-Now Murcia claims that the call is open and publicized, so that they can access it all families that meet objective criteria

-Alzamora: "It is paradoxical that the municipal budgets of 2018 invest in programs for the" smart city "Smart City - but they leave out a large part of the neighbors most in need of the municipality of Murcia"

NOW MURCIA criticizes that the aid for summer feeding of children from needy families in the municipality is paid "once the summer ends, in the months of September and October."

Councilman Miguel Angel Alzamora states that "this is what happened last year with the aid granted by the Department of Social Rights, and this year is the same way, since at this late summer families have not yet received those amounts. "

Alzamora explains that the City Council's financial aid is motivated by the fact that school canteens close during the summer.

Since last year, for the closure of the dining rooms and the demand of groups like Murcia Now in the Municipal Plenary to carry out agreements with schools and can open dining rooms, the City has provided low-income families income an economic help of about 200 euros per child, so that they can assume the cost of food during the summer season.

The families that use these aids are already users of other programs of the Department of Social Rights, but these aids, as indicated by Alzamora, should be published and offered for the entire population, since there are other families who are not yet users of these programs. but they would also have the right to access them.

From Now Murcia "we believe that communication and dissemination of the existence of these aids has to be much broader, and open it to the entire population with objective criteria, so that it reaches all families in need," since day after day Check the increase in poverty in our municipality and the situation of risk of exclusion suffered by an important part of the population of our municipality.

Councilman Alzamora states that "we do not understand that if you are giving money for the summer, that aid is requested in May and June but not be made effective to families until September and October, as happened last year and it seems that to pass this, because they have not yet paid. "

He also asks that "if money is for children to eat in summer, why do they give it in the fall? Something is failing".

Alzamora adds that "we are once again witnessing the lack of interest and little effectiveness of the Popular Party government in combating poverty and, as in this case, child poverty, despite Unicef's denunciation of the alarming figures in our municipality." .

For the municipal training "the budgets of the City Council are still very inadequate and also remain poorly managed, while from the EU deepens in the need for social policies, which mainly affect social housing policies, increase public places in nursery schools and school reinforcement, in supplementary aids to fight against the increase of poverty and the progressive increase of the figure of the poor worker, among many others, the City Council of Murcia continues with its charitable policy, of putting patches , that continue to submerge the most needy families in processes of social suffering that is being reproduced from parents to children.From Murcia we are making viable proposals throughout the legislature that is being rejected systematically by PP and C, s, and now they want us sell again budgets that speak of a smart city but that leaves out a lot of

the neighbors with more needs of the municipality ".
