La estación de Murcia stopped operating in 1974, in 1992 a land transfer agreement was approved, and in 2026 the tracks are still there. On April 13, the residents of Alicante woke up expectant because the Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, was in the city to present, together with the mayor Luis Barcala and the president of the Generalitat, Juanfran Pérez Llorca, the long-awaited Central Park project. Days later, Puente himself announced the tendering of a contract to advance another key project: the Torrellano variant.

The PSPV-PSOE spokesperson in the Valencian Corts, José Muñoz, has denounced that the president of the Generalitat, Pérez Llorca, “has hidden” from the Valencian people that the Government of Pedro Sánchez approved in February an advance of 200 million euros on account of the settlement of the financing system to help him pay the bills for health, education, and social services. The information, explains the PSPV, comes after reviewing the official documentation sent by the Ministry of Finance to the socialist group in the Corts, and the Finance resolution to the request of the regional government stipulates that the advance granted “will be canceled when the payment of the settlement of the financing system corresponding to 2024 is made.”
