LKS recommends that the city of Mondragón not ammunition street cleaning

  • Now that the contract with Cespa is no longer valid, the city council of Mondragón is studying what to do with the street cleaning service. You can take it back to the public contest; last year Cespa and Servicios were presented. Or ammunition the service. At the request of the municipal government team (EAJ-PSE), the LKS cooperative recommends that you do not assume this service because it would lose money. There's controversy in Arrasate.

In May 2017, according to Goiena, the Mondragon City Council awarded the street cleaning contract to Cespa (Ferrovial Group), believing that it provided a better offer than Serbitzu in the competition. Disagreeing and Serbitzu appealed to the court until he succeeded in rendering the contract null and void. Since the City Council needs to start the whole procedure again from scratch, opposition groups demanded that the service be withdrawn from private companies and ammunition, as they have done recently in Oñati and Hernani.

The economic viability of the municipalisation was demanded by the PNV government team from the LKS company. The LKS cooperative is one of the most important in the Mondragon group. Specialized in consulting, engineering and strategic planning, LKS is part of the group of companies that will carry out the private management of waste in Gipuzkoa in the Zubieta incinerator, with a strategic alliance with the multinational Urbaser.

On Wednesday, 14, the LKS presented its report to the press in conjunction with representatives of the municipal government. Goiena and Mondraberri have explained in detail that the LKS has presented a report against publification, noting that on the one hand the service will cost the city council more and on the other that if the workers of Cespa who have the contract today go to court, they should be paid damages.

The political group Arrasate-Gander has expressed its disagreement with the report. In the document sent to Mondragón by Gandia, he states that “we defend the municipalisation for three reasons: For the economic savings; for the improvement of the service; for the improvement of the conditions of the workers, because it will mean stability and quality of work.”

Benefit Arrasate has asked the City Council to prepare a serious report addressing the economic, legal and economic-social perspective of the subject. “We have always been convinced that the public is ineffective compared to the private, much more efficient. At Benefit Arrasate we believe that the municipalisation of essential services cannot be measured only in economic terms; it must also be measured in social, environmental and quality terms. We reflect on the fact that only the report prepared by the GSP has been compared with the ESCWA service, without presenting any other alternative. That the PNV does not believe in the public management of basic services and that the report has been prepared to silence the opposition.”
