The PSOE denounces, in addition, that "the PP has let enter in the institutional act of the International Women's Day to all the world except to the Women of Assistance to Domicilio that claim to collect the five payrolls backwards and that they stop to infringe their rights ".

The Municipal Socialist Group has joined today, March 8, the International Women's Stop which in the Region of Murcia has been promoted by the Women's Stoppage Platform of which the PSRM-PSOE is part.

A strike that, explained Socialist Councilor Susana Hernandez "is a small gesture that seeks to make visible that we are many and that we will not stop fighting for our rights and pursue real equality."

In this sense, the mayor of the PSOE has lamented that, once again, "the government of the PP is photographed while not committed decisively to take more actions of support and impetus for women. Equality for the PP is only An excuse, as it is on March 8, to show off in the face of the gallery is doing everything possible while nothing changes.

The socialist councilor has criticized the lack of equality of opportunities policies promoted by the City of Murcia, as well as aid for the entrepreneurship of women or awareness campaigns on equality, respect or co-responsibility between men and women to 50% .

"Articles in the press and institutional acts are very good when behind there is a real intention to carry out what is promised. Unfortunately, there is still a lot to do in the municipality of Murcia and it is the government of Ballesta that has the Responsibility for betting on equality between men and women starting with the local administration itself. "

In this regard, Hernández recalled that, "currently in the City of Murcia is still called 'heads of service' to women who hold that position, an anecdote that may seem small, but is very significant."

Likewise, the socialist councilor lamented that the Ballesta team had no interest in changing the hour of the institutional event, scheduled for 12 hours, to allow councilors who wanted to make the stop, to attend both events.

"That on the International Women's Day, the Ballesta government has not been able to change the hour of the institutional event to allow the stoppage of the women's meeting in the region to be held, demonstrates the interest that this day has for The PP, beyond the photo ".

"Rajoy, Pedro Antonio Sánchez, Ballesta and the PP do not have Equality among their priorities.This has been the continuous cuts that equality policies have been suffering since the PP occupies the government of Spain.The wage gap between men And women, the problems to reconcile work and family life, the rate of female unemployment and, of course, the scourge of gender violence, shows that we need a responsible and committed Administration, starting at the municipal level, "Hernandez concluded.

For Home Help women, is it also their day?

Throughout the morning, Home Help workers have manifested together with the City of Murcia to claim payment of the four payrolls that are owed them and to demand solutions to Mayor Ballesta.

During that meeting, which has been joined by women socialists, members of the PP have gone out to ask the collective to be silent.

"It is outrageous, a real shame, that Ballesta and his team celebrate International Women's Day with an act in the consistory, smiling for the photo, while asking real women with real problems to be quiet so as not to hinder the course of the same "It is incomprehensible the lack of sensitivity and responsibility of the PP government to the women of Home Help. I am embarrassed as a woman and as a councilor of this council," explained Councilwoman Susana Hernandez, who has achieved after many attempts and despite Of the strong police cordon posted at the door of the City Council, that these workers can access the offices of the PSOE to speak "since no one from the PP is willing to face them."

Hernández has demanded Ballesta "to listen at once to the demands of this group, to put immediate solutions and rescind the contract with a defaulting company that should not be providing a service on behalf of the City of Murcia at the expense of their employees," and Has recalled that "today, March 8, more than ever, these women deserve the respect of the mayor."
