Jesús Giménez: "The administrations must guarantee, at least, that the important archaeological remains of the Via Augusta and the Blind Tower will not be affected to install a road that will not connect us to the future, but to the past and the fudge"

MC Cartagena will take an initiative next Thursday to the Municipal Plenary to know if the municipal government, as published on August 11, 2019, confirms that the Railway Infrastructure Manager (ADIF) has not yet defined the route by which the AVE I would arrive at the Plaza de México station.

In this sense, the deputy spokesman of the Municipal Group, Jesús Giménez, has advanced that "we will ask if there is a project, because ADIF has announced that there is no project," adding that "if the mapping is being prepared, there can be no project, so the beginning of the works is a chimera. "

The mayor recalled that "in February, PP and PSOE announced a three-way agreement to start the AVE works to Cartagena in 2019 so that the Environmental Impact Statement (DIA) of the current layout does not expire."

In this way, he continued, "they breached the unanimous agreement of the Plenary of the arrival without walls and by the east; they positioned themselves against the neighbors, common sense and the future of Cartagena, leaving the ZAL of Los Camachos offline railway. All this in exchange for a future and uncertain arrival of high speed without burying and, as soon as possible, within five years. "

The representative of Cartagena has highlighted that "the news offered by ADIF and those of the Minister of Development confirm that there has been no progress; one, staging his felony forming a lash to asphyxiate the Cartagena and delay once again, and 13 years go by, rail integration in Cartagena. "

Giménez has lamented that "this trip to nowhere has led us to the one who speaks on behalf of Cartagena to be the regional PP, the same whose development advisor has already said that the Cartagena people have" the mania to want what others want, " calling us envious for asking for an underground AVE and paying 8%, as they have managed for the capital. "

Archaeological supervision

On the other hand, the deputy spokesman of MC has said that "another issue that has not been discussed and will have to contain the project, having refused the alternative this, is archaeological supervision."

In this line, he explained that "in addition to the evidence of the Blind Tower in the neighborhood of the same name, which is next to the tracks, since 2011 the regional government knows the existence of a Roman road that runs along the left side in the exit direction of Cartagena through the same neighborhood, without having done any consolidation work. Without a doubt, the tower and this road are an important archaeological effect on the route they want to impose on Cartagena. "

Jesús Giménez has finished wishing that "the administrations do not look the other way and if they maintain their refusal to integrate by Los Camachos, at least guarantee that the important archaeological remains of the Via Augusta and the Blind Tower will not be affected to install a road that it won't connect us to the future, but to the past and the fudge.
