Aiming to highlight the city of Valladolid's green credentials, Spain's Environment Minister Teresa Ribera arrived by bicycle at a European Union climate meeting there last week.
That could alter the balance in Europe, where the fight over a law to restore degraded ecosystems has shown cracks in support for the EU green agenda. European lawmakersAlberto Gutierrez, Valladolid's new mobility chief, said the city would redesign cycle and bus lanes to improve congested traffic, denying claims by cycling groups that it is a covert way to shorten them.He defended the decision to reduce the LEZ, saying Valladolid already has low pollution levels.
"Bike lanes have to be useful and not generate social alarm, so each municipality has to analyse the most appropriate location," a PP official told Reuters. "They are putting people at the head of city councils and regional governments who by action or mission are climate change deniers," Sanchez said on July 6.Vox's strategy is aimed at a minority of people annoyed by bike lanes, framing them as part of the culture war, said political scientist Cristina Monge of the University of Zaragoza.
A European Commission spokesperson said these projects were linked to the fourth disbursement that the next government will have to apply for in the autumn. They declined further comment.Newly-elected Mayor Carmen Moriyon from a local spin-off of the PP, who needed support from Vox to rule, has already changed the layout of bike lanes and removed the obligation for vehicles to have an environmental sticker in order to park in Gijon.
