ACV taxi drivers will mobilize in San Sebastian on March 26 against Uber's "professional intrusion"
The Basque Federation of Taxis has stressed that the administrations "accept" the activity of car rental drivers and has demanded compliance with the regulations in force.
The taxi drivers of the Basque Country will mobilise on 26 March in San Sebastiánto protest against what platforms such as Uber call "professional intrusion". The call comes from the Basque Taxi Federation, which urges public administrations to enforce the regulations governing the activity of driving vehicles (GTIs).
In a statement, the Federation denounces that the Public Administration continues to "tolerate" practices that harm the taxi sector and criticizes the "absolute lack of interest" of the municipal government team in San Sebastián in ensuring that the GTIs comply with the existing regulatory framework.
In addition, the group has pointed out that the activityof platforms such as Uber does not return to the Basque Country ( da), since the company has its tax address in the Netherlands, where it declares its revenue, and that, according to the federation, many companies working with GTI licences are based in Madrid, so they do not pay taxes in the ACV either.
Taxi representatives have also criticised the conditions of service provided by these platforms, which are "precarious" for both users and workers, and have warned that it has limited scope for action in the Basque Country because it falls within the competence of the State.
On the other hand, although the political leaders express their support for the taxi and compliance with the regulations, they say that these statements are not "effective measures", unlike in Vigo and Pamplona, where they have carried out various inspections and checks that have led to sanctions and the freezing of vehicles.
The Basque Taxi Federation has warned that it will not accept the "consensus" between public institutions and GTI platforms, so the mobilization of 26 March will bethe beginning of a calendar of protests that the collective's board of directors will define in the coming weeks.
