Chema Fernández, Izquierda Unida City Council member of the Toledo City Council, said: criticized the “Renace Tajo” project It was submitted by the government team on Tuesday this week, as it announced that it aims to create sustainable urban defenses around rivers. … Project “base” It is based on the execution of construction projects, namely the placement of concrete and bricks.Even if it’s in the form of a pier.
An IU spokesperson for the Toledo City Council said that PP and Vox defend the Tagus River: “Both parties are talking about the same thing, which is to continue transferring water to the Levanto, knowing that the Levanto River is the main element that changes the flow of the river through Toledo.”
For Chema Fernández, both the PP and Box would prefer to protect the party’s interests in “giving more representation to certain provinces and protecting the business lobby of irrigated lands” rather than siding with the Tagus River, which passes through the city.
on the other hand, IU councilor points out ‘hypocrisy’ of ‘public’ on sustainable developmentbecause the Green and Blue projects announced by the local government team must have the end goal of reducing urban emissions, as set out in the Sustainable Development Goals, which both PP and Vox rejected.
Fernández highlights that this has become more evident since Spain’s PP, which incorporates the Municipality PP, broke the European Parliament’s voting discipline by voting together with the far right against a 90% reduction in emissions by 2040, despite votes in favor of other European people’s groups.
“They don’t believe in reducing emissions or restoring the Tagus River.” Fernandes is adamant. “They want nothing more than to invest $2.5 million in concrete and cement and cut a ribbon with a Spanish flag on a pier on a river that is often dead, but they are being exploited by the power company and not even asking to serve on a relocation and exploitation committee where Toledo’s voice can be heard,” the IU City Council member charged.
Finally, Chema Fernández emphasized that if PP and Councilmember Vox wanted a sustainable city, they would not have voted against measures such as creating a bike-friendly map or declaring Toledo a walkable city. “They had the opportunity to create a sustainable city, but they have been disrespected because they want the benefits of investing in more impressive works that then have to be maintained or abolished, rather than actual policies.”
cat shelter
On the other hand, considering the situation in the city’s cat shelter, Chema Fernandes regrets that the management contract for the colony management has expired after January 1, 2025, proving that there is “zero interest” in complying with animal welfare, and condemns the dereliction of the government team’s functions due to the lack of maintenance of this center, the responsibility of which cannot be held on the management body.
“Deficiencies in the city’s facilities are the responsibility of the council and they must provide the infrastructure with all guarantees and ensure the welfare of the animals is met.”
