The #QuieroCorredor Movement, promoted by the Valencian Association of Entrepreneurs (AVE), has launched this Friday a campaign under the slogan “Vote what you vote, vote for the Mediterranean Corridor”, in which it has invited all voters to take into account the importance of achieving the Mediterranean Corridor when choosing their ballot at the polls next Sunday.
The Mediterranean Corridor is a railway infrastructure (the set of tracks, sleepers, catenaries and everything necessary to allow trains to run through them) “unfinished and incomplete, with more than 20 years of accumulated delays in its works”, according to the association, which runs between Algeciras and the French border, linking the cities of Barcelona, Valencia, Alicante, Murcia and Malaga, and connecting them with the rest of Europe.
After analyzing the electoral programs of the main parties, from the Movimiento Quiero Corredor they have wanted to “encourage, at this crucial moment, a reflection on the importance of the Mediterranean Corridor as an infrastructure that will complete radial Spain with circular Spain; which in turn will allow all citizens and territories to be more and better connected and that will boost the economy, tourism and employment”, according to a press release.
Therefore, it considers it inadmissible that it has more than 25 years of accumulated delays. This campaign for the vote for the Mediterranean Corridor comes just one week after the end of the Labyrinth of Delays tour, an “immersive experience also promoted by the Quiero Corredor Movement with a stop in the cities of Cartagena, Antequera, Barcelona and Alicante where more than 4,000 people managed to overcome the challenges and obstacles involved in completing the works on the Mediterranean Corridor, obtaining 2,539 new signatures for its completion and exceeding 200 for the first time. 000 adhesions”, says the informative note.
“Also this July, the First Semi-Annual Check of the Works of the Mediterranean Corridor of 2023 has been published to visualize and denounce the biggest problems and delays in the infrastructure, section by section,” he adds.

The commissioner of the Government of the Government for the development of the Mediterranean Corridor, Josep Vicente Boira, assures that the historical delay of the infrastructure has been reversed as of 2018. From that year until 2023, everything is planned and 85% under construction. The expected completion date is 2030.
