The theft of wiring on the Madrid-Sevilla railway line has triggered criticism and accusations in Andalusia. The Government delegate in the region, Pedro Fernández, highlighted the effectiveness of the emergency device activated in response to this sabotage, while the Mayor of Valladolid, Óscar Puente, mentioned the lack of investment in railway infrastructure affecting the community.
The Socialist Party has emphasized the response to the crisis, while the President of the Junta de Andalucía, Juanma Moreno, has expressed his concern over the lack of investment in the region compared to other autonomous communities. Moreno pointed out the disconnection and the problems with railway communication that Andalusia is experiencing, even affecting the smallest provinces.
The debate centers on the unequal distribution of investments in railway infrastructure by the State, with Andalusia receiving a significantly lower percentage compared to other regions. Moreno has criticized the Ministry of Transport for what he considers discriminatory treatment towards Andalusia, which has impacted the region's image and connectivity.
The criticism has intensified due to recent problems in railway service, such as power cuts and cable thefts, which have left thousands of passengers stranded and generated discontent among the population. The Minister of Development, Rocío Díaz, has demanded more security on the line and greater attention to users. The Andalusian administration has stressed the need for investment and a comprehensive plan to improve the railway system.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, has defended the Government's actions in emergencies, dissociating the lack of investment from the problems experienced in the railway network. The situation has generated concern and anger in the region, with calls for better management and more resources to ensure safe and efficient railway transport.
