BarcelonaThe historic spokesperson for Renfe in Catalonia, Antonio Carmona, has been removed from his position in Rodalies. According to has advanced La Vanguardia and company sources have confirmed to ARA, Carmona was dismissed a few weeks ago as director of institutional relations, from where he acted as an intermediary with administrations and the media. Since then, according to the same sources, he has been in charge of new "functions in the commercial services" of the railway operator.

It so happens that Carmona was already removed a year as director of Rodalies, a movement led by this newspaper. Its functions were then carried out by a new operational director chosen from Madrid, Josep Enric García Alemany, who was also dismissed shortly after due to the crisis in Rodalies. Renfe's management in Catalonia was finally handed over toÒscar Playà, the CEO of Rodalies Catalunya, the new mixed company that will take over the transfer of Rodalies.

It was Playa, precisely, who has now decided to dismiss Carmona, according to La Vanguardia.
