• Mobility: Carmena prevented it from being fined in Central Madrid before the May municipal elections
  • Mobility: The Government of Carmena will cancel 6,602 fines from Madrid Central due to an error

The list of problems with Central Madrid continues to increase. The last chapter of the star mobility measure in the center of the capital during the term of Manuela Carmena is the fines that are being received by drivers residing in the restricted area that at the time had authorization to enter the former Residential Priority Areas ( APR ).

With the launch of Madrid Central on November 30, 2018 and the disappearance of these APRs, authorizations ceased to be valid, although residents had until June 30 to register their registration and not be sanctioned. Many of them were unaware of this process because said measure was not notified by an individual letter, according to the company that handles fines management Pyramid Consulting and confirms the current City Council.

"From July 8 until the end of August there were more than 5,300 resident enrollments that have been sanctioned from once to 20," sources from the Municipal Corporation explained Thursday afternoon to this newspaper, which assure the current team "It is complying with the ordinance" left by its predecessors.

This new problem is affecting residents whose vehicle is not in their name, even if they are registered in Central Madrid. Sanctions that are not received by registered owners in Central Madrid who have the car in their name , because in this case it was the City Council itself that has managed the authorizations.

The specialized advice on the recourse of traffic fines affirms that the sanctioned could appeal these sanctions "claiming that it would be a continuous infraction" or "that the Administration has not fulfilled its task of duly informing the citizens".

On the other hand, from the Consistory they affirm that the affected ones "can make allegations and will be studied", but those who have breached the regulations will have to face the payment of the sanctions.

This is the latest controversy that adds to a long list that Madrid Central has suffered in just 10 months of operation: from the more than 6,000 sanctions canceled due to errors in the time format for the communication of fines in the months of March and April until the hidden penalty moratorium of the City Council of Carmena before the municipal elections of 26-M.
