Compromís demands immediate solution to Sagunto cleaning dispute
The party called the pile-up of rubbish in Sagunto's streets unsustainable and urged local officials to take urgent action.
The left-wing Valencian party Compromís has demanded an immediate solution to the labour dispute at SAG (Sociedad Anónima de Gestión), the municipal company responsible for waste collection and street cleaning in Sagunto, describing the resulting build-up of rubbish in the city's streets as unsustainable. The party called on local officials to take urgent measures to unblock negotiations between the city council and the service's staff, and expressed concern about the impact the accumulated waste was having across different parts of the municipality. According to Compromís, the drawn-out conflict reflected a lack of political response to a problem directly affecting the city's image and public health, and it called on the governing team to act more quickly to resolve the situation before it worsened further. The party stressed that waste collection and street cleaning are essential services that cannot be left disrupted for days by a labour dispute without the council actively stepping in to help the two sides reach an agreement.
