Medina on the Rails: neighbouring municipalities should not “be afraid” – the Public.en

the president of The Chamber of Lisbon stresses that the municipalization of the Rails should not be of concern to the neighboring counties. "Have no fear", says Fernando Medina, arguing that "there is no answer to the mobility problems in the city if there is not an integrated management of the problem and of the solutions in the Metropolitan Area".

"there is no solution that can confine the point of view of conceptual and practical the boundaries of the municipality. This does not exist. There is a wall to the exit to Lisbon", underlined the mayor. Fernando Medina added that the agreement signed with the Government, which provides that the Rail transit to the camera the 1 of January 2017, "there is no obstacle to the resolution of the issue of mobility at the metropolitan level", but "a first step"solution.

The mayor who is a socialist responded well to the doubts raised on Tuesday by several members of the Municipal Assembly of Lisbon. The debate around the Rails, the trailer of the appreciation of the Budget of 2017 to the city of Lisbon, a document that was approved with the votes of PSD, CDS, MPT, PCP, PEV and BE and with the favourable votes from the PS, the Citizens of Lisbon, PNPN (Park of the Nations By Us) and PAN.

Claudia Wood, of the ENP, is said to have "major reservations" as to the municipalization of the transportation company, given that it "operates in various counties". The congresswoman, whose concerns associated with the communist Ana Easter, emphasised that "all the means of transport of the city must have an integrated management", "through a metropolitan authority of transport".

Already the bloquista Ricardo Robles took the view that the transition from the Rails to the camera "is good news" and that "the concession to the private would be the greatest of errors". Still, the congressman stressed that this "by itself is not a guarantee of a public transportation universal and of quality," and held that it was "an error" the local authority have been left out of the equation with regard to the Lisbon Metro.

the social-democrat Louis Newton defended (excluding those that have been in the positions of some elements of their party) have been given "an important step for the effective management of mobility in Lisbon", adding, however, that this management "reveals incomplete" for not including the metro. In turn, Vasco Santos, MPT, has expressed the fear that the "financial situation balanced and sustainable" that the municipality has today become "compromised" with the assumption of the management of the track.

Among them, Victor Gonçalves, in the PSD, which criticized the tariff policy of the chamber to the level of Sanitation and of Municipal Waste.

"THE CDS does not align with the waste and financial management ineffective of public money," said for its part, the centrist Maria Luisa Aldim, which criticized that the camera only has disclosed the list of properties that you want to sell in 2017 "after many requests". The AUDIENCE also asked this list to the local authority at the end of October, but till date not received it.

in This debate, the councillor of Finance insisted on the idea that Lisbon has "tax policy and tax more favorable in the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon". The second summed up John Paul Saraiva, the members of the executive are "all very quiet" with the accounts of the municipality and also with those of municipal companies, which "are in a state of beautiful!".
