The Municipal Socialist Group proposes to encourage the use of these cars by providing parking areas, allowing them to park in the ORA for free and lower taxes
As a result of the high levels of pollution that we are reaching in Murcia, especially due to the existing traffic, the Municipal Socialist Group proposes a battery of measures to encourage the use of sustainable vehicles.
Councilor Andrés Guerrero explains that "there are many measures that the municipality can take in terms of sustainability and the environment, such as the promotion of the use of clean energy, but among them all the most important must be those aimed at combating high levels of pollution, which is a problem that is affecting us and that is going to more. "
Guerrero says that we are the region that has increased CO2 emissions since 1990, according to the Spanish Sustainability Observatory, and "we cannot turn our heads to something else that is so serious. We have to look for real and effective solutions and start apply them urgently. The problems of the future will only disappear if we tackle them from the present. "
In addition, the socialist mayor explains that "recently, we have learned that Murcia presented his candidacy for the" European Green Capital 2022 ", an initiative of the European Commission aimed at rewarding those European cities characterized by defending a sustainable model." This is an award that would give us € 350,000 to adopt sustainable measures.
It is a large amount that will undoubtedly help us to improve the municipality, which is why it is considered essential that the government team starts working on proposals to build a green city, first of all addressing its main problems in this area. "
In addition, recalls the councilor, "we must take into account that one of the objectives of the European Union in 2020 is to achieve a reduction of 20% of CO2, ensuring that at least 10% of renewable energy sources is used in the transport sector ".
For all this, "we must increase access to sustainable vehicles by the residents of Murcia."
One of the measures proposed by the PSOE to encourage their use "is to allow them to park in the ORA zone for free.", Explains Guerrero.
The councilor also proposes to "increase the years of bonus of the Tax on vehicles from the current three years to five, as well as enable 15% of the parking areas for parking of sustainable vehicles, and especially electric, providing them with charging stations accessible to demand, forming a public recharge network powered by renewable energy. "
"We are very late with respect to Spain and more if possible with respect to our European partners in the use of the sustainable vehicle. We hope that the Government team of the City of Murcia will listen to our proposals and start working to end this delay," he concludes. the concilor.
