The Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, has acknowledged, regarding the situation of the high-speed section in Castilla-La Mancha, that «there are still some things to unlock, although some of them are going well.»
In this sense, he added that the Ministry is working on «unlocking» the four Castilian-Manchego sections that, as he recalled, «would not be like this if the EIA had not been allowed to expire.»
«We are doing a job that we could have saved ourselves from if we had at least had the projects or some work done between Talayuela and Madrid, something we did not have when we came to power,» he pointed out as an example in this regard.
In this way, the minister has indicated in a statement to the media after visiting some works being carried out in the section of the N-630 as it passes through Mérida.
Likewise, Puente has indicated that he maintains the commitment that the third daily frequency service of the Alvia train in Extremadura will start operating «before the summer,» and he has also emphasized that it will have a stop in Plasencia (Cáceres).
