Bring the debate about betting houses back to the Cortes of Valencia and show that the proximity of these establishments to educational centers, especially institutes, was rejected through citizen participation. This is the aim of Compromís, which announced yesterday that it will present a Popular Legislative Initiative (ILP) against the changes in the law accompanying the new Consell, which will once again allow the renewal of licenses without adhering to the distance rule of at least 850 meters. meters away from schools and once again accepting the installation of gaming machines (slot machines), something that has been prohibited by the five-year moratorium since the law was approved (in 2020) not to accept any new powers. This was stated at a press conference by the Compromís Ombudsman in the Cortes, Joan Baldoví, and the spokesperson in Valencia, Papi Robles. Baldoví noted that the law approved by Botànic “removed betting businesses from training centers” and now PP and Vox “are doing the opposite, that is, listening to the business lobby and allowing them without participation and hiding.” “The law on measures allows keeping houses close to schools and institutes, as businessmen want.” According to Law 10/2017, 10,000 signatures are required for a popular legislative initiative to be implemented, and at least three people must sign to introduce it. There are eight months to collect the rubrics. “We will involve all associations and organizations so that the initiative returns to the debate that PP and Vox silenced,” Baldoví said yesterday.
