The Montecarmelo canton project does not move, at least for the moment. More Madrid, PSOE and Vox have demanded the municipal government in two initiatives (a joint presented by the left and one from the Ortega Smith party) presented on Tuesday in the Plenary … of the Madrid City Council the relocation of this cleaning equipment after the unanimous agreement of the neighbors, who have been on war for months and have located an alternative plot. However, both proposals have been rejected after the vote against the PP.
Thus, the delegate of Urban Planning, Environment and Mobility, Borja Carabante, has criticized the opposition for “its manipulation” about this matter and has stressed that it is “an offense for workers, who leave the skin at work, and for the neighbors, who are the victims of their lies.”
Ignacio Ansaldo, Vox Councilor, has been the first to have defended this ‘move’ of the canton: «Both the neighbors and Vox have proposed several alternative plots, but you have closed in band and no longer listens to us. Is it going to build a Megacantón with 80 heavy machinery vehicles, with 37 vans, more than 350 workers a few meters from thousands of homes?
On the other hand, and after greeting the residents of Montecarmelo who followed the debate from the guest tribune, the socialist mayor Emilia Martínez has added that they, like the neighbors, also believe that the canton must be executed to improve the conditions of the cleaning workers. In addition, he said, the alternative plots indicated by the neighbors improve accessibility for workers, have an easier connection with the areas of action of the cleaning contract and is an industrial zone, they defended.
From more Madrid, the councilor José Luis Nieto also stressed “his recognition” to the cleaning workers, who also observed the Plenary from the guest tribune, and urged the Almeida government to “not put back to the neighbors.”
“They are scary”
In his turn of intervention, the cleaning delegate and green areas and councilor president of Fuencarral-El Pardo, José Martínez Páramo, wanted to start recognizing the work of the cleaning operators: “You are (to the opposition) some liars and are putting fear of families, fear of children, fear of the neighbors with their demonstrations,” he said. «Using arguments such as increased crime, odors, rats, noise, accumulation of toxic or carcinogenic waste is to demonstrate that our service and an offense to this group are unknown. Please tell the truth, the cantons are safe sites and do not lie ».
«If the cantons are toxic and carcinogenic, can you explain why they don’t ask that the other 116 be closed? The garbage cantons, as they have come to name them, do not house any garbage accumulation. They are costumes of the personnel who perform the cleaning so that the city is cleaner, ”supported the head of the area of urban planning, environment and mobility, Borja Carabante, who together with the rest of the popular group applauded the workers of the cleaning services at the end of the debate. Meanwhile, the neighbors, after expressing their complaints with this decision angrily from the guest tribune, had to leave the Plenary Hall outraged.
