"The glamor of Ave can not hide the real problems of railway infrastructure Cartagena and its region".

That was the first assessment by José Luis Romero Jodar mayoral candidate by Plural Left (Win Cartagena) -the composed of United Left-Greens and Socialists for Cartagena, after meeting with the leaders of the sector coalition CCOO in the Region of Murcia.

At that meeting, in which Romero has been accompanied by other members of the nomination to the City of Cartagena, the union was represented Salvador Soto, Secretary of the Federation of Citizen Services;

Francisco Martin, secretary of the railway sector integrated into the federation;

and Antonio del Campo, railway expert and former member of the Board of Renfe.

Both union representatives and the Plural Left have agreed that the real need in rail infrastructure are counting on a double track electrified-Murcia and Extremadura are the only two Spains regions where there is not a single kilometer of track electrificada- serve both the transport of goods to the trains and the hypothetical arrival of AVE, against the option that handles PP yarn or third rail on the current path that would make has to be shared by the three options handled with subsequent saturation and other problems.

Including the fact that if the line for the AVE to 25,000 volts is electrified, as is necessary for that train, I could not drive by it vehicles operating at 3000 volts, condemning the people of the region and the District of Cartagena to commuter trains and goods were driven by diesel engines, and the only trains that RENFE has such kind of an antique reaching the half-century.

It has also been chosen to improve commuter lines, where there are 4,500,000 500,000 users from long distance in the region annually.

And also since it demands Plural Left take the train FEVE which now belongs to ADIF, being named as wide métrico- train to Cabo de Palos and maintain the railroad station in its current location, because there is located, within less than 150 meters, the s metric gauge stations and bus rail, or LVEF.

As for the promises of arrival of the AVE to Cartagena in 2016, they have been cleared with the data, compared to 500 million originally envisaged that the work would cost the figure of 112. Of these shuffled for this year only There are 5 for project studies, while the figures for 2016, 2017 and 2018 are respectively 10, 20 and 32 million, so be missing yet another 45 so that, from 2019, can reach high speed our town.

"In the municipal and regional elections of 2019 will continue discussing the issue of the arrival of the AVE, despite the cheap promises of PP. Because it is very cheap talk black AVE on white on newsprint, but really no budget for realize the promise with which they are hiding the true Cartagena railway needs, "concluded José Luis Romero.
