Is it the end of the Caracol Platform?
By Alberto «Tito» Álvarez
We have all seen how at the end of the taxi strikes, the sector has suffered notably, it is true that in some cities more than in others, but in particular there is an association of which today I am going to take the freedom to express my opinion.
The snail platform has been in free fall since the last strike, the board of directors has undergone many changes in recent months as a result of the departure of its two most media taxi drivers, Alfonso and Saul, something totally logical and normal after suffering so much pressure in all the senses.
But what happens inside the snail platform?
Those of us who are outside and know Ignacio Castillo, current member of the association, know perfectly well that he has a “difficult character”, authentic atrocities have been seen in the RRSS because he has totally exploited their official profiles to the point that the association has to issue their communications from a blog or website that he does not control.
Today there are still very valid and honest people within the snail platform, but the truth is that the drop in partners has been too great and the loss of trust due to the presence of Ignacio Castillo weighs too much, it is very sad that the board of directors itself is not capable of stopping him in all his appearances, knowing that no matter how much he speaks on his behalf, he is representing the Caracol Madrid platform.
What is evident cannot be denied, the character of the crazy peseto has eaten Ignacio Castillo and is eating the snail platform, to the point that they are practically only doing radio, where a company that works with is advertised. VTCs in half the world, although in Spain it never will.
Likewise, it seems that the association at the moment does not exceed 100 registered members.
Since the departure of Alfonso and Saúl, who have been publicly insulted for his status as a salaried worker and even trying to question personal things that don’t matter to anyone but him, what has the board of directors of Plataforma Caracol done? To silence.
Where is the red line, how does an association allow everything we are seeing in the social networks of its founder and most media representative and nobody tells him anything?
If you really defend the sector, why do you allow that to happen?
Do you support it? Can’t you stop it? Don’t you want to stop it?
What is worse for the sector, doing it or putting yourself in profile while this happens?
Shield yourself in what are personal issues?
All this is very strange, but it is that time is showing that there is only one Elite Taxi in Madrid and that the snail platform has only been a whim of a «bad boy» who got angry, wanted to stand out and be the one who appeared the most in On TV, now the association is a victim of its internal frustrations and it seems that it has no remedy, because when you hide behind two people like Alfonso and Saúl and they leave …… you get lost alone.
The Elite Taxi Barcelona board of directors has stopped my feet countless times so as not to harm the association and I have complied with the decisions, the association has also come out to defend me when they have put me in the crossfire.
Why doesn’t the snail platform come out to defend its most well-known member and keep quiet when there is a clamor that for the RRSS that the taxi driver does not want trouble?
Why is the brave snail platform always silent in the face of everything that is happening?
Does the snail platform agree with what is happening? Why doesn’t your board of directors show up?
This gives a lot to think about, perhaps they are afraid that private things will come to light, things that they accuse others and they also do and that is why they are silent, at this point and after falling so low I believe everything now … .
Perhaps what the snail platform needs, apart from collecting publicity for a company that has VTCs all over the world, would be democratic elections where this person could be removed once and for all and try to grow.
I will never take out the private conversations of anyone, nor will I record calls, nor will I betray the trust that you give or someone gives you privately, but how many people would be surprised to see what each of them spoke of the other in private.
Let everyone think what they want, to me after crossing the line of attacking my family and that their association still justifies it by being silent, they have managed to make me like everything.
Without acrimony or rancor, I take the same freedom with others who take me and with the associations to which I belong.
