The reform of the Córdoba train station planned for this year will not ultimately include the adaptation of bathrooms for ostomized people, as denounced by the senator of the Partido Popular (PP) for Córdoba, Cristina Casanueva. The politician states that the Government had committed to this action in 2025 and has now withdrawn it.
"We are not talking about a minor detail. We are talking about a barrier that limits mobility, conditions the social and working life of many people, and means breaking an accessibility commitment made with society," declared Casanueva.
The senator cited a figure of nearly six million travelers who passed through the Cordoban station in 2025 to argue that the accessibility of the building should be a priority. "For an ostomized person, not having an adapted bathroom can mean something as basic as not being able to travel, not being able to leave home, or having to give up social, work, or leisure activities," she explained.
According to Casanueva, the Córdoba bus station, several civic centers, the Biblioteca Grupo Cántico, and hospitals in the city already have bathrooms adapted for ostomized people, works she attributes to PP management in the administrations where it governs.
The senator announced that her party will continue working to have the installation of these bathrooms regulated by law in the main transport infrastructures. In this regard, she recalled that the PP has submitted written questions and a motion on this matter in the Senate, and that her group has registered an amendment to the reform of the Ley de Derechos y Deberes to legally require adapted bathrooms in train and bus stations, airports, and ports.
Casanueva also highlighted the work of the Asociación de Ostomizados de Córdoba, both in the capital and in the rest of the province, and stated that the contact between her party and the association has made it possible to bring their demands to the Congreso and the Senado.
"The goal is very simple: for a person with an ostomy to be able to travel, work, study, do tourism, or simply move around with the same freedom and dignity as any other citizen," concluded the senator.
