule planned does not meet the objective of attracting visitors to the Region and invigorate the economy. "
The railway company offers four daily services from Chamartín to Cartagena, and vice versa, through the Altaria long-distance trains.
The last incident took place last Wednesday and affected 140 passengers who at 19:40 had to make a transfer to a medium-distance train that took them to Alcázar de San Juan and from there depart on another train to Madrid.
"We have old trains, the tracks are not electrified, there are personnel problems in Renfe and Adif, the planning before the incident is conspicuous by its absence", lists Padín who sees no other solution than an investment shock plan that prioritizes the situation in Cartagena " and not on a whim, but because we have the worst rail system in Spain with Huelva and Extremadura. "
"With the AVE without date and without project in Cartagena thanks to PP and PSOE, without Cercanías Cartagena-Murcia, without the extension of FEVE, with an Altaria that falls apart between Madrid and Cartagena ... we continue the same as in 2015, we have only added since then four political years lost by the useless war for power between MC and PSOE in this municipality, "laments Manuel Padin who believes that the only conclusion you can draw is that" Cartagena has been ignored by the national governments of the PP and the PSOE when they ruled Spain alone, and that the current political instability with governments in absolute minority propitiated by the populism of Podemos at the national level and the localist populism of MC at the municipal level has been the finishing touch for the people of Cartagena ".
"We desperately need a strong and stable government in Spain and in Cartagena," Padín concludes.
