  • The Superior Court of Madrid nullifies the rules defining low-emission zones (ZBE) in the capital, due to an appeal by Vox.
  • The ruling does not question the need for measures against pollution, but indicates insufficiency in the economic impact report.
  • The ruling is not final, and the zones and penalties associated remain in effect. Mayor Almeida has 30 days to appeal.
  • Mayor Almeida previously activated against the 'Madrid Central' traffic restriction.
  • The PP, associated with the far right, has shown delay in taking measures against polluting traffic in several cities.
  • Only 24 of the 151 Spanish cities of more than 50,000 inhabitants have implemented low-emission zones.
  • The PP needs to advocate for sustainable mobility, in line with European consensus.

Conclusion: It is essential that PP distances itself from the climate change denial of the far right and take measures for sustainable mobility.
