The Marjal train

These days of fighting against this train-like train they want to impose on us, I've thought a lot about my mother and father. I suppose the same thing happens to you. Their worries, their dreams, that extreme work from dawn to dusk. Their determination to get ahead, to float. Hours and hours of work and suffering... often just to survive and be able to pay four bills. What would they say if they were alive? I believe, I am convinced, that we draw strength from their memory and their legacy. Cati Mayol wrote a phrase on the Civic Platform's Facebook page, which says: "This group was born from the love for their land and the urgent need to protect what we are." With a single phrase, she captured the essence of the world we believe in and that sustains us. Don't give up... together we can stop this madness.

They shouldn't make us choose between the train and saving the Marjal

There are many public campaigns promoting local produce, both for farmers and for the value of the land. Just this week, the Catalan government unveiled the logo for local produce. There's a public discourse in favor of zero kilometers, for the countryside, and for the landscape, but reality shows that it's not moving in that direction.

Sa Pobla rises up against the train that will cross the Marjal

The civic platform "Save Sa Marjal" has called for a rally tomorrow, Thursday the 3rd, in the Plaza Mayor of Sa Pobla to protest against the layout of the new train line that will reach Alcudia. The project is to replace the railway project with a tram, "since it would destroy less land and its impact would be less." The goal is to "preserve all the properties and land" possible. The platform is calling for public transport that is "as non-aggressive as possible." "For hundreds of years." As a short-term alternative, they propose increasing the frequency of buses between Sa Pobla and Alcudia. "The land," they add.
