More than ever, we want to express our firmness not to abandon the fight against the serious problem that affects us.
The houses of 30 families are still in danger due to this new route of the AVE that nobody in the administrations, nor Adif, nor the Government, is capable of reasoning.
Returning to the 2011 route that was on the table for 7 years and that only affected 3 homes and that was approved by Adif to be included in the General Urban Planning Plan is the only viable option for consensus.
Since Adif was not notified pertinently the change of route skipped all informative loss and transparency law and the municipal government and those affected only we have proof of this new layout since the publication of the Official Gazette of April 12, 2018 emergency expropriation procedure of this new layout
Our administrative resources (for which we only had 15 days to interpose), are not answered and we are openly acknowledged that they are filed since the law does not oblige them to do so.
In the meetings that have taken place to date, ADIF does not clarify any technical or economic argument of any weight that we believe justifies this excessive damage to citizenship.
The only thing that seems to promote this layout is the rush and precipitation for financial reasons, and considering how advanced the 2011 project was and how deficient it is still the design and drafting of the 2018 route, we do not understand that with the coherent decisions already made in cities such as Murcia and Lorca, we are not heard when the only thing we ask is to return to a first layout that is much less harmful to the municipality and totally viable and whose wording already contemplated the replacement of infrastructures and municipal technical nuances.
After the visit last Tuesday by the Delegate of the Government, Diego Conesa, we have no news of the steps taken or the situation in which the process is.
During this week, there are many examples of support from neighbors, groups and political formations.
Without going any further, last weekend, they visited us to get interested in the problem, the Regional Coordinator of the United Left, José Luis Ălvarez Castellanos, as well as the Speaker in the Assembly of Citizens, Miguel Sánchez.
We ask Pedro Saura publicly to listen to us and agree to meet with us in order to clarify the position of the Ministry of Development and give us the relevant explanations.
We reiterate our firm intention not to take a step back, since we are supported by reason and justice.
We will also continue with the Wednesday gatherings at 8:00 pm at the door of the City Council, supporting the unanimous plenary agreement adopted by all the municipal groups to demand a return to the 2011 layout.
We must make it very clear that we are not negotiating compensation or partial compensation, we are defending our homes, which are part of our lives and that have no price in the market.
Above all, knowing well that there is the alternative of the previous route that would save the homes of thirty families in Totana.
We call on Totanera and regional society to accompany us and support the convocation of each Wednesday with our weekly demonstrations, because this is a problem for all of us and we need the solidarity of our neighbors.
