The nonsense continues among the politicians who ruin us.

Now the senator of the PP Rafael Hernando comes to say in another province that it is nonsense to bury the AVE as it passes through the center of the city of the Sun and that he had already had the approval of the previous government team of the Lorca's PP for the final It was done on the surface.

And especially in a seismic city it is not sensible that there is a tunnel through the center of the city.

In the end we will be the Lorca people who pay for the broken dishes of so much submission of local politicians to their parties.

We are seeing lately that the investments of the AVE are not carried out with economic criteria, but political, subjecting the infrastructure policy of Spain to the supply and demand of the political leaders, forgetting in the process that the main value of the investments in infrastructure is the economic development and particularly that of the most disadvantaged territories, as is the case in the Region of Murcia.

Now a year ago, the new political formation of Somos Región Lorca was giving a press conference and they transmitted their proposal for the passage of the Ave and the Mediterranean Corridor as it passed through the City of Lorca.

We are region wanted and wants to recover the idea of ​​the Northern Tracing project, since the works had stopped and technical studies return.

For them the Project was a great improvement of the layout for the following reasons:

The city would not be divided in two for life.

Remember that important projects such as highways never cross the center of cities.

There would be no space limitation for the growth of the railway station, as for the bus station.

It would eliminate the division of neighborhoods such as Apolonia, San Diego and districts such as Tercia, Campillo and Torrecilla.

With this we prevent the city from growing.

All expropriations of land in districts would not be necessary and all the overpasses that so much headache are taking now will be avoided.

It would also eliminate the retaining wall that the railroad supposes for next avenues of water after torrential rains.

It would prevent the passage of freight trains through the city center, even dangerous ones, since the route of the AVE shares the same route as the Mediterranean Corridor.

During the construction of the route, the current track and the station could continue to operate, it would not be necessary to build any for that period.

A stop of the Mediterranean Corridor could be established in the vicinity of the Saprelorca estate, which would attract more industrial activity and therefore job creation.

It would make the city of Lorca one day become a great city with present and future.

They also reported several projects on the passage of the AVE in other cities such as Alcantarilla and Totana in our region, which are already committed to the passage of the Ave by a variant that does not cross the city center.

As has happened in other places such as the Camarillas Variant, it was one of those projects abandoned in 2006. Then it was said, in an euphemistic way, that it is "postponed for an upcoming study", and now it seems that it has been the solution.

At the national level there are projects such as the Antequera variant that uses the impressive Archidona viaduct, which flies over the olive fields over more than 3 kilometers, this is caused by an environmental requirement.

Another important important work is the Sorbas Tunnel of more than 7 km in length, which will be the longest in Andalusia.

Their technical complexity is high since they cross lands with notable geological and geotechnical risks.

From Somos Región we bet that once the North Path is studied in a real way, remember that it was rejected for political and non-technical reasons.

Since the current layout directly affects both the city center, as well as districts such as La Hoya, Marchena, Tercia, Torrecilla, Campillo and neighborhoods such as San Diego and Apollonia, in short, more than 20,000 inhabitants of our city.

We are in a historic moment where we have to decide whether to continue investing in inequality or start investing in development at once;

development that allows us to finally pay for all infrastructures, both those made with a sense of state and those made with clearly partisan criteria.
