Bridge denounces that Ayuso opens but does not inaugurate the station of Metro Line 3 so as not to invite it | News from Madrid

The desired entry into service of, in Getafe, has been made on Monday of Tapadillo, without fanfare, without official photo and without an inauguration act, despite assuming the end of 22 years of a bottleneck of Metro, which today has a second connection with Madrid, and the largest work of expansion in the suburban network of the last decade. The Community of Madrid was going to celebrate an act at half past eleven in the morning, but it has been canceled without any explanation and replaced by a few tweets of rigor, of the, of (CRTM) and of which the opening of the opening from the opening of service at sixteen and five in the morning, to which there have been a praiseful statements of the president, Isabel Díaz Díaz Ayuso.

The reason? , the regional government has done it because “Ayuso prefers that you do not know who finances them” “the bulk of the work corresponds to the central government through the European funds Next Generation – and because” he does not want a joint act “in which the also leader of the Madrid PSOE” can have a voice. ” According to the Regional Government, the act has been innocently canceled and “for agenda”, since today a coincidence occurred: two acts of subway on the same day, with ayuso at half past ten in the morning in Columbus in the exhibition New Metro de Madrid train, which shows that it will circulate through the L-6. Again, a clash between the central government and that of Madrid and, again, on the account of the transport.

“Ayuso prepared an inauguration to his greatest glory, avoiding the Government of Spain, which is the one who finances the work, and also with the recovery funds that Pedro Sánchez fought in Europe and that the PP and she herself tried to boycott,” he said in X Puente that, upon learning of the act by the invitation sent by the regional government to the General Secretariat of Terrestrial Transportation, asked his head of protocol to communicate and I would take the floor. The result was the annulment of the act for “agenda change”, according to a WhatsApp conversation published by the minister between the Ayuso government and his head of protocol.

“If there has been no inauguration, it is because Ayuso prefers not to know who finances them [la ampliación y la nueva estación] And because he does not want a joint act with me in which I can have a voice, ”concludes the minister. Asked about this newspaper, Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, chief of the Cabinet of Ayuso, has denied that an eventual presence of the minister is behind the changes in the agenda.“ He did not know that Puente had planned to go down to the subway, ”said Rodríguez, who added that the one of El Casar was eliminated, of an infinite Two redundant acts: Columbus car and leave for Getafe. ”Also to questions from El País, the Ministry of Transport has deepened in this version: the act is canceled“ for agenda, two subway acts were repetitive and the subway model, the future of the new trains, was chosen.

For whatever reasons, ayuso, that and in, it has let out the opportunity to cut an important tape and to write down some works that have supposed 129 million euros of investment, of which “89.7 come from European funds, the rest of the community”, the Ministry told this newspaper. , Ayuso has celebrated that “the huge 36 -month work that has allowed this second connection of municipalities in the South with the capital” and stressed that “the work has been carried out in record time thanks to the sequential method, which allows great progress simultaneously in the entire work in different sections.”

“I want to congratulate the more than 2,000 operators, Metro staff, to the Ministry of Transportation as well as all the companies involved [un consorcio formado por las empresas Ossa, Azvi y Cotodisa]”Ayuso said, without making any reference or the co -financing of the project or the successive delays due to changes in excavation methods and the appearance of water leaks.

The regional government trusted the works at Christmas, but the location in October of leaks at a point in the tunnel as it passes through Madrid delayed the opening. First, the regional executive said it would occur in the first quarter of 2025, but has not been able to do it until Monday due to new delays caused by the rains of March.

As the Transport spokeswoman has certified to this newspaper, the start -up has produced “without incident.” At seven in the morning, Metro tweet, to those who have followed other messages of celebration of, of the and of the. Alien to the controversy, the Casar already works “as one more stop” and has received the visit of some curious and trains fans, who have approached “to prove” the service, as they have told Europa Press workers of the consortium deployed in Villaverde Alto and in the new new station, where the trains have arrived “normally”. Throughout the route, a message for megaphony is being issued in which “attention” is requested to travelers in the face of the new end of journey.

There are still cracks of the old layout: automatic megaphony still indicates the “route end” in Villaverde Alto and the signaling of the wagons ignores the new stop ,. Transport says that Metro works during the trains today to add marriage to his graphics, something that has not been done before “because confusion did not want to generate.” To avoid mistakes, drivers indicate by speakers that there is still one more stop. “This train circulates to the Casar, to the Casar,” a driver repeated in an almost empty train.

The expansion, which includes a tunnel of 2.62 kilometers, allows meter to provide a new entrance alternative to Madrid, so that more than one million travelers from Getafe, Leganés, Móstoles, Alcorcón and Fuenlabrada. It also benefits the more than 47,000 residents of Villaverde Alto, who can move faster towards the great municipalities of the South.

Until now, Metro, and that unites five municipalities, only had a connection with Madrid at Puerta del Sur (L-10 and L-12). The new station has a pedestrian tunnel that connects with the Cercanías facilities-where the C-3 that connects Aranjuez with the art station, Sol and the north of the capital-and a surface parking lot for more than 500 seats with recharge for electric cars is taken. It also allows to rearrange the Getafe bus network, improving the transport of the residents of the mills. Will it continue? “No,” the spokeswoman has rejected, once again folded to the historic claim of this district of Getafe.
