Reading the Aire Garbia platform

1. Participation in popular consultations is often much lower than in elections, of course. However, the participation that has been given in today’s consultation has been very modest. D. Mayor, as a justification for this consultation, said: "We are aware that there is an open debate among citizens," he added. But, in our view, such a low turnout has shown that there was no debate. Not on this subject, at least. In fact, none of the forces represented in the City Hall have chosen to maintain the underground, not even a single association of citizens. What is more, all those who have stood before the consultation have opted for the removal of the remains of the land. Scissors serve to cut, but not anything; for example, to cut logs we cannot use scissors, as they will be lost in vain. Furthermore, the instruments of citizen participation, in this case popular consultation, should be used on a sound basis. If used in any way, you risk being bottled when you really need them.

2nd Among the voters, those who voted in favour of the abolition of the underground were easily imposed. In the absence of 30% participation, the result is not binding on the City Hall. But seeing how things have gone, we have no doubt that the municipal government has clearly heard the message.

3. In the opinion of Aire Limpia, the most important thing is that the municipal government has a less excuse to deal once and for all with the real problem that Lasarte-Oria has in terms of waste. And that's the problem that Lasarte-Oria, along with Donostia and other villages, is still in the back wagon of the Gipuzkoa recycling train. In this regard, we very much welcome the fact that this idea is incorporated into your speeches, each in its own way, of course, the three forces that have talked about the consultation this week: EH Bildu, PNV and pp.
