The allocation of vacancies in the weekly municipal markets of the City Council will resume on 23 January following the motion presented by Now Murcia in the Plenary of last October.
His councilor and spokesperson, Alicia Morales, is satisfied with this announcement, communicated today in writing to the municipal group, "since this depends on the livelihood of many Murcia families."
The mayor explains that the motion, defended on October 27 and to which Councilwoman Maruja Pelegrin refers in her letter, established a maximum period of 3 months to resume the award.
Morales recalls that in June 2015, that is to say, at the beginning of the current legislature, the adjudication process was paralyzed, with currently more than 500 vacancies in the different weekly markets and more than half thousand registered to occupy them, in addition to those that Have requested it after the deadline.
The councilor of Now Murcia explains that this lack of award for more than a year "has caused hundreds of sellers that currently can not develop their business in the markets, which is an obvious risk for these families can carry a If these vendors can not have a municipal license in Murcia, they will probably have no means of livelihood, and this serious dilation in the allocation of jobs can encourage those who sell in violation of the ordinances, Something that obviously from the administrations should not be encouraged ".
Morales adds that "the significant number of vacancies increase the problems in the control of the markets, making it difficult for the Inspection and Collection staff to work, fomenting unfair competition and ultimately affecting the proper functioning of the markets."
