With the announcement that the central and regional governments will only implement the commuter rail service between Cartagena and Murcia when these cities are connected by high speed, the spokesman of the MC Municipal Group, Francisco Calderón, has noted that "this news shows, once More, how both regional and state administrations turn their backs on Cartagena and do so without taking into account security and basic transportation needs. "

Regarding the situation of the level crossings and the decision of Adif not to suppress the crossing of the line Madrid-Cartagena with the road La Palma-Pozo Estrecho and to remove only two in the route of FEVE Cartagena-Los Nietos, Calderón has Stated that "the elimination of the level crossing is a historical demand of the municipality and MC, a debt and a risk to our security that is maintained by the disinterest to our region by successive governments," also remembering that this issue Is on the mayor's agenda for a future meeting with ADIF and Fomento.

In relation to the arrival of high speed, the spokesman of the municipal group cartagenerista has lamented that "if there is no progress in the environmental study is due to the lack of political will for the AVE to reach the Region of Cartagena. Not by technical criteria, this study is delayed, as is the design and execution of Beniel's baipas. "

"The AVE could be in Cartagena a year ago and, throughout the region, if the CARM government had requested it. Instead, it prefers to continue to deceive with the burial to Murcia, and Isolate our region without processing even the previous studies and, in this way, prevent confirmation of the viability and greater efficiency of the AVE solution to Cartagena. "

That is why, Calderón stressed, "Beniel's baipas will only come out ahead if the Port Authority bets to be a port and not the Ministry of Propaganda and Promotion of the Region."

Surroundings

On the other hand, Francisco Calderón has assured that "as far as the outskirts, we are sadly convinced that will not advance in years, although it is more than necessary for workers and students, since the railway connection between the regional capitals is as necessary as Precarious to today, "adding that" over the years, regional politicians will appear as saviors, offering the Comarca a commuter service when the AVE arrives in Murcia city and will report the impracticability of bringing it to Cartagena. "

Faced with this situation, Calderón concluded by claiming that "beyond the actions and institutional claims, which the current mayor has not ceased to develop, it must be the associative fabric of the Region of Cartagena, especially the business, that rises against this Situation that threatens to cause us to lose another forty years of progress and development.
