We live literally immersed in electromagnetic waves in an increasingly
technological world whose health implications are yet to be determined.
Only time will tell whether today's use of such everyday appliances like
microwave, mobile or wireless networks will be to blame for the
diseases of tomorrow, and the many who believe that the evils of
technology advocated by some are just urban legends. But when in doubt,
Vitoria has decided to play safe.
The Vitoria City Council approved unanimously by all groups to limit Wi-Fi areas in public spaces and fully restrain it in those places where children are the main users.
The Council harbors the principle of "precaution" and notes that when an activity "poses a threat or harm to human health, measures must be taken even when the cause-effect relationship has not been scientifically demonstrated conclusively."
The decision of Vitoria seems to go against the trend of the rest of the Basque municipalities, which are increasingly opening free access in an attempt to make the possibilities offered by Internet within reach of all residents, and even in schools, it is customary for children to have access to the Internet. Telephone companies, as in the case of Euskaltel Euskadi, are flooding the Basque streets with Wi-Fi points for their customers.
Against this, the Alava council has decided to pass up free Wi-Fi for 'Wi-Fi free'. Seconding a motion of Sumando-Hemen Gaude, Podemos has chosen to delineate the Wi-Fi signal in civic centers and municipal buildings where there are signaling areas so that citizens are adequately informed of the potential dangers to which they are exposed.
The actual children's spaces such as playgrounds and family libraries, will be Wi-Fi-free, through decreasing its incidence, and establishing Wi-Fi-free zones in playgrounds and entrances.
The steps to protect the most vulnerable citizens from electromagnetic radiation will be "gradual and in accordance with the technical possibilities".
The motion presented by Sumando and assumed in Vitoria, modified by the PNV and supported by all groups, is part of the campaign initiated by Podemos for electromagnetic hypersensitivity to be recognized as a disease and to protect citizens from the ills of radiation.
