Make A Eye Appointment

The shadow of a ghost

Some media Europeans have recently echoed the scandal emerged around the national mausoleum waste: Airport Don Quijote de Ciudad Real.

involved public administrations and entrepreneurs stand out badly: runway of 4,000 m, 1,100 Meu invested, various subsidies, 24,000 m2 terminal to accommodate 2 million passengers a year, 24 desks, nearly 300 direct and indirect , only 2,000 passengers per month and three weekly flights, in a town with 75,000 inhabitants.

This unfortunate investment was made possible by the collusion of businessmen close to regional power, governments and regional institutions, except the city of Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha, Ciudad Real Airport Company, awarded the work, which are business partners of the brick-one of them highly praised because the BM Ciudad Real has managed several European championships.

Today, no one knows how to solve, absurd: it blamed on the state budget or the autonomous region? In either cases, English Juan or Juan de la Mancha are pagans. It could have been worse, if he had not crippled the entertainment complex Reino de Don Quijote.

AENA manages 48 airports, most losses, including Huesca, Albacete, Burgos, Logroño, Vitoria y León, all between 6,000 and 95,000 passengers in 2009. In Galicia there are three airports in just 150 km. and the attempt to reopen Rozas: examples of waste, always unacceptable, but when using public money and paint rough on the economy.

already expressed my opinion about the future of airports in Galicia, the lack of stroke in Labacolla-or at least motorway, the destination Alvedro Peinador and when at last, comes the AVE and the possible functions of the two alternatives .

it serve as a warning disaster Ciudad Real?, "Remember the Galician cemetery built in the Gaiás waste?, What will they say those who defend and Alvedro Peinador increases when the AVE to Galicia?, What about the ports of Ferrol and Coruña, 15 miles from each other?, What will the fate of the university mushrooms planted at the request of local authorities, given the declining demographics in Galicia?

Resources are scarce and the multiple needs: how hard is to prioritize effectively for the benefit of the community and not at the request of each voter.
