This morning we met in Cartagena representatives of all institutions involved to agree and resolve the arrival of the AVE to the city, giving as solution the current path and take the option to discard the center, much more complex and costly

Autonomous Community, Town Hall, COEC and Chamber of Commerce, agreed this morning in Cartagena propose the Ministry of Development a more viable solution in order to run the proposed arrival of the AVE to Cartagena, a solution that exploits the platform of the current path East, bordering the Puerto de la Cadena, applying a gauge appropriate to this new infrastructure, rather than maintain the proposed project, it was through these mountains.

At the meeting, which took place at the Palais de Aguirre, has been President of the Autonomous Region, Ramón Luis Valcárcel, the mayor of Cartagena, Pilar Barreiro, MP and spokesperson for the Infrastructure Committee in Congress, Andres Ayala The Minister of Public Works, Antonio Seville and COEC president, Pedro Pablo Hernandez, who has also represented the Chamber of Commerce for the president's absence.

The mayor assured that this is the most feasible and objective, given the current economic situation, as against 1,000 million euros that were required for the project center, for which we propose the budget now is about 400 million as to the time difference of arrival will be a maximum of five minutes.

Barreiro said that we have found the desegradable surprise that verbal commitments made ​​by the previous Socialist government, specifically the White minister, that before the end of his term would be contracted projects and study the route of the AVE to Cartagena have not been fulfilled, there is no documentary support and therefore is still everything to do.

What it is maintained in the project is now coming to Cartagena Train Station, with the requirements that are already established in the Municipal General Management Plan of Cartagena, recently approved.
