After over 500 local business owners in Granada gathered one Monday to protest over the lack air and rail links in the city, politicians have suddenly awoken.

As this dearth of communication is a direct result on political inability, it seems, representatives from most political parties came out in support of the disgruntled business sector to proclaim “we’re all in the same boat.”

Perhaps not the best choice words because although provincial politicians might see themselves “in the same “boat,” they’re certainly not in the same “train or aircraft.”

But politicians being… themselves, they had different takes on the situation. The socialists, for example, said that they had been pressing the Central Govenment, which is run by their party, whereas the PP took the opportunity criticise Madrid and demand a “plan of action to end the isolation of Granada.”

The Central Government representative for Granada, Inmaculada López Calahorro, expressed her “sensitivity” towards the demands made and assured that they were “working hard” to bring abou advancement toward connecting Granada to Málaga directly.

The state-owned, national, rail company, Renfe, made no comment on the protest, limiting themselves to pointing that pointing out that the six train connections that disappared during the pandemic “would soon retun.”

Then we come to the PP, who have been busy lynching their party leader, in a frenzied feast of fraticide, demanded the four thatthe train services to Madrid that were promised in 2019, prior to Covid swamping the planet.

Vox, took the opportunity to have a go at the PP, whom they are desperate to displace as the main, right-wing party in the country. They criticised the PP for demanding a response from the Central Government and then promptly forgetting about it, they claim.

Regardless of what the political parties are doing our trying to be seen to be doing, the business sector has given the until this coming summer to get their fingers out.
