MÉS for Mallorca presents a Law Proposal
The political party MÉS for Mallorca has registered a Bill with the aim of reducing the pressure on cars on the island. This proposal has been announced in a press conference by the general coordinator and spokesperson of the parliamentary group of the training, Lluís Apesteguia, and the general secretary and spokesperson of the party in the Council of Mallorca, Jaume Alzamora.
Objectives of the proposal
The Bill seeks to establish a legal framework that allows the Council of Mallorca to set a vehicle ceiling and limit the entry of vehicles to the island. This aims to reduce noise and environmental pollution, as well as reduce the saturation of road infrastructures.
The current situation
According to Lluís Apesteguia, Mallorca is the third territory in the world with the greatest pressure of vehicles per inhabitant, with a growth in the car fleet of almost 50% in the last 25 years. This is considered unsustainable and requires immediate action.
The previously rejected proposal
Jaume Alzamora recalled that MÉS for Mallorca had already presented a motion so that the Council of Mallorca could limit and control the entry of vehicles to the island. However, this proposal was rejected by the PP and Vox parties, who argued the need for a load study before taking measures. MÉS for Mallorca considers this response insufficient and a lack of action in the face of an urgent problem.
The new Law Proposal
The Law Proposal presented by MÉS for Mallorca in Parliament seeks to give the Council of Mallorca the necessary tools to establish a limit on the entry of vehicles to the island. This implies that all vehicles that are not owned by residents, public service or registered on the island must apply for a permit to enter Mallorca, in accordance with the criteria established by the Council. This measure aims to reduce the fleet of vehicles and avoid the construction of new roads on the island.
Waiting for the support of the other parliamentary groups
MÉS for Mallorca hopes that the Law Proposal will receive the support of the other parliamentary groups. They consider that it is necessary to act in a sustainable way and avoid the increase in road infrastructure in Mallorca.
conclusion
The Law Proposal presented by MÉS for Mallorca aims to reduce car pressure on the island and promote sustainability. With this proposal, the aim is to limit the entry of vehicles into Mallorca and reduce noise and environmental pollution, as well as avoid the saturation of road infrastructures. It is important that this proposal receives the support of the other parliamentary groups in order to move towards a more sustainable Mallorca with a better quality of life for its inhabitants.
