| The councilor for Social Rights, Pilar Torres, has advanced that "this week we are going to make another subscription to families worth 160,000 euros to ensure the provision of the service to the 3,000 scholarship recipients of the municipality "| The councilor for Social and Family Rights, Pilar Torres, has reiterated that "the payment of the dining scholarships in the municipality of Murcia is guaranteed until the end of the school year." The mayor lamented that "the PSOE and Podemos have returned to use the pain of the most vulnerable families for partisan purposes.
It is sad to see how they stigmatize people and politicize the suffering of those who are having the worst time." The mayor of the PP has advanced that "this week we are going to make another subscription to families worth 160,000 euros to guarantee the provision of the service to the 3,000 scholarship holders in the municipality." With this payment the Murcia City Council will carry 650,000 euros in advance to ensure that the dining room scholarships reach all the beneficiaries recognized by the Ministry. In this regard, Torres recalled that "on March 27 we approved an advance of 168,123 euros.
A week later, on April 3, we approved another, worth 104,480 euros, and on May 20 we advanced the payment of another 215,000 euros to recharge the cards that families have.
In total, we have advanced 650,000 euros.
" Likewise, the councilor explained that "we continue to work on the procedures necessary to carry out new recharges on families until the last school day of this school year is covered." Pilar Torres has encouraged both the PSOE and Podemos to review the intervention made two days ago in the Regional Assembly by the regional deputy of Podemos María Marín, who, in the Health and Social Policy Commission, during the dining scholarship debate , He commented that "with this matter the hot potato was passed to the municipalities without offering resources or any type of support to deal with the situation." Torres has indicated that "it seems that the Podemos councilors in the Murcia City Council do not know what they are saying in their own party." The mayor of Social Rights has valued "the great effort that the Murcian Consistory is making with this topic, since of the 5,000 scholarship holders that exist in the entire Region, 3,000 belong to the Murcia City Council, which is by far the one that more minors attend to the whole Community ". Similarly, Torres has supported the regional government in its request to the central executive for more funds for the dining room scholarships and recalled that the councilor Isabel Franco announced this week that "the dining room scholarships will not be extended during the summer period because the State does not It has provided the means for this.
" For this reason, Torres has affirmed that "PSOE and Podemos are mistaken of door to demand a better management of the dining room scholarships.
They must request explanations from their own parties." The councilor concluded by recalling that the management that is being carried out in Murcia for the dining scholarships is the same that is being applied in other territories of Spain.
"In cities like Madrid, Alicante, Oviedo and Valladolid the same thing is being done as in Murcia," Torres explained.
