Mayor Rafael L\u00f3pez Aliaga Defends Lima-Chosica Rail Project Amid Controversy<\/h2>\n

The mayor of Lima, Rafael L\u00f3pez Aliaga<\/b>, launched a vehement defense of the proposed rail project connecting Lima and Chosica, fiercely criticizing the Minister of Transport and Communications (MTC), C\u00e9sar Sandoval<\/b>, as well as various sectors opposing the initiative. His comments came during the official unveiling of the first batch of trains at the port of Callao, marking a significant milestone in the Cercan\u00edas train project.<\/p>\n

At this event, the arrival of 45 two-story panoramic cars along with 11 locomotives was celebrated, all earmarked for the future Cercan\u00edas train project\u2014a vital initiative spearheaded by the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima<\/b> (MML). L\u00f3pez Aliaga expressed his frustration over opposition to the project, stating, \u201cThe core issue in Peru lies with corrupt individuals who want to rob people of their joy. These leftists, the Terruca left, have one mission: to destroy the lives of the people.\u201d He went on to imply that external influences, including funding from authoritarian regimes in Venezuela and Cuba, are working against the progress of Peru.<\/p>\n

The mayor vehemently defended the rail system\u2019s viability, countering critiques about the presence of street vendors hindering operations, stating, \u201cThey can move; it\u2019s that simple. They have done nothing but lie.\u201d This rebuttal reflects a broader frustration with perceived misinformation that he believes is obstructing essential advancements in infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Further, L\u00f3pez Aliaga criticized MTC Minister Sandoval for expressing doubts regarding the infrastructure\u2019s capacity to support passenger trains. \u201cIf the road exists and we transport minerals from Oroya to Callao daily, this is a nonsensical argument,\u201d he asserted. The mayor also called on President Dina Boluarte and Premier Eduardo Arana to fulfill their promises of support for the project.<\/p>\n

L\u00f3pez Aliaga emphasized, \u201cI have held my tongue for over 15 days. If you want to engage in politics, we will go that route, but do not go against the happiness of the people.\u201d He expressed confidence that the necessary infrastructure is ready for operations, despite skepticism from experts and government officials. \u201cThese trains have been operational since December in affluent areas of California. Do not tell me it cannot work here,\u201d he added passionately.<\/p>\n

The MML has announced that on July 14, they will present the first lot of the project, including 45 wagons and 10 locomotives. The event will be held in the Park of La Muralla and promises live musical performances from well-known artists such as Rub\u00ed Palomino and Deivis Orosco.<\/p>\n

Despite the optimism expressed by L\u00f3pez Aliaga, Minister Sandoval reiterated his position, confirming he would not attend the event. He emphasized that the project currently lacks adequate operational conditions, stating, \u201cThe MTC aims for better connectivity and quality transport.\u201d He cautioned that the proposed plan is far from being implemented, citing issues related to safety measures and station adequacy, questioning the readiness for public transportation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
