THE Minister of Transportation, Mobility and Urban Agenda José Luis Ábalos has announced his intention of removing the first of the toll roads from private hands.
This is the M-12 which connects Madrid centre with terminal 4 at Barajas airport and although there is in theory a financial obligation (RPA) of €54.37 million, the minister has confirmed that he intends to make no payment.
