He Mayor of Pamplona, Joseba Asiróndeleted the economic bonuses to different groups of the population of Pamplona by use of the electric bicycle service.
The first mayor decided remove discounts 50% for single-parent and large families, over-50s and under-31swho benefited from the annual subscription at 17.5 euros, compared to 35 which it now costs for everyone.
This measure was Strongly criticized by the UPN, main opposition party and promoter of the electric bicycle service in Pamplona. “This is another example of the hypocrisy of Assyron. When we were in government, I criticized the price of tickets, even though I had promoted a 50% discount for many groups. In addition, we extended this discount to the entire population for 10 days. Now that he reigns The only thing you did was eliminate all the discounts “existing,” criticize the regionalists.
For the UPN, “the subscription is of great benefit to anyone who is going to make a regular use of the electric bikesince it reduces the price of each trip by more than 70%, hence the decision to eliminate reduced fares This will fundamentally harm those who use this means of transport the most. This is in direct conflict with Bildu’s supposed environmentalism, which has once again proven to be false. We are promoting these measures precisely to encourage the population to use bicycles and promote sustainable transport, which we believe should continue to be done, especially among certain age groups.
From the formalist formation, they emphasize that “we have already seen how Asirón, who governed with us, led so-called environmental demonstrations, now you have no problem with it anymore cut down as many trees as you think necessary. It’s the same thing, they are against the car and in favor of sustainable mobility, but they do nothing to promote it. During their first term, they built 1.6 kilometers of cycle paths; “We have done 10 times more, more than 16 kilometers.”
“In fact, it has been nine months and the only measure regarding the electric bicycle system has been place the 12 new bases that we have already promoted and which benefits more than 60,000 users. Furthermore, Asirón has not presented any new stretch of cycle path. They are environmentalists, but all their policies go in the opposite direction,” they concluded.
