“This is the punishment to which Óscar Puente wants to subject Valladolid, multiplied by several tunnels of fear.” And a photo of one of the city’s tunnels in which you can see a homeless person trying to sleep. This is how the PP of Valladolid City Hall criminalizes the homeless through the Puente social network, after the ADIF gave the City Hall (PP-Vox) one month to comply with its economic and administrative obligations , otherwise it will dissolve the Valladolid Alta Velocity Company (SVAV), which is the one leading the railway integration.
This message was retweeted by the mayor of Valladolid and several of his regional advisors: Francisco Blanco, from the Treasury; Carolina del Bosque, of Youth; Blanca Jiménez, municipal spokesperson and Tourism advisor; and the councilor and deputy of Valladolid Mercedes Cantalapiedra.
The opposition demanded the removal of the message, calling it “indecent”, in the words of the Socialist Group spokesperson, Pedro Herrero. “This photo is absolutely shameful, and even more shameful is the attitude of the PP of the Valladolid City Council government who took it and published it. Hate crime? asks Councilor Rafi Romero, who headed social services when she was in municipal government. The municipal councilor of Valladolid Take the Word, Rocío Anguita, criticizes the PP that “everything is not happening” to defend its political projects. “Using a photo of a homeless person in one of the railway tunnels is vile and demonstrates great moral turpitude,” he said.
The Valladolid lawyer of the Joint Group of Cortes de Castilla y León Francisco Igea also regretted that the “loneliness and misery” of a person “abandoned to his fate” had been “exploited” as a political strategy.
This message was published after suspending media attention twenty minutes before the scheduled time to avoid questions related to the absence of the mayor of Valladolid, Jesús Julio Carnero, in this meeting with Adif, Renfe, the Ministry and the Junta of Castilla y León. Neither the Valladolid councilor nor the Urban Planning councilor, Ignacio Zarandona, traveled to Madrid, although the latter attended the meeting electronically.
What they did not expect was the presence of the minister and former mayor of Valladolid, Óscar Puente, who has repeatedly defended railway integration due to cost and time (1,570 million and a minimum of 17 years) that his burial would entail. . The report that the municipal government team commissioned from a company owned by certain parents of senior officials in the government of Isabel Díaz Ayuso estimated that the burial would cost 565 million and could be carried out in 6 years maximum, which the ADIF completely excluded due to its “lack of rigor”, with the “dream” that it would take six years to bury railway tracks and which uses a rule of three to calculate the cost of burial even if the process does not have “the slightest similarity” with other works.
