VIDEO | PSOE calls for urgent investment to reactivate Puerto Seco de Linares – Linares28 – El diario digital de Linares

Socialist Senator Jose Latorre denounced today that El Puerto Seco de Linares “is an abandoned monument, a la desidia ya la mentira de Juanma Moreno and his government group”, because “these lands have been abandoned by the Consejería de Industria”. “La Junta de Andalucía has invested more than 60 million euros in dry ports throughout the community since 2019, of which zero euros have been allocated to the Linares Dry Port,” said the senator.

Latorre recalled that for this year's budget, the Andalusian government “did not think to include a single euro in this infrastructure”, so the Socialist Party presented an amendment to the budgets of the Andalusian Junta, which “destinen la inversión necessaria para” terminar el Puerto Seco de Linares.

Jose Latorre noted that “this infrastructure is fundamental for Linares and a strategic project for goods in the state of Jaén”. “Si la Junta puerto seco desarrollo este, los trenes de van a passar, pero sin pararse, y eso es una falta de oportunidades”.

Therefore, he explained that “we are in front of what is happening at the moment in the two governments, in Spain and Andalusia” and recalled that “a few weeks ago the Spanish government announced the implementation of works to modernize these lines and adapt the tunnels that pass through the state of Jaén, so that that it may be a highway for goods connecting us with the port of Algeciras, the rest of Spain, and all of Europe.”

In total, 30 million euros of permanent electricity and 13 tunnels from 8 countries in the province of Jaén. All this is added to the modernization of the Jaén-Alcazar de San Juan-Madrid railway line already carried out by the government of Pedro Sánchez, “we are in an important core for the transport of goods for the Iberian Peninsula” and the connection con uno de los más importantes, que es el de Algeciras “.

For his part, Javier Perales assures that Puerto Seco de Linares “will be a great infrastructure that will dynamize the local economy, but the same” as the expropriations made by the Partido Socialista when governing Andalusia. Moreno Bonilla years no invertido ni un euro”. “Reject la ciudad de Linares, está atraco que está perpetrando en la ciudad de Linares”.

However, in an extraordinary plenum to be held next Friday at the Linares City Hall, it was announced that the PSOE will request the identification of 2.3 million euros for the logistics areas of Puerto Seco de Linares, because “Es” importante que se recognizca y que tenga partida presupuestaria” .
