In the dossier to Minister Ábalos will be attached the report commissioned in 2014 by the Prosoterramiento Platform to the currently councilor of Now Murcia Angeles Micol, which analyzes the project of arrival of the AVE on the surface, a report that supposed the beginning of the investigations judicial and complaints filed

The extension and modification contracts of the project awarded to Aldesa and those approved by ADIF will also be attached, as proof of the serious breaches that would be incurred if the AVE arrived without burying the city

NOW MURCIA will ask in writing to the new Minister of Public Works, José Luis Ábalos, that the AVE will only arrive in Murcia underground "and in no case on the surface".

The municipal training will send the next days a dossier to the new position of the Government of Spain requesting that the works of arrival in surface of the AVE to the city of Murcia not continue "and it is happened to realize a project that adjusts to the legality, fulfilling the protocol signed in 2006 for the underground entrance of the high-speed train in the city instead of on the surface with provisional track ".

In the dossier to the new Ministry of Public Works, the report commissioned in 2014 by the Prosoterramiento Platform will be attached to the current councilor of Ahora Murcia Angeles Micol, in which the project of arrival of the AVE on the surface to the city of Murcia is analyzed. awarded to Aldesa, a report that marked the beginning of the judicial investigations and the complaints presented.

The extension and modification contracts of the project awarded to Aldesa and those approved by ADIF will also be attached, as proof of the serious breaches that would be incurred if the AVE arrived without burying the city.

For Now Murcia "is clear that since September 2012 ADIF had already decided to bring the AVE on the surface, a change of criteria that meant canceling a contract that was already executed at 80%, costing the public coffers about a million and a half euros that have gone to the garbage, a waste that Murcia now reported in the Office of the Public Prosecutor in November last year, as they have spent 4.4 million euros on projects and reports of the works of the AVE to Murcia. , for its part, was made without any argument to justify it. "

From the municipal formation they affirm that "the AVE must arrive to Murcia underground as it establishes the Protocol signed in 2006 by the authorities, but mainly because this is how it was established in the 'Informative Study of the Remodeling Project of the Railway Arterial Network of the City of Murcia 'and in the Environmental Impact Statement (DIA) of said informative study, both published in the Official State Gazette ".

"However," they explain, "the project for the arrival without burying was done without the mandatory Environmental Impact Study (EIA), so the effects of the placement of a 25,000 volt catenary, nor the effect of one-way vibration on

surface by which the AVE will circulate, nor the effect of the wall screen.

That the current project does not have such a study supposes a serious irregularity that is in full conflict with article 35 of Law 21/2013, of December 9, on environmental evaluation.

They are arguments and explanations that from Now Murcia we have been giving repeatedly since our arrival at the Corporation ".

Faced with the law, the project of arrival of the AVE on the surface has not evaluated the consequences of, "for at least five years, the population of the southern neighborhoods of the city of Murcia, tens of thousands of people, The impact, its geographic area and population that may be affected, its vulnerability, and the duration and reversibility of the effects have not been assessed.

Therefore, "doing something different, such as bringing the AVE on the surface just by taking an inauguration photo or because this may be convenient for a future privatization of the rail service is, in addition to a great political irresponsibility, an authentic illegality due to the violation of the Spanish environmental regulations ".
