We can Xàbia bet by lowering the price of rent, new public transport and remunicipalizar services

The purple formation presented its electoral program on Friday in the House of Culture. An act in English for foreign neighbors who live in Xàbia. Andrew Shaw, number 17 on the Podemos list for municipalities, was in charge of moderating the event in his native language, English. After a brief mention about the origins of Podemos, and its organization in Xàbia, it was Bernhard Feiner, candidate for mayor of Podemos and an English teacher, to present the program.

Feiner reviewed the three main lines of action of the party in Xàbia: Xàbia breathes, Xàbia lives and Xàbia works. Under the first point, 'Xàbia breathes', the 1 number highlighted the need to curb speculation and stop seeing the construction of new homes as the main engine of the economy to protect the true 'Treasure of Xàbia', its nature. In this section he also proposed a public transport that serves the population, "The current one does not and we rely on three pillars: electric minibuses with short routes, car sharing and electric bicycles with stations in different parts of the municipality, and a functional bike lane network throughout the municipality and even other towns"explained Bernhard.

In 'Xàbia vive' he highlighted the importance of lowering the rental price. We can bet on the creation of a public housing stock, so that the town hall be a major player in this market. In addition, they are going to study the possibility of differentiated sections of the IBI, depending on whether it is a habitual or holiday residence. Finally, he presented the project for the creation of a network of safe houses for battered women in Xàbia.

The remunicipalization of services was the main objective under the slogan 'Xàbia works'. Lowering costs by eliminating the intermediary company, providing stable working conditions and maintaining qualified jobs in the municipality would be the consequences.

We can also be determined to deseasonalize tourism. Asked by an audience assistant how this goal was to materialize, Feiner picked up a suggestion from the Club d'Atletisme Llebeig to promote sport and, for example, raise the triathlon nationally or even internationally. He also explained the project of on-site processing of agricultural products that would create jobs for the whole year.

Finally, he proposed a seal of quality, both physical and virtual, to fight against the precarious working conditions suffered by many workers in Xàbia. This distinction would be granted to companies that offer legal working conditions to their workers and voluntarily consent to controls by independent bodies, such as unions or the city council.

Also, the public participated in the act with their questions and proposals.
