- The extensive documentation of contracts of the Public entity of Development analyzed by Now Murcia shows that it was decided to cancel the contract for the burial and change it for one of arrival on the surface, a change that meant canceling a contract executed at 80%, having to pay the millionaire cost of the project that was discarded and returning to pay for the project on the surface

-This accumulation of projects, modifications and assistance "have meant more than 4.4 million euros paid for documents and reports that accumulate in ADIF boxes"

NOW MURCIA has informed the Prosecutor's Office of the study it has carried out on numerous contracts of ADIF, ADIF High Speed ​​and Development related to the arrival of the AVE in Murcia and the railway works.

In numerous documents analyzed by the municipal training, has been found the accumulation of technical contracts, drafting of projects and assistance paid by the bodies attached to the Ministry of Development in relation to railway works in Murcia and the arrival of high speed to the capital of the Segura.

A Now Murcia is especially striking the proposal of cancellation of the contract signed for the project of arrival of the buried AVE to Murcia, to replace it with a new contract of arrival on the surface, that is to say, the integral burial by the arrival of the AVE was abandoned. current level of the station, on the surface, all in documents and contracts processed between 2012 and 2014. There is no argument in this resolution that explains this change in criteria.

What is clear is that since September 2012 ADIF had already decided to bring the AVE on the surface.

Such change of criteria, on the other hand, meant canceling a contract that was already executed at 80%, to start a different one with a new expense.

This succession of events has meant that we have to pay a company the amount of 1,376,079'30 euros to settle a contract that remained unfinished, and return to pay another company for the contract for the arrival on the surface.

To these 1,376,079'30 euros for a project that has ended in a drawer, we must add the 299,300 euros of the "Informative Study of the Remodeling Project of the Railway Arterial Network of the City of Murcia", the 712,113.85 euros of the "Contract of assistance services for the drafting of the hydrogeological study of the arterial railway network of the city of Murcia", the 379,815.9 euros of the "Drafting of the Geological-Geotechnical Study", and the 27,216.5 euros of the "Contract of services for the realization of the cartography ", the 1.043.856'94 euros of the" Basic Project of Platform of the Remodeling of the Railway Arterial Network of the city of Murcia Phase I ", plus 103.730'40 euros of its modification.

To the above are added 455,867'77 euros of "Assistance services for the drafting of the construction project of the burial of the arterial railway network of the City of Murcia." New railway access of Levante. Madrid-Castilla la Mancha-Valencian Community-Region of Murcia "and 44,454 euros of the compensation for the annulment of the" Construction project for the suppression of the level crossing of Senda de los Garres. "New high-speed railway access of the Levante. Madrid-Castilla La Mancha- Comunidad Valenciana-Región de Murcia "

In short, and aside from money already allocated to the awarding of works contracts for the arrival of the AVE to the city of Murcia, it can be concluded that for this train to reach the city, in a stretch of only a few three kilometers of tracks that run from past the Reguerón junction to the station of El Carmen we have already spent, just in the drafting of the project, 4,442,434.66 euros of public money.

They are almost 1.5 million euros per kilometer of track spent simply on the project papers.
