The PP spokeswoman in the Senate, Alicia Garc\u00eda<\/strong>, warned on Thursday that \u2018requiring payment by card or other digital means of payment generates inequality, especially for the elderly\u2019 and announced that her group has registered a motion to require the Executive to guarantee the freedom of consumers in the choice of all forms of payment with physical money, as well as cards and digital.<\/p>\n

The motion has been registered with the Committee on Social Rights, Consumer Affairs and Agenda 2030<\/strong>. The motion proposes, on the one hand, the recognition of the right to choose the method of payment<\/strong>, explicitly guaranteeing it in national legislation, as well as the obligation to accept cash, the promotion of digital inclusion and the alignment with European regulations.<\/p>\n

\u2018From the PP in the Senate we defend consumer protection and it is clear that requiring payment by card or other digital means of payment generates inequality, especially for the elderly and for those living in rural areas, due to the difficult access to connectivity,\u2019 said the PP leader after holding a working meeting with the president of the Denaria Platform, Javier Rup\u00e9rez, and representatives of the association.<\/p>\n

The meeting was also attended by the Group's deputy spokesperson, Inmaculada Hern\u00e1ndez, as well as the spokesperson for Consumer Affairs, Carmen Riolobos; the spokesperson for Economy, Alfonso Polanco; and the spokesperson for Digital Transformation, Pablo Gonz\u00e1lez.<\/p>\n

It was agreed to create a working group to address the problem and propose solutions that \u2018ensure financial inclusion\u2019, so that \u2018progress in digitisation does not mean a setback in equal opportunities\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Garc\u00eda defended \u2018the freedom of consumers\u2019 and pointed out the importance of \u2018recognising and guaranteeing the use of physical money<\/strong>, as well as the possibility of payment by card and digital means\u2019.<\/p>\n

He warned of the importance of \u2018listening to consumers\u2019 demands\u2019 and \u201censuring that access to services does not violate their rights<\/strong> or contribute to widening the digital divide\u201d.<\/p>\n
