The spokesperson for Barcelona En Comú, Janet Sanzcharged this Wednesday against the government of Jaume Collboni due to the increase in the price of public transport by 6.75%, which the Autoritat del Transport Metropolità (ATM) decided this Tuesday: “It is absolutely irresponsible to raise public transport fares for the first time in nine years“, considered Sanz, who has announced that the BComú municipal group will bring to the December plenary session a I ask to request the freezing of rates and guarantee bonuses, as agreed by the plenary session in its October session.
Sanz has denounced that “the first big decision of Jaume Collboni as mayor of Barcelona and president of the AMB has been to raise rates and break with the freeze and bonuses agreement of the last nine years”, instead of meeting the minister of his own party and look for alternative solutions to raise the price twice as much as the CPI.
“The easy thing is to do nothing and raise rates. It is irresponsible for someone who calls himself progressive.“, declared the councilor of the commons.
The Barcelona en Comú group maintains that the current socialist government is in “paralysis“six months after beginning his mandate, and will propose to the municipal plenary of Barcelona City Council to confirm this situation to give “a touch of attention“to the mayor, Jaume Collboni.
The text of the proposition that the commons bring to the last plenary session of the year urges the mayor “to break this inactivity to face and lead the needs of the city and its neighbors.
“Everything shows paralysis and inability to lead what Barcelona entails,” said Sanz, who added that “all the files – which the Collboni government is presenting – “are inheritance of our work, none of yours“.

Furthermore, Sanz has highlighted that the extended budget situation with which the city council faces the beginning of 2024 represents a cut of 17%.
“He is not doing anything and the little that is done is done looking to the right“said Sanz, who has insisted that the mandate of the citizens in the past municipal elections was to “build a progressive government that continues to make progressive policies”, such as those made during Ada Colau’s mandate.
