Duela hilabete batzuk, AHTaren aldeko plataforma eratu zen Nafarroan, Foru Komunitatean makro azpiegitura horren eraikuntza bizkortzeko. Plataforma hori Nafarroako AHTaren proiektuaren ahultasun une batean sortu da, hamalau urte baino gehiagoko lanen ondoren bultzatzaileek nahi bezain azkar aurrera egiten ez duelako eta proiektua erreskatatu zuten Next Generation funtsak agortzear daudelako. Plataforma horren sustatzaile nagusiak Nafarroako Enpresarien Konfederazioa (CEN), Merkataritza Ganbera, Institución Futuro Think Tank enpresariala eta ingeniarien hainbat elkargo dira. Erakunde horiek Nafarroako enpresa-eliteen interesak ordezkatzen dituzte; izan ere, aurrekaririk gabeko krisi ekosozial globalaren testuinguruan, ez dute zalantzarik haien onura ekonomikoa natura eta langile klasearen bizi-baldintzen gainetik jartzeko, azken hori gero eta kaltetuago izanik bizitzaren garestitasuna, murrizketa eta pribatizazioengatik. Era berean, badirudi bosta axola zaiela eraikuntzan izaten ari den muturreko lan-esplotazioa, Euskal Herriko AHTaren obretan hamahiru langileren heriotza eragin duena. Hasiera batean, erakunde horiek beren enpresa-harremanen sarea hauspotuz, plataformaren sorrera-agiriarekiko 41 antolakunderen atxikimendua lortu zuten. Manifestua izenpetzen duten enpresa-elkarte oso gutxik –eta are gutxiago beste mota bateko antolakundeek– jasoko dute AHT-tik inongo onurarik; izan ere, bere garaian CEOEk adierazi zuen bezala, "enpresek salgaien trenbide-garraio eraginkorra behar dute, eta ez AHTrik", Espainiako Estatuko gainerako lekuetan bezala, Nafarroan ere merkantziarik ez baitu garraiatuko. Mafiak bezala, AHTaren aldeko plataforma da gaur egun Nafarroako AHTaren hariak itzalpetik nahieran mugitzen dituena Plataformaren atxikimenduen zerrendan deigarria da hainbat antolakunde ikustea, ez baitago batere argi babesa zergatik eman duten. Batzuk aipatzearren: Iturgintza eta Berokuntza Enpresen Elkartea (ANAFONCA), Laguntza Entitateen Nafarroako Elkartea (ANEA), Irakaskuntza Zentroen Nafarroako Elkartea (CECE), Nafarroako Gizarte Graduatuen Elkargo Ofiziala, beste askoren artean. Ez ote dira elkarte horiek jasotako presioak erabakigarriak izan kasu askotan plataformari atxikitzeko? Era berean, atxikitako erakunde askotan, zuzendaritza-batzordeek modu antidemokratikoan hartu dute erabakia, oinarrien iritzia kontuan hartu gabe, hala nola C.A. Osasuna, ANAPEH,  Iratxe kontsumitzaileen Elkartea, eta abar, kide askorengan ezinegon handia sortuz. Patetikoa da UGT bezalako sindikatu batek, teorian langile-klasearen interesak defendatu beharko lituzkeenak, patronalaren plataformarekin bat egin izana. Gainera, eta nola ez, Plataformak Sociedad Civil Navarraren sostengua du, izaera erreakzionario nabarmena duen erakundea. Une honetan, plataforma banakako zein taldeko atxikimendu-kanpaina bat bultzatzen ari da. Horren helburua da jendartean legitimatzea makro azpiegitura honen eraikuntza; izan ere, Nafarroako jendartearen zati handi batek ez du berau ontzat hartzen, kezkaz ikusten baitu ingurunea suntsitzea, poltsiko pribatuak gizentzeko diru publikoa xahutzea, eta herri xehearen ohiko trena ziztu bizian hondatzea, tren elitista bat bultzatzeko. Makro azpiegitura hori Nafarroako inoizko suntsitzaile, xahutzaile eta anti-sozialena izan arren, ez du izan ez bideragarritasun-azterketarik, ezta parte-hartze prozesurik txikienik ere. Plataformaren helburu nagusia da presio lobby gisa jardutea Nafarroako eta Madrilgo gobernuekiko. Ildo horretan, salatu behar da urrats garrantzitsua eman dutela trenbide-azpiegiturak bultzatzeko (AHTa, batez ere) Lan Batzordearen sorrerarekin, Nafarroako Gobernuko Lurralde Kohesiorako Sailak, gobernu zentraleko Garraio Ministerioak eta Atlantikoko Korridorerako Sailak eta Nafarroako AHTaren aldeko Plataformak osaturik, hau da, erakunde publiko-pribatua, azken boladan modan dagoena. Mafiak bezala, AHTaren aldeko plataforma da gaur egun Nafarroako AHTaren hariak itzalpetik nahieran mugitzen dituena. Datozen hilabeteetan, AHT Gelditu! Nafarroak fokua jarriko du itzal hori argitzeko eta hariak nola mugitzen diren eta zein interesekin argitu ahal izateko. Beatriz Arana Ortiz eta Julio Villanueva Villanueva, AHT Gelditu! Nafarroa

(The Center Square) – Small Business Advocacy Council President Elliott Richardson prides himself on tirelessly pushing the envelope when it comes to making life more bearable for Chicago small business owners. “Small businesses really could use a point person at City Hall to help them through the process,” Richardson told The Center Square. “If they're denied a permit or a license, understanding the reason is important so that they can go and fix that as quickly as possible. Those are some of the things that could be done.” Richardson’s never-ending crusade to make life easier for his constituents comes as Mayor Brandon Johnson recently launched his Cut Red Tape initiative. Some hope the initiative cut bureaucracy, creating transparency and granting more access to critical resources. All told, more than 30 chambers of commerce, business organizations and lawmakers have publicly thrown their support behind the reform efforts, with Richardson being among those who have been hard at work supporting the cause for at least the last year. “Some of the things that policymakers can do now is to make changes to zoning so small businesses don't need to spend unreasonable amounts of time and money trying to open or to grow their businesses,” he said. “Things that could be looked at are eliminating antiquated and unnecessary special use permits. Time is money for small businesses and simply waiting for too long to get a permit or a license can really drain a small business of its cash flow.” With a growing number of small businesses across the city now struggling with higher costs related to inflation, tariffs, labor and health care, Richardson said stabilizing the industry stands to benefit the masses. “It fosters economic development; it fosters neighborhood revitalization,” he said. “Those businesses can go out and hire people from the community. People looking for jobs win, and workforce development improves neighborhood revitalization. The more successful and robust small businesses you have on a commercial corridor or in a neighborhood, the more foot traffic you're generating, the more tax revenue you're generating.” Overseen by the city’s Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection, Cut Red Tape comes on the heels of the city’s spring 2024 plan to streamline residential and commercial development.
