The municipal group Hacemos Córdoba has urged the City Council to halt the "capital depletion" of the municipal company Sadeco, demanding the immediate purchase of new trucks for waste collection.

The left-wing coalition Hacemos Córdoba has urged the Córdoba City Council to put an end to the "capital depletion" that, they claim, the municipal company Sadeco is suffering. They criticize years of "insufficient investment in vehicles, machinery, and personnel" and demand the "immediate purchase of new trucks" to ensure the waste collection service. Furthermore, they advocate for a fleet renewal towards electric or hybrid vehicles, warning that new trucks "cannot continue to be diesel".
While welcoming the arrival of rented trucks, Hacemos Córdoba insists that "renting cannot be the structural solution." They point out that it can serve as a "one-time measure" but that the "true solution lies in investing and purchasing new trucks for the municipal company."
The coalition reports that "only seven out of the 18 trucks that Sadeco should have operational are providing night service," describing the situation as an "absolute mess" and attributing it to "the lack of management and commitment to the municipal company by the mayor and his government team."
They recall that Sadeco "has historically been a benchmark company nationally and internationally," but believe it is currently in a "critical situation" due to "the inoperability and lack of planning by the Partido Popular."
They criticize the directorial instability, noting that "in the last seven years, Sadeco has had five managers and three presidents," which demonstrates that "it is not a priority for the mayor." They denounce that the municipal government "has not purchased a single truck in all these years," causing "a constant loss of resources and assets" and opting for "temporary solutions that further weaken Sadeco."
Consequently, "many residents find their garbage still uncollected in the mornings." Hacemos Córdoba demands that the mayor "fulfill the commitment made during the election campaign" and promote "the 200 positions promised to strengthen the company's staff," arguing that "without sufficient personnel and investment, it is impossible to guarantee a quality service."
They consider that the Partido Popular's policy "is damaging the image of a leading company" and responds to "a clear strategy of weakening public services that could eventually lead to privatization processes." "We will not allow them to degrade Sadeco to the point of justifying its privatization," they warn, expressing their support for the staff, whom they define as "the true engine that continues to sustain a model service thanks to the daily effort of its workers."
