MADRID, 16 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Alianza Verde has placed the “fight for greener cities” as the “axis” of its project in view of the municipal and regional elections on May 28.
This was stated this Saturday by the federal training coordinator, Juantxo López de Uralde, in a conference with candidates called ‘Green cities for a better life’.
The event was also attended by Elkarrekin’s candidate for Mayor of Donostia, Víctor Lasa, who pointed out that from Podemos and Alianza Verde the paradigm they are committed to is the “donut economy, which is based on principles contrary to the infinite growth”.
Lasa has defended the existence of a socioeconomic ground where the price of housing is “low enough and salaries high enough”, and an ecological ceiling within which the economy must develop.
For his part, the Cordovan ecologist Pepe Larios has stressed that the environment must “be an area directly dependent on the mayors” and that, “like the Treasury”, it must have “the ability to command in all other areas.”
Likewise, the Green Alliance candidate for the Region of Murcia, Cándido Gabarrón, has advocated for the “constitutional guarantee of the right to energy”, while the Green Alliance coordinator in Asturias, Alicia Pajón, has highlighted the need to “offer alternatives “, that “cannot be only pedestrian”.
“We have to have strong urban transport and also urban transport that works. And in a highly centralized country like Spain, there is a long way to go,” he pointed out.
Likewise, the councilor in the Logroño City Council and coordinator of Alianza Verde in La Rioja, José Manuel Zúñiga, has highlighted that the presence of training in municipal governments has allowed progress on issues such as the elimination of glyphosate.
For her part, the coordinator of Alianza Verde in Castilla-La Mancha and candidate in Guadalajara, Gracia Monge, has emphasized that “more and better education is needed to teach students about “the emotional connection with nature”, while the coordinator of Alianza Verde in the Valencian Community, Julià Álvaro, has warned that “it is not possible to continue investing in infinite growth”.
