They claimed that in the face of the project that will pass through the Álava Valley there are more sustainable and economic alternatives, such as the adequacy of existing railway lines. The high-speed train projects avoided the tunnels and viaducts they intend to build in Álava and demanded that the quality of life of rural villages be guaranteed.

They called on the entire population of Álava to mobilize in the face of this project that is going to cause serious damage to the Alaveses Valleys, with the aim of saving ‘a few minutes’ in time.

Collection of ongoing signatures
