Since last May Pablo Iglesias announced the abandonment of politics and therefore his departure from the Government and leadership in Podemos, normality has gradually reached La Navata, the urbanization of Galapagar, north of Madrid, where he settled with his partner Irene Montero in 2018.

The neighborhood outrage caused by the disembarkation of politicians before the security deployment In a natural setting like the one in which this urbanization is located, he joined the numerous protests that transformed an idyllic place of residence into a real nightmare.

In recent months, according to residents, the presence of civil guards is non-existent and only two plainclothes policemen are left to guard the surroundings. There are hardly any controls, “yes, the urinal-shed is not even removed,” they comment in the area.

However, certain attitudes of Churches do not cease to surprise those who live there. According to some of them, they have recently found some unwanted residue of the former vice president in the wrong place.

To be more specific, they have sent this newspaper an image of a box from an Amazon order from the former politician lying among the glass containers and organic waste.

“It boasts a lot of ecology and respect for the environment and with the only box that we find lying there is that of Iglesias, it should be ashamed,” says one of the indignant neighbors.

Dirtying public space

On the packaging of the popular e-commerce company, the full name of the current professor and talkative, as well as his address, is reflected. This type of antisocial behavior is penalized with significant fines.

Specific, according to article 62 of the municipal ordinance of cleaning public spaces and waste management of the Galapagar City Council, it is considered a minor infraction to deposit waste outside the elements of furniture intended for this purpose as well as to throw those that dirty public spaces.

According to article 64.1 of said ordinance, this offense is punishable by a fine of up to 750 euros.

«If a police officer identifies you by leaving garbage outside the container, the sanction, most likely, will be the maximum. If not, it may be less, since it is difficult to determine if the person who appears identified on the label of the package is the one who has left it abandoned,” explains Carla Greciano, a councilor for the Galapagar City Council, to LA RAZÓN.

According to the policy, Similar situations are occurring throughout the municipality, given that due to the increase in online orders, the containers are overflowing: «We have been asking for a long time from the Councilor for Urbanism to extend the days for collecting cardboard and paper. Right now it only takes place twice a week and we have requested that it be five.

Do you live here or not?

The body in charge of establishing the sanction for the abandonment of garbage in the street is the sanctions department of the City Council. So far, those that have already been issued are usually around 100 euros. “However, several people have been fined 750 euros for not picking up their dog’s excrement on public roads», says the councilor.

Meanwhile, in La Navata, the neighbors comment on the situation: «We have considered various theories. One of them is that it was he himself who left her there to show that you still live in the house; another, that it was her maid or even a neighbor who took her out to get a fine. Who knows. But come on, I know people who have already been fined for this situation, so if their box has appeared there, like the rest of the people, they should receive the sanction “, comment the residents.

«I took the photo of the package before I knew it was his because I wanted to draw attention to the responsible neighbor, I was surprised that it was from Iglesias, since around here you see little. From time to time she comes to take care of the children, little else. The one who is always is Irene. It’s quite strange, “says the neighbor who came across the Amazon package on behalf of the former vice president and is now glad that calm has returned to La Navata.
