This model is clear to the representatives of the platform working for the social train in Tafalla: what the Government of Spain, the Autonomous Community of La Rioja and ADIF (Administrator of Railway Infrastructures of Spain) have now done to unite Castejón and Logroño. The railway line will be reinstated, but with the existing infrastructure and with a maximum speed of 200 kilometres per hour, the train will be re-circulating.

This is, in essence, what defenders of the Navarre social train have demanded since they presented the project base in 2018. The question of the organizers of the Tafalla meeting is clear: “What serves to unite Castejón and Logroño, why doesn’t it serve Casteeled–Tatreatments–Iruñea-Vitoria? Why does what serves La Rioja not serve Navarre?”

With the High-Performance Project currently underway to unite Castejón and Iruñea, several towns would be left without current railway stations, such as Tafalla and Alsasua, so the citizens are mobilizing to demand a public and social train.

Below you can see the tweet of EH's Foreign Parliamentarian Bildu Adolfo Araiz:

Again, hundreds of people have come together against the works of the TAV and in defence of a social train in the Middle Zone. If in La Rioja it is possible to reshape the current path in Navarre as well, only political will is needed to stop the waste of the TAV. #AHTrikEZ pic.twitter.com/k7PSgWVhx4
