Mid-morning of Saturday, many go through the toll booth to the far with the hand out of the window, checking the V of victory and honking their way through the booths aware of that after four decades claiming the gratuity of the AP1 is already a reality and they are not going to pay anything in your comings and goings. “I can not believe it,” says Fernando Revuelta, a madrid-born 37-year-old has travelled overnight to get to San Sebastian with his family. “Nor I remembered that there was no toll,” he assured as he took a coffee with a neapolitan in the Path of Europe, the restaurant located about fifteen kilometers of the obsolete toll.

In fact, it is the first thing that reverts to state ownership from the Government of Pedro Sánchez announced last June that the end of the concessions would be free of charge for the users. “In my company, parcel the transit nearly every day of the four vans, between Burgos and Vitoria, just in tolls, it was to cost about € 30,000,” says Imanol, who smokes at the door of that point of service in the N1. The alaveses Betpas save 12,25 euros per journey and the basques 11,75 euros on each tour.

The party started earlier than expected. If the appointment with the gratuity was provided for 24 hours, the workers of the toll road closest to Burgos, the Chestnut, and used the spindle from canary islands to remove barriers, to activate the warning lights and with the help of the agents of the Civil Guard, to leave the passage free to the drivers. According to confirm from the government of Catalan workers of Europistas dismantled the barriers shortly after 23 hours under the watchful eyes of the agents of eleven patrols of the Guardia, and two vans of the IPU of the National Police.

The real feast, however, began when members of the Platform of the Or arrived at the toll road in a caravan of cars a little before 24 hours to celebrate with champagne for a moment that consider historical. The deputy socialist Esther Peña and the spokesman of the PSOE in the town Hall, Daniel De la Rosa joined the celebration, as confirms the Newspaper of Burgos. The decison announced the minister of Development, José Luis Ábalos last June in an interview with THE COUNTRY. The satisfaction, however, has a cross. Very few remember that 44 of the workers of the concession company that has exploited this road are, from today, unemployed.

These two sides of the coin perfectly explained Manuel M., a neighbor of Miranda de Ebro for a few minutes before eleven in the morning, got out of his car and deposited next to the railing of the door of the control center Armiñón, a bouquet of flowers in memory of all the victims of the old and collapsed, N1, but also of the workers. “They are also, in some way, victims of the N1,” he commented before going back to get in your car and follow road to the south.
