Trouble because of Sanifair
Expensive motorway toilet: Left wants to nationalize rest sites
If you have to pay-you usually have no way around the Sanifair’s payment toilets from Sanifair for vacation travelers or commuters. The left complains “rip -off”.
Many vacation travelers should have the experience of these days again: If you press the bladder on the highway, you almost can’t get past Sanifair’s hubs. The toilets of the subsidiary of the motorwayRest areas-Operator tank & rest follow a simple concept: money against Klogang-and with the Sanifair bon, the value can then be credited when buying in the rest area.
The pressing business costs one euro in many places. Afterwards this gets again who made a shopping in the rest area. At the end of last year, the prices were raised from Sanifair to 1.50 euros at some German stations.
Linke calls for the end of Sanifair bon
This is not portable for the left. It not only demands the end of the “Sanifair” bon system that force people to consume. She also wants to nationalize the motorway service facilities. This is how it emerges from a paper from the federal board of the party that star is present. “Nobody should pay excessive prices on the trip or do without clean toilets,” it says. “Anyone who travels with a small wallet must not be disadvantaged.”
Specifically, the left therefore requires free access to the toilets that a “symbolic toilet groschen” is at a maximum-“without any forced cuffs and rip-off”. For this purpose, the motorway service facilities are supposed to go back into the public sector: “The privatization of the rest stops in 1998 has proven to be a grip on the toilet.”
The only ones who benefited from this are windy financial investors who delay “extreme profits” from this rest stop system: “The privatization of the rest stop operator Tank & Rast should be undone step by step or the company is put under public control.”
Don’t you want to miss anything from the star?
Personally, competent and entertaining: Editor -in -chief Gregor Peter Schmitz sends you the most important content from the star-Credaction and arranges what Germany talks about.
Die Left wants to finance the return to the public sector with the Federal Government’s special fund. In addition, the left -wing better working conditions for cleaning staff and more transparency and control of what is earned on the toilets.
The paper was written by the federal managing director of the left, Janis Ehling. He said that star: “Travel must not be luxury – and a Clogg Especially not. “You stand up for a fair, social and clean infrastructure for everyone who is on the go. Especially now during the summer vacation it shows:” It is time to end the Sanifair system and bring responsibility back into the public sector. ”
Note: In an earlier version of this article it stood that the Sanifair bon had a value of 50 cents. However, this has been one euro since the end of 2022. We have corrected the corresponding position and ask to apologize for the mistake.
