- You are rich and can buy a new electric/hybrid car.
- You live in the center of Madrid and are allowed to use your car.
However, if you are "poor" and work in the center of the city:
- If your car is not a low-emission vehicle, you are limited to go to work (only can by public transport).
- If you are a deliverer of packages, you'd have to buy a new car that fulfill the emission restrictions without any kind of tax-exemption from the government.
This low-emissions zone creation has been a show without any kind of planning and without consulting the citizens. i.e. there has not been any type of car renovation plan or tax exemptions that could have helped citizens with this restriction.
I understand the ecology and health-care point of view, but tell that to somebody whose work depends on reaching to the center of the city to deliver some packages (for example).
> Party B does not win the election but, because of how the system works, they could take the council by joining forces with other parties (who were also against the LEZ)
Isn't that how democracy works? I know that the system maybe could be improved but that's how the game is. In fact, the current Prime Minister started its government the same way.
