It is confirmed that the steps to be able to present the project of the Via Verde del Chicharra are long overdue, following recent statements by the government team.For IU Verdes, the work to be able to present the project and obtain financing for the Via Verde project has been done very slowly and has only progressed somewhat recently.
There has been more than enough time to have the necessary land since 2003-2004 and both the PP in the legislature that had the responsibility and the PSOE in the rest, have had time and are not exactly any example of true will to make that project a reality.In October 2015, five years ago an initiative of IU Verdes was debated and approved to resume or start because hardly anything had been done, the procedures to dispose of the land and we have arrived almost until last year without doing much.It is truly unfortunate that a project that passes through so many municipalities (from Cieza to Muro de Alcoy) has only one municipality in which there is so much delay, as is Jumilla.
The public administration (the City Council too), has many resources to be able to carry out such a project and in the opinion of IU Verdes, neither the PP nor the PSOE have the intention of being firm in a negotiation, in the search for possible reasonable alternatives to the current layout, or expropriations if necessary, in order to carry out this project.
If things are done with rigor and will, the necessary land could be obtained in one way or another and there would be no individual or entity that could hinder the project.
You just have to ask the necessary questions and with enough time,something that seems distant or impossible with the current PSOE government team or with the PP.For IU Verdes, the Jumillans have to see how for any electric line of the many that seems to be installed in our municipal area, being private companies who promote them, public utility declarations are obtained, it is expropriated for little money and They install, while a project of general interest for the tourism issue, has not managed it in a similar way for all these years.
