The President of the Autonomous Community, Ramón Luis Valcárcel, reiterated today during a traditional breakfast briefing provided to the media, who, in railway, "the regional government wants nothing more than High Speed because, he said," the current not a bird, is some unidentified bird. "

He insisted on claiming a high speed train arriving at the Region of Murcia by Cieza, while demanding that "the AVE for Murcia meeting the same criteria that you will enjoy the rest of the Spanish" and that " not limited to the 85 mph speed on some of its sections, as shown in the layout approved by Public Works.

During the ceremony, Valcárcel showed the agreement between the Chambers of Commerce, employers and the regional government in Murcia for the bird came to the region by Cieza and a path that allows the 300 kilometers per hour, at an event which was also attended by representatives of the PSOE.

Community President stressed that "the bird was a battle," the regional government, and that "since the PSOE find the lack of cooperation, criticism and obstruction."

Valcárcel claimed that "the Ministry's plans do not allow Murcia High Speed" and claimed that the AVE to reach the region be the same "we agreed in St. Stephen."

"And this is what I said at the Aznar government before and now I do with Zapatero," said regional chief executive, who announced that "if tomorrow governs the PP again, we will demand that the route is the one that has to be ".

As for the plot by Novelda, recalled that "what was agreed upon is to incorporate a separate freight via road passenger", and claimed that the route approved by the government led by Zapatero does not provide this option.

"We demand a third way, exclusive of goods, improving the connection with Torrellano and high-speed train service," said Valcarcel, who showed the allegations made by the Executive Murcia Ministry's proposal.

Three years of claims by the High Speed

Thus, in 2006, the Government responded to the study Murcia information from the Ministry of Development for maintaining the tunnel Elche on single track, double the capacity of rejecting it, which "strangles" the capacity of the line between the two provinces .

In addition, as suggested in this study report, there are limits to a maximum speed of 85 miles per hour between Crevillente and Elche, the government led by Zapatero has not been raised addressed.

Given the Ministry's plans, which do not allow the High Speed Murcia, and differ from the rail network features enjoyed by other regions, the regional government in December 2006 introduced a requirement prior to judicial review, claiming again a third way exclusive of goods, improving the connection with Torrellano and Cieza AVE through that reach 300-350 mph.

In 2007, the Ministry rejected the request, refusing to build a third track for freight, requiring that they continue coming through Cieza Murcia and Chinchilla, instead of incorporating the Mediterranean corridor.

In response to this decision, on 5 October 2007 by the Governing Council authorized the filing of an appeal by the contentious-administrative appeal against the approval of the draft study report of the AVE line that would link Madrid, Castilla La Mancha, the Valencia and Murcia.

Finally, in 2008, claims submitted to the casting stage construction project of the Good Life-Murcia, which is affecting the region, asking, again, the third lane of traffic exclusive merchandise, as well as improving territorial permeability.

Some allegations of Murcia regional government have been almost three years later, attended by the Ministry of Development.
