Public Toilet Access Act
-
Most toilets in Spain are not charged, so there would not be any problem with us adapting to this act is passed. However, I believe companies have the right to ask for a payment to use the toilet. For example, many bars in Spain ask people willing to use the toilet to take something, so if they leave it dirty they would have, at least, left some money on the establishment. With this act, I believe we would be compromising that basic right business owners have.
In addition, debate is extended for another 48 hours, until 23:59 GMT on August 18th, 2023.
Donald Tusk
Council Speaker and Councillor for Spain -
I would agree with the right honourable Tusk. Whether small or big businesses and institutions should have the right to charge a nominal fee for a toilet even if its just 0.50 in Dux Libra or Euro or whatever currency the nation uses. My concern would be making all public toilets be free would encourage loitering , vandalism and other issues which yes we could afford to fix but it is cheaper just to have the nominal fee to protect the toilets so that only those seriously using them for toileting needs are using them. Most of our public toilets on street are charged for for this very reason.

Most toilets in Brickston accessible to the public are government-owned and thus are free of cost to access. That being said, businesses have the right to independently establish their fees, payments or prices to use/purchase anything under the ownership of said business. Therefore, we are against this act from being passed under its current form.
