The germ circulates on the road, by Jordi Basté

Catalunya 2025: Rodalies remains the nightmare of thousands of users who, resigned, have assumed delays, breakdowns and lack of investment as an inevitable part of their day to day. Every morning the scenario is repeated: detainees between stations, crowded convoys, platforms full of helplessness and panels that announce indefinite delays.

It is not a new problem. It is the consequence of years of inaction, unfulfilled promises and a centralized management model that has condemned Catalonia to survive with a third world rail network. Mané Espinosa / Own Drama, however, goes beyond indignation. It has a political weight that is often overlooked. The germ of the independence process was not planted with a stele, but with collective outrage due to infrastructure that, at the beginning of the 21st century, literally crumbled. The great demonstration of December 1, 2007 with more than 200,000 people was the first warning. Today, almost two decades later, everything remains a dream: “the immediate solution, by national dignity, of the chaos of the infrastructure currently in execution and the prioritization of investments and resources for the proper functioning of the vicinity.” The manifesto read that day showed issues that are still pending stories: the need for fair financing, the ability to decide from Catalonia about their infrastructure and the dignity of Rodalies users. I also read Jordi later, the story: while the governments announced millions for the transfer of Rodalies, independence grew, fed by the feeling of abuse. Radial Spain continued to build birds to connect Madrid with any corner of Spain. Today the collapse continues. Trains are used as a political metaphor or as an electoral weapon. But the reality is Tozuda: if in 2007 the railway indignation was the trigger for the sovereign wave, in 2025 it remains the argument that demonstrates that Catalonia has no control over what most conditions its economy and its quality of life. In 2007 it was read: “We demand that the security of people be prioritized and that the economic losses caused by Rodalies chaos be compensated.” Twenty years later we are the same, only now, with resignation as the only answer.
