The new amendment to the Madrid Mobility Ordinance will be a major blow to taxpayers’ pockets. The city council announced the extension of the Regulated Parking Service (SER) to 22 new neighborhoods and the extension of charging times, including at night, Saturday afternoons, Sundays and public holidays. The official argument is to “guarantee places for residents”, although in reality this is a new way of collecting money to the detriment of citizens who wish to enjoy independent travel. Madrid is already an expensive city to live in and get around. Between municipal taxes, environmental taxes and transport, residents are subject to increasing fiscal pressure. Sánchez is already there to raise taxes; There is no need for Almeida to copy the model under the pretext of sustainability. Mobility does not improve by stifling the taxpayer, but rather through a balanced model that respects the solutions that everyone wishes to adopt because they best suit their situation. Less ideology and more solutions.
