Councillor of the United Left Greens + (IU + LV) in Murcia, Esther Herguedas, today accused the town council to abandon the establishment of a public bicycle lending service designed as a practical mobility for everyday use .
According Herguedas, "the council prefers to offer the traditional bicycle rental system oriented to leisure and tourism, as another example of lack of interest in sustainable mobility of the mayor, Miguel Ángel Cámara, whom no one yesterday fined for cycling Belluga Square. "
The mayor of the left coalition has said that the policy of the government team is "the image and propaganda" and sees the bicycle as a decorative part of its public image, unlike in other cities like Sevilla , Bilbao and Vitoria, "who have chosen this way."
"It is striking that Murcia, which spends 8.5 million euros annually to subsidize the bus, which will subsidize the tram, which allocates 3 million to Terra Natura and more than a million to each of the sports facilities are not privately owned public have found a viable financial mechanism for implementing public bicycle, "he concluded.
