Neither galgo nor hunting dog

We have been with the "summer snake" over the TAV for a few weeks and with the possibility of linking the "Basque Y" from Pamplona, from Ezkio or Vitoria.

It is disappointing to see that our People continue to depend on decisions concerned and not supported by the galgos and hunting dogs that continue to defend this project. These decisions waste public resources, are ecologically sound and destroy the territories. Moreover, more than three decades after the imposition of the APR in other territories of the Kingdom of Spain, public and social rail services are in a regrettable situation in all autonomous communities.

Navarre, its inhabitants and businesses, do not need the TAV to transport people and goods by rail with optimum quality. Since the Subai Erakuntza Foundation, we have demonstrated this in the two reports published a few years ago.

The existence of parties that support the budgets with allocations to the TAV and the rejection of the autonomous institutions and the state and regional institutions to this project makes it clear that only the popular movement and the municipalities that are against the TAV are in the hands of paralysing the works and turning the ones that are already made, an honest and effective fight.

No new stations are needed either in Tudela or in Pamplona. What has been built up so far must return to the situation in Navarra before the beginning of the works of the TAV

All parties represented in Navarre and the Basque Autonomous Community have recognised that the connection between Pamplona and Ezkio through Aralar will not be built. The responsible ministry has made it clear, since the last government of Mariano Rajoy, that: the "greyhounds" have lost it. Now, "hunting dogs" must assume that the TAV is not built between Pamplona and Vitoria-Gasteiz.

The rail model representing both routes is the same. It is a question of recognising the economic waste, corruption, the destruction of the territory and the biodiversity generated by the TAV and recognising that not only the parties that have opted for it, but also the trade unions, the means of propaganda, etc., have contributed in this way to the private benefits of corrupt construction companies, engineers, banks and politicians.

No new stations are needed either in Tudela or in Pamplona. What has been built up so far has to go back to the situation in Navarra before the start of the works of the TAV.

The alternative that we defend from the root is the Public and Social Train, and other groups are also betting on it. Taking advantage of the existing routes, reopening the stations and attractions, starting the right trains and investing from property and public management in the recovery of resources, material and personnel.
