The PP of Cantabria has promoted a striking initiative to show its criticism of the Renfe and Adif trains that do not fit in the Asturias and Cantabria tunnels due to a dimension error. The popular have distributed a tape measure in a box in which you can read: «For the Cantabrians it would be important that Mr. Revilla measure well with whom he has agreed, because in Cantabria things are stuck. Like the trains, go». They have also given this utensil to the Cantabrian president, Miguel Ángel Revilla, explaining that in the region things they are stuck».
These gift boxes have reached the media and different recipients in full controversy over the trains.
Renfe signed a contract in the summer of 2020 for €258 million to buy 31 Feve trains (narrow gauge), to run between Cantabria and Asturias, which have not yet been delivered. The reason is that they are too big to fit through the tunnel; a tunnel of metric width and in which there are many narrow tubes drilled in the 19th century. The PP of Cantabria blames the Government of Pedro Sánchez, specifically the Minister of Transport, Mobility and the Urban Agenda, Raquel Sánchez.
In the last plenary session in the Parliament of Cantabria, the popular ones gave Revilla the tape measure, so that “Pedro Sánchez’s trains fit in our tunnels”, snapped the president of the party in the region and candidate for the regional Presidency, Mary Jose Saenz of Buruaga.
Buruaga also urged the regional president to “take the measure” of his partner, Pedro Sánchez. Revilla governs in collation with the PSOE.
“Mr. Revilla, take a good look at who you have agreed with because things in Cantabria are stuck, like trains,” Buruaga told Revilla as he showed him his “small gift” from the rostrum, so that it would be “useful” in the little what remains of the legislature
The popular leader considered that the “responsibilities to be assumed are political and political” and not technical, which would be, in her opinion, the “scapegoat” from what has occured.
“They are sold out”
Buruaga accused Revilla of trying to evade his responsibility for this “gross” and trying to solve it with “fuss” and asking “that heads roll to pass the buck”, something that, according to the popular leader, the regionalist does “always”.
«This does not give more of itself. You and your government are exhausted and the Cantabrians are tired, as any sane person would be, of the projects that take forever, of your demagogic occurrences and your gigantic clumsiness. There is no other way out than a change that is increasingly urgent in the community, ”the regional president of the PP settled.
