Campaign of social support for the return of the Guadix Baza Almanzora Lorca train, returning the train to the regions of «Empty Spain», with the Olympic walker María Pérez at the head.
«If the constant vindication of the railway collectives is necessary, it is essential the social support to achieve that the governments give priority to the reopening of the Guadix Baza Almanzora Lorca railway line», stated Amigos del Ferrocarril Comarca de Baza and Comarca de Guadix por el Tren in the presentation of this initiative, which seeks to achieve the maximum support of the different sectors of the «emptied» regions where the old railway line used to run.
Once the Informative Study for the reopening of the Lorca-Guadix Railway Corridor was launched at the beginning of the year, the aim is to visualise the socio-economic need for the return of the train to the south-eastern peninsular regions (and also the commitment to the sustainable public social train for the regions of Empty Spain). The society of these regions must continue to «press» the public authorities so that they do not relax on this issue, especially at a time when conventional train services are being dismantled.
Amigos del Ferrocarril Comarca de Baza and Comarca de Guadix por el Tren are asking all social sectors for a photograph with a message of support, which should be sent to vueltadeltren@gmail.com, although the sports sector is having a special role, coinciding with the designation of Baza as «European City of Sport 2022». The Olympic walker María Pérez is the spearhead of this campaign, in which clubs, associations, etc. are also participating. The different supports collected in this campaign will be sent to the Ministry of Transport and also to the companies in charge of carrying out the Informative Study for the reopening.
