The Municipal Socialist Group warns the government team, PP, that it will not accept the privatization of the Center for Reconciliation of Work and Family Life, especially when the building is built with public money on public land.

"We know that the dynamics of the Ballesta team is to outsource municipal services, which then offer much more expensive rates to the neighbors than a completely private service," warns Councilor Susana Hernández.

He also states that "we have requested that this new and closed center of lime and singing from 2015 be part of the network of nursery schools and, although we have responded with the excuse that the opening hours are much wider, until The 20 hours, this has an easy solution, until 16 or 17 hours could work as a children's school and then offering extra school activities.

"But it is also that the closure of this Center is causing its deterioration, as we have seen on Monday with the Association of Neighbors Place of Don Juan, El Palmar, whose president, Lorenzo Jimenez, claims the opening of these facilities Because they are very necessary for the locality, "says the councilor.

Hernández says that "we have denounced the PP on several occasions for twenty-one years without creating a place for Early Childhood Education in the municipality, especially when it had a building built and equipped in El Palmar, which remains unopened without creating new squares of 0 To 3 years with affordable rates to benefit Murcia families ".

Therefore, he states that "we have a center completed in El Palmar since 2011, where more than one million euros were invested and should function as a Center for Conciliation of Work and Family Life, integrated in the Network of Kindergartens Municipalities and offering children's education places at affordable public prices and yet closed, deteriorating and waiting to be managed by a private company. "

"It is a round business, the City Council puts all the infrastructure and the concessionaire only has to arrive and charge for the service, I insist, more expensive than that of any private daycare", points out the councilor, who adds that it is also " A detriment "for families who have the right to access public places in Early Childhood Education.

"It is not understood that in our municipality a family has to pay almost three hundred euros a month to leave their child in a day care (located in a public building) and go to work, compared to one hundred and thirty-three maximum that costs one Place of municipal management.This is but a new example of how little the PP believes in public education, "he concludes.
