Call for mobilizations on March 22
The Platform for Trains and Transports worthy of Terres de l’Ebre and Priorat has decided to organize rallies in various stations in Catalonia next Saturday, March 22. This action is a response to the lack of ‘immediate solutions’ with regard to the southern runner of Rodalies, which according to members of the platform, has reached a collapse point that seriously affects the users of Tarragona, Ebro and Priorat.
Deplorable conditions and demand for improvements
The representatives of the platform have described the situation as ‘very serious’, emphasizing that the conditions of the infrastructure are inappropriate and need urgent care. “The neglect on the part of the authorities is palpable,” they said, emphasizing that the current situation is outrageous for any service user.
Reaction from policy makers
Although the platform has evaluated the apologies issued by the President of the Generalitat, Salvador Illa, as well as the Minister of Territory, Sílvia Paneque, and the director of Rodalies, Antonio Carmona, have made it clear that they are not enough. “This is not apologies, but specific actions that must be implemented immediately,” they insisted.
A call to collective action
In addition to the programmed mobilizations, the Catalan National Assembly (ANC) has announced its own manifestation for April 5 at the Sants station in Barcelona, to protest the ‘chaos’ that has been installed in the commuter system. This action seeks to unite voices in a common demand for service improvements.
The importance of efficient management
The Trains Dignes platform has concluded that the goal is simple: ‘We require effective management that guarantees a decent service for all users’. With this commitment, they expect authorities to take immediate measures to resolve the critical situation of rail transport in the region.
Final reflection on the future of transportation
With the imminent mobilization and the support of entities such as the ANC, the Platform for Digid Trains and Transports not only seeks solutions, but also to generate a wider debate on the importance of quality public transport in Catalonia. Its struggle is a reminder that an efficient transport system is essential for the development and well -being of any community.
