Hernandez recalls "our demand to increase the money for social emergency and create a line for social IBI destined to families in situation of unemployment or with few resources, however, Ballesta's team has no intention of starting it"

The Municipal Socialist Group considers "alarming" that the reports that speak of poverty and social exclusion put the rate in Murcia at 34.7%, which is one third of the population being one of the highest in the country.

Put so much, for the socialist spokesperson, Susana Hernandez, "today, International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, is a day in which we have nothing to celebrate, on the contrary, we must recognize the situation and assume that Murcia is not They are doing things right. "

In this sense, he affirms that "in view of this serious social problem, the solution is clear, it is about investing and having more human and economic resources to start up ongoing programs", adding that "the Social Services representative has stated since For years it has needed more human resources, since they can not cope, however, while the government team excuses itself in difficulties to meet this need for staff of educators and social workers, it has no problem to increase the entourage that accompanies the mayor every time it goes out to the street, and thus no results are achieved or progress is made in the eradication of poverty. "

In addition, Hernandez states that "the PP is more to look the other way and when faced with a neighborhood like the Espiritu Santo, Espinardo, or La Paz, which have dragged for more than a decade a situation of degradation and exclusion, He convinces himself that by painting a mural they cover the real difficulties and deficiencies of its inhabitants ".

Explains that "one of our demands in the 2016 Budget was, among others, to increase the money for social emergency and the creation of a party that we call social IBI and that is intended to help pay this tax to families in situation of unemployment or with few resources, a game that the team of Ballesta, despite the fact that almost three years have passed, it is not able to start up ".

In this regard, notes that "we believe that unfortunately has no intention of carrying it out, since they have three years with promises, although if the problem is that the PP does not know how to do it, we accompany them to the City of Elche, where the Socialists they are running without difficulty. "

The spokeswoman assures that "the PP is hard to admit that not everything is as beautiful and as perfect as they insist on selling us" and notes that "the solution to a problem happens, first, to recognize it".

Remember then that "we already got that the children with food allowance could continue to be cared for during the holiday periods, and this is something that has no way back, therefore, we believe it is essential to continue taking firm and ambitious steps to eradicate the poverty and the exclusion of our society in order that citizens have an opportunity, and for that it is urgent to abandon the strategy of denial ".
