The candidate for the presidency of the Community, Rafael González Tovar, who met today with directors of the Chamber of Commerce of Cartagena and neighborhood associations, accompanied by the Socialist spokesman Development in the Congress of Deputies, Juan Luis Gordo, has demanded that the Government of Rajoy that "accelerate the arrival of the AVE to Cartagena, because the municipality can not endure delays in infrastructure that is vital for tourism and its economy."
Tovar noted that the Chamber of Commerce and the Cartagena entrepreneurs are claiming strongly that this important infrastructure is not paralyzed, which, in his opinion, "has slowed because the PP wanted to impose a path from which he resigned with the arrival of Rajoy the Moncloa- it was all infeasible point. "
The socialist leader has criticized the other hand, the Popular Party because "with the amendments has now presented, is trying to make a purely electoral maneuver to announce with fanfare facing an investment within three years."
"The PP promises long-term investments without compromise, when the reality is that the Government of Rajoy has just executed 19 percent of the budget for 2014 of the AVE line between Alicante and Murcia," he added.
It reaches the current station
Regarding the intention of the PP and the commitment of the own mayor of Cartagena in the new station will be within the polygon Mandarache, González Tovar has insisted that "what to do invest in the current railway station, which is been abandoned, and that is where Cartagena and Cartagena want to take the AVE arrival ".
Mediterranean Corridor
In addition, González Tovar stressed "for the PSOE, and of course for the Region of Murcia and Cartagena, the Mediterranean Corridor is a fundamental element, and it shows that we have claimed the socialist leaders of the regions affected in the quotes from Tarragona and Alicante. "
Challenge Cartagena
For its part, the Socialist spokesman Development in the Congress of Deputies, Juan Luis Gordo, has launched a compromise proposal by the PP deputy Cartagena Andres Ayala, also spokesman for the Promotion of the Parliamentary Group, inviting it "if really want to commit to the development of high speed Murcia-Cartagena in the Development Commission that on the 17th we introduce a motion asking the government joint law of Spain that we detail all actions realization of the project on years 2015 and 2016, because that is the only way to truly know the commitment of PP with Cartagena and the AVE line ".
Socialist MP concerned the amendment submitted by the PP in the Senate regarding the AVE that, in his opinion, "is a meaningless game in the Budget 2015, especially when the 2014 was a lost year" .
"It is time to introduce smoke, but showing itself to real investment in budgets as we proposed in our socialist amendment to promote an acceleration of the arrival of the AVE to Cartagena. It is proved by facts in the budget," he insisted .
"Socialists advocate solutions that bring the shuttle service to citizens whenever possible. That is our commitment," added Juan Luis Gordo, which advocates that the money that the EU will soon go to infrastructure "is intended where necessary and beneficial, as is the Region of Murcia, to transport people and goods ".
