Dear citizens of Burgos, … However, from Aranda de Duero and Segovia, who were driven to the capital by this concentration, restarting this infrastructureis very fundamental to the economic and social development of this land.
The demonstration was supported by a wide range of representatives of Burgos society, including representatives of Burgos society. Burgos City Council and Aranda de Duerothe Burgos Federation of Economic Associations (FAE) and the Burgos Civic Association (Socibur), responsible for organizing this demonstration. similarly Burgos University and Chamber of Commerceexplained why Burgos and Aranda de Duero need this infrastructure.
Some have expressed the importance of moving away from the “political colors” and focusing on the residents of the province, and that the reopening of this line will not only benefit Burgos, but also Spain.
Antonio Linje, Mayor of Aranda de Duero (Burgos), also visited the area and recalled the importance of infrastructure for the region’s “present and future”. “Because someone decided so, we are endangering the development and the survival and integration of Burgos, the first industrial hub of Castile and León,” the mayor lamented.
“Executable”
Linahé reminded citizens that Burgos is at a “transcendental moment” towards reopening the Direct, as the time has come to hand over the “colophon” to the feasibility study. Along these lines, he pointed out that the Aranda de Duero City Council has published a study that “technically proves that this line is viable and profitable from an economic point of view.” This study is complemented and supported by another study conducted by the FAE. “What else do we have to prove to the people of Burgos?” he added.
Deputy Mayor Juan Manuel Manzo also spoke on behalf of all political groups in the City Council. “This fight is still alive because we are right: through train is not a whim, it is a strategic necessity for the present and industrial economic future of our country,” the city councilor said.
This reminded him of the events of 15 years ago when the Somosierra tunnel collapsed and the batter was trapped. He therefore regretted that “specific issues” became “an excuse to shut down the entire line.”
president of Direct train platformJorge Nuñez regrets that, “Through political decisions, we have created a country where there are first-class citizens and third-class citizens.” “Today, politics does not want to connect the community of Madrid with the province of Burgos, which is only 45 kilometers away, and does not want the community of Madrid to benefit from a natural corridor to Europe,” he considered.
