In recent months, the processing, approval and implementation of the PPs and Cs’ municipal government-promoted anti-begging regulation with the help of Vox has generated a great deal of controversy across the country, which has had considerable repercussions. For the right-wing bipartisan who runs the Alicante City Council, it is revealing that so much energy and effort went into punishing and criminalizing beggars, passers-by, homeless and prostitutes, that the local Police started to initiate sanctions files. While the streets of the city turn a blind eye to many other acts that misname coexistence (and rightly “shame”) and many other acts according to this municipal ordinance, as if that were our only concern, many regulations in force are equally punishable and coexistence truly it is harmful.
Obviously, for the mayor, Louis Barcala The only problem in Alicante is the poor, from whom the entire political, regulatory, enforcement and police mechanism has been initiated by this immoral decree, which continues to be legitimized by increasingly shameful arguments. But they forget our mayor and the deputy councilors that the city council has approved in recent years, and they keep in effect thirty-four different municipal ordinances, many of which regulate, regulate, organize and control the most unexpected and various aspects of our lives. In the most extraordinary events, unknown, in some cases very loud, including hundreds of violations and economic sanctions. So much so that even just by going out on the streets, we witness hundreds of actions every day punished by this mess of statutes and regulations that the City Council does not systematically comply with.
It seems that for this government team that occupied the city’s Municipal Authority, while the only poor were the ones who broke the rules because of a serious and criminal act of misfortune, in all the neighborhoods, streets and buildings they violated, that damaged the city, changed the coexistence and destroyed the municipal heritage. daily violating and non-compliance with the numerous regulations and basic guidelines for coexistence.
Alongside the different urban regulations, Alicante has the unfortunate “Civil Coexistence Ordinance in the Alicante municipal district” (the shame against begging ordinance, which integrates the issues regulated in the eight other municipal ordinances currently in force, respectively). Beaches and coves of the municipal era, advertising placements, along with many other issues regulating discharges from the municipal sewage service, the decision of integrated and isolated action programs, the circulation of pedestrians and vehicles, urban and environmental permits and related figures, the cleaning of the municipality, markets, parks and gardens , marking of public roads and numbering of buildings, installation and operation of radioelectric infrastructures, design of pedestrian crossings, popular festivals, local consumer services, fire protection conditions, protection against noise and vibrations, activities Temporary services for various purposes on public roads, circulation of personal mobility vehicles , parking lots, reservation of places on public roads and bonus-taxis, as well as municipal action for sale, distribution, supply and consumption of alcoholic beverages for persons with disabilities and reduced mobility, electronic i of Alicante City Council technical and hygienic-sanitary conditions of public roads, hairdressing salons, beauty parlors and other aesthetic services, public roads, entrance and exit of vehicles (fords) from sidewalks and public roads, citizen card, non-resident sales and other temporary activities and demonstrations for commercial purposes, public restrictions on the use of parking on open roads, telecommunications facilities, cemeteries, the firing of fireworks, collaborating agencies of the municipal government Nicipal, together with the recently approved Local Waste Plan, in justifying urban actions, property, welfare and protection of animals.
The regulatory mess is such that any citizen can spend all day with any of these municipal ordinances in their hands, calling the Local Police, demanding that it be enforced on the thousands of daily issues that have been violated. phone is something that should be regulated by another regulation.
Of course, there are fundamental aspects of coexistence and functioning in a city that must be regulated by objective and approved regulations according to established procedure. But this jungle of municipal ordinances approved for their willful non-compliance is, of course, utterly useless except for the apparently poorest.
What is striking is that the City Council itself will, in many cases, become the main culprit for many of these approved municipal ordinances. There we have all the trees that a sadist should have decided to plant on generally polluted streets, because in addition to providing shade they practically do not cease to pollute the sidewalks, vehicles and public roads with their fragrant leaves and yeast. How could the City Council ask us to clean up public roads polluted with jacarandas, mulberry trees, acacias and other species that are so unlucky for a city like Alicante? Let’s apply their own municipal ordinances to the City Council.
