"The responsibility and conscience of the Consistory" is demonstrated by the hiring of coaches to replace the abandonment of the commuter network that left 71 young people "pulled" at Sutullena station.

The Councilor for Citizen Security of the City of Lorca, José Luis Ruiz Guillén, has again insisted this morning on the rapid response that from the municipal Consistory was given to 71 travelers, mostly young minors, that last Saturday for the They stayed "at night" at Sutullena train station after the breakdown in the air conditioning system of one of the nearby wagons.

Ruiz Guillén explained that "the young people waited to travel to the coastal town of Aguilas where the popular Summer Carnival was held and, after the breakdown in one of the cars of the convoy, from Renfe they were informed that another train would pick them up. , specifically at 23:00 hours, and subsequently told them that this collection would be impossible. "

Those affected then contacted the Local Police to report the problem, at which time the Councilor for Citizen Security himself appeared at the station to "know first-hand the situation of these passengers, taking the necessary steps to ensure the displacement of all these people. "

The mayor of Public Safety has detailed that "we contacted two people from Renfe who could not solve the problem and that was when the Lorca City Council took the initiative to hire two buses to carry out the transfer of young people to Eagles. An operation that was complicating being aware that it was 12 o'clock on a Saturday, August 10, but finally the management was accomplished. "

José Luis Ruiz Guillén has insisted that "mostly they were minors and, therefore, it was important for the City Council, regardless of who is responsible for this problem, only Renfe and Adif for abandoning this commuter service. in this way, two buses were made available to the passengers, managed by the Department of Public Safety, and even a police unit transferred four passengers to the Jaravía-Pulpí station so as not to divert the buses. "

In addition, the councilor said that "we are in contact with the delegate of the Government in the Region of Murcia, Francisco Jiménez, to carry out all the necessary procedures to accelerate the process of renovation and maintenance of a vital infrastructure for communication of Lorca and Lorca, as well as citizens of neighboring towns and, of course, tourists who visit our coast during these weeks. "

And he insisted that "it is a claim that we have been making both in the opposition and now from the government team, not as the Popular Party that has been silent for 12 long years and it is now when they remember to denounce a situation false, since they were not "several hundred young people" as they dedicated themselves to publish erroneously, and "none of their councilors were interested in this problem either from the City Council if it was done from the first moment."
