The socialists showed again yesterday in the municipal plenary session their disagreement with the actions that the PP government team is carrying out for the construction of a lower step in Section I of the Central Round, and that "will make impossible" the integral burial of the AVE as it passes through Lorca in the necessary 4.3 kilometers, when an obstacle is placed underground that will compromise the future of the neighborhoods of San Diego, Avenida de Europa and Apolonia.

The councilor of the Municipal Socialist Group, David Romera, has once again highlighted the dissatisfaction of the PSOE in Lorca with the actions being carried out by the PP Government team to replace the overpass initially planned at the intersection of section I of the Central Round with the train track in the Apolonia area by an underpass, "which will make it impossible for the burial of AVE tracks as it passes through Lorca to be integral, as we have requested from the PSOE and the of the Lorca society ".

Romera has indicated that the position of the PSOE of Lorca has always been the same and is inalienable: "We want the burial of future AVE routes and the Mediterranean Corridor as it passes through Lorca is integral in the 4.3 kilometers of urban area that run between the Apolonia neighborhood and the exit of the Águilas Autovía by San Antonio "and" we will always demand it, whoever governs in Madrid governs now and after the elections of next April 28 ".

The socialist mayor has maintained that "the Socialists of Lorca, with Diego José Mateos in front, we are very clear that the interests of Lorca and Lorca are the first, and are above the partisan interests," we have shown throughout of all the legislature, and this is reflected in our "SOL Project" of solutions for Lorca "with which our city will shine again after the upcoming municipal elections in May," he assures.

The socialist mayor recalled that, unilaterally, the government team of the PP adopted the decision in the Local Government Board of June 23, 2017 that involved the modification of the initial overpass on the railway for another less than five meters deep, decision adopted by turning its back on the more than 20,000 residents who live in the neighborhoods of San Cristobal, San Diego, Tejares, Los Angeles, Apolonia and Avenida de Europa, which are going to mortgage their economic future and urbanistic, because said lower passage "will become an obstacle underground that will make it impossible for the burial to begin before the arrival of the roads to Apolonia", so that the "real burial will start from the Guadalentín channel, as predicted by the PP of Mariano Rajoy, "and the roads in the area of ​​Apolonia, Avenida de Europa and San Diego" will go on surface and on ramp with a shielded trench ".

This will mean that the train tracks become an insurmountable barrier that will eventually stop the future development of these neighborhoods and isolate them from the rest of the city forever, which he considers "a historical error".

"We are not against the underpasses under the railroad as" technical solution ", as long as they are for the improvement of the projects and the living conditions of the neighbors" affirms the Socialist councilor, as has been demonstrated with the support from the PSOE is being made to the underground Tercia Platform, he adds.

David Romera explained that "the PP never believed in the comprehensive burial of the AVE as it passed through Lorca and has preferred to punish once again the neighborhoods, which has been removing services since the PP came to power twelve years ago "

The Socialist councilor has concluded by underlining that from the PSOE de Lorca "will continue to fight for the complete burial of the AVE and the Mediterranean Corridor as it passes through the city in a length of 4.3 kilometers so that the future of any neighborhood is mortgaged for the next hundred years either to San Antonio or to Apolonia ";

in the same way that he urged, once again, the PP government team to "back off, not put obstacles to the burying of roads in the area of ​​San Diego, Avenida de Europa and Apolonia", because otherwise , both the mayor of Lorca and the mayor of Works, will be responsible for a historical error that will slow the development of an important part of Lorca and that must be known to the neighbors who will be affected by the passage of a high voltage catenary next to their homes and trains of travelers and goods at all hours ".
