Catalan engineers urge to refound Adif with four-year technical mandates

Catalan engineers advocate for the restructuring of Adif, emphasizing the need for technical mandates lasting four years to enhance governance and stability. They argue that frequent leadership changes disrupt long-term planning and that a state pact should prioritize technical expertise over political appointments. The focus should also extend to middle management and operational teams to ensure cohesive functioning. Following recent incidents, there is a call for better training for traffic regulators to handle crises effectively. Additionally, the engineers highlight the need for faster public procurement processes and increased funding for infrastructure maintenance.
