The Minister of Transport and Urban Mobility, Oscar Bridgehas now denied that the government has ruled out the train High Speed between Huelva and Seville in the face of accusations from the PP in the Senate, assuring that the informative study is currently being processed and accusing the former “popular” executive of Mariano Rajoy of its delay.
This is what the minister said on Tuesday, although he has publicly ruled out this rail link on several occasions. Thus, last April, the minister ruled it out because he assured that “it doesn’t pay off”, which requires a “brutal” investment and that it only serves to gain “ten minutes”
The minister took this new turn in the Government monitoring session in the Senate, after PP senator Juan Manuel González Camacho asked him “the reason why the government has ruled out the high-speed train between Huelva and Seville”, accusing Sánchez’s executive of not investing in this infrastructure between the two Andalusian cities.
Puente reprimanded the PP senator, asking “where did he get it from that the high-speed train between Huelva and Seville is parked,” specifying that the informative study of the section is being processed.
Furthermore, he criticized the “popular” parliamentarian for criticizing the fact that no investment has been made in this sector, assuring that There was already an informative study of this section in 2008 and three years later the projects were being developed.
“And what happened? Well then you came to government and you are paralyzed absolutely the processing of the necessary documents to bring the High Speed to Huelva and the environmental impact statement have expired. And that is why today we find ourselves in the situation of having to return start from scratch”, Bridge censored.
All this debate took place with the mayor of Huelva, the “popular” party Pilar Mirandain the guest gallery of the Senate chamber, which provoked a reproach from the minister during his speech.
And Puente made ugly what he uses public money go to the Senate to hear this issue in the Upper House when, as he said, other channels of communication with the Ministry can be used to address this issue.
This controversy has reached PP and PSOE benches who clashed over the minister’s comments about the mayor of Huelva and the president of the Senate, the “popular” Pedro Rollán, even had to intervene on several occasions.
