The councilor for Social Rights recalled that "the sudden crisis of the coronavirus has led to a limit situation for social services throughout Spain.
In Murcia three months ago we presented a plan to encourage economic and social recovery and help the most vulnerable " The councilor for Social and Family Rights, Pilar Torres, has stated that "the City Council has attended to all the people who have approached asking for help as a consequence of the effects generated by the spread of Covid-19". The mayor reminded the socialist Esther Nevado that "while the PSOE has taken more than two months to react, we articulated three months ago a Social Support and Economic Activation Plan, endowed with 19 million, and that seeks to encourage economic reactivation and social and helping the most vulnerable.
" The PP councilor stressed that "the sudden crisis caused by the coronavirus has led to a limit situation for social services throughout Spain.
The volume of work has increased, but the workers of the Department have made a commendable effort not to leave no help to process or any service to provide ". Torres has regretted that "as usual, the PSOE is late and requests measures that are already being done.
We reinforced the financial resources of the Department to ensure the care of the most disadvantaged groups and ensure that the most vulnerable have coverage." The mayor of the PP explained that "we allocate 500,000 euros to process urgent social emergency aid for families and minors to cover the basic needs of food, toiletries and pharmacy for those most in need." Likewise, Torres recalled that "we released another 250,000 euros to grant subsidies to non-profit entities that are dedicated to caring for vulnerable families.
We also earmarked an additional 247,000 euros for extraordinary service contracts with companies for the management of resources that are required as a consequence of the effects of the pandemic, such as home care and home meals for dependent people.
" The Councilor for Family regretted that "Mrs.
Nevado detracts from the important work carried out by individuals, companies and entities with their donations.
The work of third sector entities is vital.
That is why we approved an extraordinary grant worth 750,000 euros for Cáritas Diocesana, Red Cross and the Food Bank ". Pilar Torres explained that "in coordination with Cáritas and the Red Cross, we have extended the food delivery service to provide care throughout the municipality.
We are serving more than 2,000 people, of whom more than 600 are minors." The mayor of the PP has concluded by reminding Esther Nevado that "criticism is very easy.
We prefer to dedicate ourselves to work and strive to provide solutions to the demands that the citizens send us.
In the Department of Social Rights we have always functioned this way and we are not going to change".
