This morning, the spokesman of the Municipal Group MC Cartagena, José López, has valued some of the conclusions that result from the press conference offered last Friday by the Platform 'Pro Soterramiento' and the Federation of Neighborhood Associations (FAVCAC) in the that the different positions regarding the future railway integration in the municipality of Cartagena were evidenced.

That day were clear the reasons given by the neighbors to oppose the decision of PP and PSOE to accept the arrival on the current route.

As MC announced, the impact on Cartagena of this imposed integration is 25% compared to 8% that affects the City of Murcia.

They also demanded the fulfillment of the unanimous agreement of the June 2018 plenary session, demanding that the high speed reach Cartagena without strangulating its future growth or isolating certain neighborhoods.

In this context, the Cartagena leader wanted to influence integration, asking "what lies behind the zero option for the arrival of the AVE to Cartagena? On the one hand, the Ministry of Development does not provide deadlines for the diversion of goods to the ZAL of Los Camachos For its part, the Port of Cartagena (which does pay the Camarillas variant) does not tender the Alumbres variant, while signing an agreement with RENFE to modify the Escombreras exchanger, also forgetting Los Camachos ".

Lopez has continued pointing out that "they are trying to delay the arrival of the merchandise to Los Camachos so that, in the meantime, the ZAL of Murcia can be developed and thereby benefit the productive fabric and the employment of Murcia, even if it is subtracting future and employment to its legitimate recipients, the citizens of Cartagena and Comarca. "

Then, he clarified the meaning of these actions.

"The AVE is like the wolf and some business leaders of Cartagena the lambs, who calmly wait without raising their voices while the port traffic of the ZAL of Cartagena moves away and, what is worse, the thousands of jobs that must be generated for the Region".

Subsequently, Lopez clarified that "the urgency lies in the diversion of goods, which is why they do not speak it." If we consent to the PP and PSOE boycott of the Los Camachos ZAL, the future of our economy is in danger, as it adds up to the infrastructure deficit that weighs on agriculture and tourism, damaging our SMEs ".

The MC spokesman has concluded adding that the general situation concludes that "the outlook is bleak and almost pointing to worse." The road from Cartagena to Albacete is not electrified, they no longer hide to recognize that there will be no AVE until 2026 and they do not advance in Benipa's "baipas" for the connection with the Mediterranean Corridor, this is the PPSOE's presentation card in Cartagena.
