The Railway Infrastructure Administrator (ADIF), a public entity under the Ministry of Development, has put out to tender the drafting of the project for the connection of high speed on the Riquelme Sucina - Cartagena section, which crosses the municipalities of Cartagena, Torre-Pacheco and Murcia.
In this regard, the president of MC Cartagena, Jesus Giménez, has shown that after thirteen years "there is no electrified line project between Cartagena and Murcia, as José López has been warning." The profile of the ADIF contractor leaves with the embarrassment to the air to PP and PSOE ".
Similarly, Giménez has said that "when this spring is awarded the draft of the project and, if there is money to hire it, in the best scenario, which is never given for Cartagena, the works would begin in 2021, so that nothing will serve the sacrifice that is asked of us with the excuse of the expiration of the DIA (Declaration of Environmental Impact) ".
Moment of fighting for a 21st century rail integration
Meanwhile, "PP and PSOE, with C's comparsa or happy mocito, continue to laugh at the people of Cartagena," said the president of the Cartagena training, who has considered that "the agreement of electoral rush condemns us to suffer the traffic of passengers and merchandise through the center of our neighborhoods with no expiration date and leaves in the air the ZAL of Los Camachos or the Alumbres variant ".
For all this, and responding to the demands of society and complying with the approval of the municipal plenary, "the time has come to revoke that imposition and fight for a 21st century railway integration", underlined Jesús Giménez, so that reduce the costs that must pay the Cartagena "and that once we are treated as Murcia by the institutions, because we also want to be Murcia to pay the 8 and not 25% and not only to be erased from books, the tourism promotion or investments ".
Bus from Cartagena
Concluding, Giménez has irked with the fact that Cartagena is the city most affected by the twenty-three days of bus transfers that begin next week.
"We should feel proud because it is a sacrifice that will not be rewarded because in the coming years there is more chance that the Cartagena-Murcia bus system will be perpetuated than if we have a railway platform that allows high speed or Cercanías. to our Region. "
