Since December 2018, the Communist Party 06 has been demanding free public transportation in Nice. The Metropolis opposes it.
The PCF06 gathered last night at Place Garibaldi alongside La France Insoumise (FI) for an aperitif debate to demand free transportation in Nice. A petition has just been launched: Free public transportation, an urgent climate, health, and social issue!
“The social issue, as we see with the Yellow Vest movement, is becoming increasingly significant in our country where inequalities have continued to grow for decades. At the same time, environmental issues are unavoidable. Contrasting the social issue with the environmental one leads nowhere. Both are part of the same urgency. It is about offering an alternative to cars, and thus to fossil fuels. Free transportation addresses sustainable development issues and allows for the reintroduction of equality and solidarity into the right to transport. Free transportation is an investment in the future. There are funding possibilities, but what is lacking today is political will.”
