Taxi demonstration in Munich - "Fair competition conditions and minimum fares now"
The protest of the taxi industry was also directed against Mayor Dieter Reiter (SPD), who recently spoke out in an interview against a minimum price, and thus against his own city council coalition of SPD and Greens.
Support, on the other hand, comes from the factions of the SPD, the Greens, and the Left. They see the introduction of a minimum price as a step towards fairer competition conditions and more sustainable urban traffic. The vote planned for Tuesday, April 29, in the city's district administration committee was apparently postponed under pressure from the lobby of ride service providers. Bolt and Uber have been mobilizing for days with online petitions and full-page advertisements in Munich newspapers against the introduction of minimum prices.
Minimum prices must come now
The protest action was organized by the Munich taxi associations and the German Taxi and Rental Car Association (BVTM). Board member Gregor Beiner emphasized the urgency of the demands to the taxi drivers.
“Only minimum prices prevent social dumping and only fair wages permanently ensure fair competition for a functioning transportation system in our city. Now we must convince the entire city council of our demands, action must be taken now.” Because: The minimum price must come today and not only in a few years, Beiner emphasized.
SPD, Volt, Greens, and Left are (actually) in agreement
Sibylle Stöhr (Greens), Chair of the Munich Taxi Commission at the City Hall, assured her solidarity and full support for the Munich taxi industry.
"The commission has been negotiating for three years. Now is the opportunity to pass a minimum price in the city council."
Stefan Jagel from the Left faction addresses clear words to Mayor Reiter:
"It is not worthy of a social-democratic mayor that working conditions suffer from price and social dumping. The SPD is protecting corporations like Uber and others that exploit their people. Therefore, minimum prices are needed. Jagel: "The Left firmly stands with the taxi drivers."
With the protest action, the Munich taxi industry has sent a clear signal. Now it is up to the Munich City Council to seize the historic opportunity and take a clear stance for the rule of law, social justice, and sustainable competition.
