Councilor Antonio Benito explains that "if the City Council says to pay its suppliers soon, we cannot understand why it continues to leave for the last to pay an essential aid for hundreds of families on a regular basis", and considers it "a shame to skimp on the bread of the most vulnerable " The Municipal Socialist Group once again denounces the "unfortunate management of the dining grants." After the multiple complaints made during the months of confinement and de-escalation because the families of the minor beneficiaries did not receive the money to purchase their meals on time, "we find ourselves again with the same problem.

We have entered a loop and there is no way that the the councilor responsible for Social Rights learns from her mistakes or anticipates the inconveniences of a payment with which there is already experience, even if it is not exactly good, "says Socialist councilor Antonio Benito. In this regard, he explains that families are complaining that in July they received a payment of 20 euros "a miserable amount, and we are not very sure that it corresponds to the days of July, but to what they had left to collect from June, which seems indecency to us because hunger and poverty cannot be parked, they have no waiting or vacations.

" Also, remember that in April, the Socialist Group and Podemos Murcia defended a motion to extend the dining scholarships to the entire summer that was approved.

Subsequently, it was included in the Murcia Reactivation Plan, approved by the majority of the Corporation and was later announced by Mayor Ballesta and the responsible councilor, Pilar Torres. "This is an extraordinary help for difficult times.

If we all agree, if there are technical means to do it, if the City Council says to pay its suppliers soon, we cannot understand why it continues to leave until the last to pay regularly an essential aid for hundreds of families, "adds Benito.

The socialist mayor states that" it is a shame that in the same Murcia that celebrates its gastronomic capital without sparing expenses, they lie to us and skimp on the bread of the most vulnerable.

I think many people need the PP leave the party where you live, go out to talk with those who are having the worst of it and thus be able to feel empathy with those who are suffering the most from the current crisis ", and points out that," as I said in the last plenary session,I believe that we have not yet understood the deep economic and social crisis that COVID-19 brings.

We need a municipal government that understands the serious problem we face.

" For the socialist councilor, this situation "no longer has an appellation, the City Council, which represents all the neighbors, whatever their conditions, is haggling on school menus, and families meanwhile desperate."
