Why did people hate the LEZ in your opinion?

EDIT: Article says “City centre residents are happy with the LEZ “

It's probably residents far from the city center that hate the LEZ. Most residents in the center would likely prefer the whole center to be closed to cars, as public transportation is quite good there.

Notice that the politician in question is not a candidate for mayor of the city, it's the candidate governor of the whole region around the city.

Are you speaking specifically about residents from Madrid center or just generic city center residents?

They wanted to be able to use their cars, obviously. Why else?
