• Politics Unidos Podemos will show its rejection in Congress of the expansion of El Prat and will demonstrate in Barcelona

The co-spokesperson of the Podemos state leadership, Pablo Fernández, has insisted on criticizing the expansions of the El Prat and Barajas airports and has even admitted that he hopes that those investments announced by the Government will not reach that destination, but rather promote the conventional railroad.

In addition, it has left the door open to penalize the use of airplanes,

even making the price of flights more expensive

, as a deterrent to less polluting means of transport.

"The 3,200 million that they want to invest, and that we hope will not be carried out, we hope that they will be used

for conventional rail and sustainable transport in cities,

" he said in an interview with Europa Press.

In his opinion, these large projects are

"contrary" to the sustainability policies

that should be adopted to combat climate change.

"The measures required by climate change are antithetical to certain infrastructures such as the expansion of El Prat and Barajas - he considers -. In addition, they obviate one of the great problems of the country such as the lack of cohesion and territorial structuring suffered by Spain. indoor".

DETERMINING MEASURES

For this reason, from the 'purple' formation they are committed to investing in

medium and short distance

railways

and promoting sustainable mobility in metropolitan areas instead of using polluting means of transport such as the plane.

Moreover, they do not rule out raising the price of airline tickets or

closing air routes that have a

similar

rail alternative

: "The best or most dissuasive measures must be studied so that such polluting means of travel are not used so intensively" .

According to Pablo Fernández, "sustainable transport is not the future, it is the only option."

"We have to study and apply measures that promote or privilege means of transport that are more sustainable and

less polluting

and if they also better structure the territory, I think it is unbeatable," he added.
