"They are the best prepared generation, they cannot be punished with every crisis.

Murcia needs a youth municipal plan that stops the uncertainty that young people face in the face of the Covid-19 crisis" Carmen Frucutoso, socialist councilor In these extraordinary circumstances caused by the Covid crisis19, the problems of young people are once again at a crossroads of uncertainties.

"The situation is different from that of a few months ago and this should force us to reorient the resources and budgets of the Murcia City Council," explains Carmen Fructuoso. "The problems of young Murcians have changed and in many cases, increased.

The increase in unemployment, online training that requires access to a good internet connection and adequate computing devices, the inability to access university to those families with fewer resources ...

These are the realities that young people are facing now and that the Murcia City Council must tackle in youth policies, "explains Carmen Fructuoso, the socialist councilor. "This generation has been affected by two major recessions over the course of a decade, something unprecedented.

The great recession of 2008, the coronavirus crisis and the economic recession of covid-19.

We must study this new social and economic context So that our actions and priorities are directed in the right direction, what good would they do if not? "asks Fructuoso. "Our young people need us and expect us to provide solutions to their problems since we are the administration closest to them.

For this reason, we bring to the next plenary session a motion in which we propose the development of a young plan that guarantees that the consequences of this crisis will not be paid by the same generation over and over again, "reports the mayor.

"They are the best prepared generation, they cannot be punished with every crisis, without opportunities, or a future close to their own," says Fructuoso. "In order to carry out the youth plan, we propose that a first youth table composed of all municipal political and technical groups be launched as soon as possible.

At this table the draft youth plan will be drawn up.

convene youth associations and collectives so that, as direct connoisseurs of youth problems, they can contribute, modify and enrich this draft, "says Fructuoso.
