The groups Friends of the Railway Baza Region, Guadix Region for the Train and the social mobilisation La Revolution of the Empty Spain, launched a contest called «Letters to the President of the Government for the return of the train Guadix Baza Almanzora Lorca» which has been addressed to the students of the municipalities of the old railway line, unjustly closed almost 38 years ago. The response has been very positive, so much so that by the deadline three hundred letters had been received. Most of them have been sent to Primary and Secondary schools in the Almería and Granada regions, although some letters have also arrived from the region of Murcia.
The arguments to «convince» Pedro Sánchez of the reopening of this railway line have been very varied, although the predominant themes have been the elimination of environmental pollution, the creation of jobs in these regions, the improvement of connections with other territories, the promotion of tourism, and there have even been allusions to refilling the «emptied regions».
All the letters received will be sent to La Moncloa, demanding a response from the President. Moreover, those selected in the contest will be awarded in the act of vindication for the train that will take place next December 31st at 12 noon in the old station of Baza.
