The socialist spokesman warns of "how desperate it must be for the vulnerable families of our municipality to contemplate how their mayor is dedicated to applause or to supervise the repainting of pedestrian crossings while they are economically on the brink of the abyss" The Municipal Socialist Group considers that the councilor of the PP, responsible for Social Services, a priority portfolio that requires an agile, responsible and effective profile, must cease from her powers after the "lousy management at the head of her department, blatantly evidenced with the children who are beneficiaries of the dining room scholarship ", explains the socialist spokesman, José Antonio Serrano. "It is not just that we have 3,000 children in our municipality who are beneficiaries of the dining room scholarships for 36 days without receiving a euro to ensure the meals to which they are entitled, but we also know that aid for social emergencies has suffered a delay in months, "explains Serrano, who demands that Mayor Ballesta cease and ask for the resignation of the Councilor for Social Services, Pilar Torres. It must be remembered that yesterday the municipal groups of PSOE and Podemos denounced the situation of neglect of Murcian children with a dining room grant, to which Torres replied accusing the Ministry of Social Policy, whose head, Isabel Franco, has come out today " showing the embarrassments regarding the deficiencies and ineptitude in the decision making of this department and remembering that it is waiting for the updated list of children to continue with the management of the second payment corresponding to the dining room scholarships, "says the socialist spokesman. As stated in Franco's letter to Ballesta, "and it is not all, together with the dining room scholarships I inform you that the social services of your City Council have pending the management of Basic Income for Insertion applications since January of this year and files on dependency ", to which Serrano points out that" as we said yesterday, the hunger of our neighbors cannot wait for bureaucratic procedures or for the lack of interest of the political leaders, especially when, in this specific case, there is a staff of social workers who are giving their all despite being overcome by the situation, so clearly the failure is in the head of this department that does not resolve quickly and effectively.

" In this regard, remember that in plenary "We have approved the expansion of this template because social policy must be at the top of the priorities and decisions.

"Likewise, the motion was also approved so that the beneficiaries of the dining scholarship are covered on non-school days and even in summer. Serrano warns "how desperate it must be for the vulnerable families of our municipality to contemplate how their mayor is dedicated to applause or to supervise the repainting of pedestrian crossings with a whole display of flashes, while they are economically on the brink of the abyss". For this reason, he declares that "from the Socialist Group we consider that in these times and anticipating situations that may be worse, only the best and most capable should be making political decisions, especially when they affect the most vulnerable neighbors of our municipality ". "We believe that at the moment the superfluous, the frivolous and the useless should disappear from the political agenda, Murcians deserve no less," added the spokesman.
