MADRID, 27 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The spokesman for Vox in the Madrid City Council, Javier Ortega Smith, has been in favor of opening the parks at night, as "an oasis in the desert", to combat the high temperatures in the city, a position that they will defend at the meeting who will maintain the opposition with the delegate of Urban Planning and the Environment, Borja Carabante, on account of a possible change in the protocol of action.

"In a heat wave, the parks are authentic lungs, authentic oases within a hot desert in a city. And we cannot allow only those people from Madrid who have the economic possibilities to go to a private club to enjoy the environment. The Public parks must be open, with control measures, when risky meteorological phenomena occur," he stressed from the institutional act by the patron of the San Juan Municipal Police.

Apart from days of strong winds or storms, yes on sunny days of haze and high temperatures, "the parks are a safeguard for many people from Madrid who leave their apartments and seek a cooler spot, with better temperatures."

"We are against their closing. What's more, we propose opening more hours, so that even late at night, as is done in other European cities, parks and gardens can be opened for the enjoyment of all Madrid residents," he said. argued the mayor of Vox.

Vox would have the Retiro open "all night" because "in Madrid you live the night in summer, almost more than the day." Why not go out and enjoy a park at 2 in the morning? Or being able to get up early, get up early and enjoy a cool walk in a park", he has set as an example, after defending that parks are "the best refuge" in the face of high temperatures.
