The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, will use this Saturday the Super Puma helicopter of the Air Force to travel to the city of Valladolid, where he plans to attend the Goya awards gala 2024.
For a journey of about 200 kilometers that separate Madrid from Valladolid, the socialist leader will choose one of the most polluting means despite the Government’s continuous calls to “take care of the environment” and while hundreds of field workers They are protesting in Spain these days against the restrictions that, with that same excuse, are imposed on them from Brussels.
The Super Puma will perform next Saturday four tripstwo of them emptysince this helicopter always picks up Sánchez at Moncloa after a first takeoff from the Cuatro Vientos Army base and makes the same journey upon returning to the capital.
This aircraft burns about 600 liters of kerosene per hourbut Sánchez prefers to continue using this alternative while recommending that Spaniards not use ties as a method of saving energy.
The most likely thing is that the aircraft will land in the San Isidro barracks since, according to sources consulted by LA GACETA, the president has decided to use this means as the most useful to avoid protests by farmers who are expected to move to the Castilian-Leonese city on Saturday. «He wants to land in the center of the city and thus avoid the farmers«, they explain.
The unions CC.OO., UGT and 40 other groups will protest that same day in Pucela against the policies of the Junta de Castilla y León where the Popular Party and VOX govern, and in the farmers’ WhatsApp and Telegram groups. There is talk of moving their mobilizations there as well.
«On Saturday, which is the day the Goya awards are presented in Valladolid, just as the unions and the parties and associations of the left are going to demonstrate to gain visibility in Spain, we We are also considering making ourselves visible at the Goya awards ceremony.«farmers have explained to The Objective.
That the Government uses official aircraft to cover this type of journey also clashes with the commitment reached in October by the Socialist Party and Sumar to reduce short flights that have a rail alternative of less than two and a half hours, like in this case. The train that covers the route between Madrid and Valladolid takes just one hour and the option that what worries Sánchez are the road closures as a result of the tractor trailer is also ruled out with this route. You won’t even arrive earlier by helicopter since the flight will also take approximately one hour to land in Valladolid.
«The train is called to be the transport of the 21st century«said the second vice president, Yolanda Díaz, in the presentation of that agreement. It does not seem that Sánchez agrees.
