The Government maintains its commitment to reduce the investment deficit in Spanish roads without having to introduce tolls on the highways from next year.
This was stated by the Minister for Territorial Policy and Government spokesperson, Isabel Rodríguez, during the press conference after the Council of Ministers, on the commitment assumed by Spain to address a payment for use on the highways in the framework of the receipt of European funds.
“The minister in charge of the branch has already shown herself emphatically,” said Rodríguez, referring to various interventions by the Minister of Transport, Raquel Sánchez, who has “absolutely” denied that in 2024 tolls will be imposed on the highways.
In this way, Rodríguez has explained that what the Government is doing with the European Commission, within the framework of the development of the recovery plan, is precisely to see how the maintenance of the road network is addressed without addressing it through payment by use.
“We are working on a global plan that also involves more sustainable mobility, which is what the Government has worked on, promoting public transport and its free use”, the minister spokesperson concluded.
