Granada protests after 700 days without a train

 

Granada protests after 700 days without a train

thinkSPAIN Team 13/03/2017

Granada protests after 700 days without a train
AN ESTIMATED 7,000 people took to the streets in Granada yesterday (Sunday) to protest over their rail connection having been disbanded nearly two years ago and to call for better infrastructure serving the Alhambra city.

If the headcount is correct, this means 10 protesters for every day Granada has been without a train marched from the Puerta Real to the station on the Avenida de Andaluces.

The demonstration was organised by the so-called Marea Amarilla ('Yellow Wave'), a series of 'waves' or social action groups in different colours depending upon the cause they are fighting for – for example, the Marea Blanca ('white wave') represents healthcare.

As well as the train service being connected again, the marchers want the promised southern bypass in Loja to be built, the railway line to be underground, and the high-speed AVE train to extend to the city.

The blockage on all three of these, and the scrapping of the train, was a decision that came from the ministry of public works in Madrid.

Councillors from United Left (IU), Podemos, Ciudadanos and the socialists or PSOE – who are in local government in Granada – joined the march.
