With the aim of diverting a real debate on tolls in recent years in Hego Euskal Herria and in particular in Gipuzkoa and Bizkaia, the foreign ministers and some political parties have used green pseudonyms and lies to convince the transporter that the environmental and social costs of the thousands of tons of goods that circulate in our country are what we have to pay the tolls.
However, the Hiru transport syndicate has made a great effort to dismantle the cheap excuses used for the introduction of new tolls, to clarify that freight transport is a public service and that ultimately the main and unique objective of tolls is to solve the institutions’ cash problems.
In the end, the Members of Gipuzkoa and Bizkaia have had to admit words or deeds that they are. In Gipuzkoa, the possibility of resolving Bidegi’s millionaire debt is being explored through a new toll at the N-1, clarifying from the outset that in Bizkaia there was no choice but to impose tolls to pay for the giant work of the Bilbao variant.
Toll is therefore a type of indirect tax that applies to citizens to finance infrastructure, maintain and build more roads, repeat.
It is obvious. The debate on tolls is a debate on the financing of our roads and has nothing to do with the protection of the environment, the resolution of traffic problems and much less with the management of goods movements, which are not problems that will be solved by establishing peajes.Por. Therefore, the financing of roads should be part of the debate on our country’s fiscal policy and our fiscal model, as is the case with the financing of public health, education or other services.
Because, fortunately or unfortunately, roads and infrastructures are heritage or public harm, all citizens use roads, directly or indirectly, or we need roads, so the payment of roads must be borne by the whole of society.
In this respect, it is now a fundamental debate to impose and disseminate fair, progressive and equitable taxation, such as the discriminatory, unfair and non-progressive tax, such as the toll or the roads we finance.
