Infrastructure spokesman of the Popular Party and MP for Murcia, Andres Ayala, has defended this afternoon a non-legislative proposal to make the connection between Murcia and Cartagena are built simultaneously with the arrival in the region of the high speed in the year 2011.

Ayala, who appeared accompanied by the deputy and mayor of Cartagena, Pilar Barreiro, described the connection of Cartagena as "the most backward section of all the Spanish railway system."

The popular MP has highlighted the discrimination of the Ministry of Development to the citizens of Cartagena, Murcia and Alicante to the conviction that "a second train, low speed performance and slower"

Ayala has demonstrated, with the official documents of the Ministry, that "since the PSOE governs the connection has not changed more than the color of the line is drawn at the Development, which has come to take the color line under study. "

"We lost five years because since April 2004 has not moved a rush" on rail despite the initiatives presented by the Popular Party and not even have invested 180 million euros earmarked in the budget.

Ayala has left those plans to the socialist deputy Sara García Cartagena, which reproached left to submit an amendment that removed any reference to time.

The amendment of Sara García argued that only "the AVE reaches Cartagena soon."

For the popular deputy, "Cartagena will no longer be competitive without a high speed train" and recalled that the General Urban Plan provides for the incorporation of the location of Hail on his arrival in the city.

Ayala has stated that at the last Development Plan was in the same situation PIF 2000-2007 is expected to be completed in 2010.

The PEIT, which he has described as "snafu" was imposed against the criteria of autonomous regions and municipalities.

This situation, in his opinion, discriminates against some communities over others because "condemns some territories to the High Performance, a second train that does not have the qualities of the High Speed."

"The connections are not even in the estimates forwarded by the Government to the European Union, which include rail plans up to 2025," he concluded.
