Eguzki reproaches the City Hall of Vitoria-Gasteiz that rising garbage rates is an "excuse" to comply with the law
The Council has argued that the rise is due to the European Waste Act (PIGRUG).The environmental group Eguzki has ensured that a 'mass fraud' is being carried out' to the law, citizens and the environment.
The municipal government has said that the rise in waste rates is a measure covered by the European Waste Act. In the other Basque capitals the increase in rates will be very low compared to Vitoria-Gasteiz.En Bilbao the percentage is 10% and in Donostia-San Sebastián it is 26.5%. Eguzki has strongly criticized the decision taken by the Alavesa capital through a statement.
The Movement has reported that the City Hall wants to make use of the tool '' by forgetting the objective ''. The same Waste Act provides that by 2025 at least 55% of urban waste must be collected selectively and by 2030 the amount will be 60%. The ecologist group believes that the percentage of people affected in Vitoria-Gasteiz today is less than 39%. Eguzki explained that the Consistory "has no real intention of meeting the programmed objectives." ''There is no planning to meet the objectives in an extraordinary timeframe.'' In July, the Cleaning Councilor, Pascual Borja, announced that by October 2026 the possibilities of opening the grey container that collects all the mixed waste will be reduced. ''There is no roadmap to fix this measure in a rice deadline,'' said Eguzki.
''Discourses on commitment to the environment and sustainable developments have no credibility until the most basic measures are adopted', the group criticises.
