- The president of the CAV has called the presidents of Cantabria, Asturias and Galicia to a meeting to analyse the situation, among other things, because the high-speed train will not be connected at the moment in Hendaia.
The Cantabrian Summit was qualified this Monday by the presidents of the CAPV, Asturias, Cantabria and Galicia. They will meet on the proposal of Iñigo Urkullu and, inter alia, analyse the impact of long delays in the construction of the high-speed train.
The objective of the meeting is to give a "unity image" to the Spanish Government, as explained by sources from the Presidency. According to Bingen Zupiria, spokesman for the Basque Government, Urkullu remains "concerned" about the lack of connection of the TAV, because the Atlantic territories may be "marginalized".
The French Government announced last January, by means of a report, that it will delay the construction of the route between Dax and Irun since 2030 2042.era. However, the Urkullu executive has fired the alarms two months later; the works of the TAV began in 2009 in the Alavesa town of Urbina.
According to the research group of the UPV/EHU Ekopol, the low population densities south of Bordeaux and the number of passengers and goods today make a high-speed route economically, and less socially, profitable in the Atlantic corridor.
