The Municipal Socialist Group believes that the negative data regarding the increase in the number of unemployed are a reflection of "the frivolity with which the PP treats this competition, which is part of a Department (Economic Promotion, Culture and European Programs) where its responsible , Jesús Pacheco, is more engaged in the 'boat-cinema' than in policies to promote employment and support entrepreneurs, "says Councilman Sebastián Peñaranda.
The data released by the Ministry today show that the employment generated in the Region and, consequently, in the municipality of Murcia, are "of low quality and of a lot of temporality", explains the councilor, who adds that "the nonexistence of a strategy of serious employment and without excuses make that the only jobs that are created in our municipality are temporary and only linked to the hospitality industry ".
"The mayor Ballesta and the responsible councilor should not keep throwing balls out arguing that employment is not a municipal competence and, at the same time, not execute the entire budget allocated to this matter," he says.
Likewise, it states that the agreement of PP and Citizens for the 2018 Budget does not include among its 'star points' the creation of employment, unlike the pact reached by the PSOE in which more than one million euros was consigned, above Initially the PP, to support the entrepreneurial projects of the municipality.
"It can not be that in the same council converge the powers of employment, parties and culture and that its responsible is responsible for this part-time portfolio," says Peñaranda and notes that "the Municipal Group has always defended since the beginning of the mandate , and will continue to do so, the importance of employment within municipal competencies with the motion that created the Local Pact for Employment, which the PP is allowing to die. "
For the councilman, it would be more logical to unite the competences of employment to those of commerce and tourism than to those of celebrations, since, "by the facts and results, this last one demands all the attention of the councilman Pacheco".
