The Socialists consider that the municipal government team of the PP, with Gil Jódar at the head, has prevented to project the integral burial of the train tracks as it passes through Lorca with the modification of the Central Round project that involves the construction of a underpass

The councilor of the PSOE, David Romera has said that if the City of Lorca has given up burying the maximum distance necessary to not split the city in two, the PSOE will defend the interests of Lorca and fight for the 4.3 kilometers "wherever and before whoever. "

David Romera has denounced that ADIF will not undertake the integral burial of high-speed roads as it passes through the urban area of ​​Lorca "fulfilling the worst forecasts in terms of safeguarding the future economic and urban interests of our city."

In the project for the construction of a new platform for the Murcia-Almería LAV, in the section between Sangonera and Lorca, "ADIF contemplates that the AVE highways enter the city through the Apolonia neighborhood and continue on the surface and shielded until the end of the section at the height of the Vereda de La Palma, in the vicinity of the Sports Complex Felipe VI ", so the planned double route, which will circulate mixed traffic of passengers and goods," will go on surface and not buried as lorquina society claims ".

In this way, the neighborhoods of San Diego, Avenida de Europa and Apolonia "will be forever isolated by an insurmountable barrier that will prevent their future expansion to the south", which will be magnified with the parallel layout of the Central Round, which will lose its urban street paper.

In this way, continues Romera, "ADIF continues with its plans to bury only 1.7 kilometers of roads in urban areas, when the ideal to safeguard the interests of Lorca is an integral burial that covers the 4.3 kilometers that lie between the Apolonia neighborhood and the exit of the Águilas Autovía (RM-11) ".

From the PSOE of Lorca ensure that accept the 1.7 km is a blow of unpredictable effects for more than 15,000 residents and businesses that reside or are settled in the neighborhoods of San Diego, Avenida de Europa and Apolonia ", when now presents "the great opportunity to connect them and join them to the new neighborhoods planned in the Tercia area, developing a more comfortable, more friendly and humane city".

For the socialist mayor, there is a key political decision that "has favored the impossibility of projecting the integral burial of the roads as it passes through the city of Lorca" and responsible for the PP municipal government team, with the mayor Fulgencio Gil Jódar at the helm: the decision that was adopted at the Governing Board on June 23, which approved the modification of section I of the Central Round to replace the overpass initially planned by an underground passage to more of five meters deep, which, "clearly, makes it impossible for the burial to begin before the roads reach the urban area in Apolonia, a modification made and of which they have never explained why".

In this sense, the modification of the project of section I of the Central Round "has undoubtedly facilitated the ADIF technicians choosing to extend the platform on the surface with a double shielded road to the current urban areas of San Diego, Avenida de Europa and Apolonia, which will be collapsed, and the areas of future expansion that the current General Plan of Urban Planning foresees in Tercia ".

David Romera has indicated that in the High Speed ​​project between Sangonera and Lorca it is planned to undertake large complementary infrastructures such as 10 viaducts and the suppression of all existing level crossings (20 will become higher passages and 5 lower ones), but regrets that "do not contemplate the burial of the 0.8 km that run between the Central Round and the Felipe VI Complex", which is going to suppose to his understanding "a major historical error" that will be paid by the residents of San Diego , Avenida de Europa and Apolonia that will see how their neighborhoods will be strangled forever.

For all this, the mayor stressed that "the PSOE de Lorca always maintained as inalienable, and always will, the integral burial of the high-speed roads in the 4.3 kilometers that run between the neighborhood of Apolonia and the departure of the RM-11 not to mortgage the economic and urban future of Lorca ", so seeing" the real nonsense that comes to us ", from the PSOE" are going to make as many allegations and actions are necessary to prevent the routes pass in surface and shielded next to the houses and businesses of the affected area ".

Finally, Romera asked that "urgently" the mayor Fulgencio Gil Jódar proceed to convene the Bureau for the underground, which has only met once, "given the extraordinary importance of these events for the entire society of Lorca."

In this sense, they accuse the current Mayor of not complying with his word, "since I assure that he would convene the table when there was news", and having said "he has not summoned the table to give an account of these".

They ask that "the initial solution be restored" for the intersection of the train tracks with the Central Round in its section I;

and that the first mayor "immediately march to Madrid, to the Ministry of Development, to fight for the integral burial of the train tracks as it passes through Lorca, and defend the legitimate interests of our city and our neighbors."

"In this sense we tend our hand to the mayor and the government team, otherwise, we will make the allegations and actions that are necessary to prevent what we consider a historical error that will weigh down our future growth and development."
