This was explained by the councilor of the Municipal Socialist Group, Maite Espinosa, who recalled that "many people have no house on the coast and can not afford to rent one or pay a pool day for the whole family in a private facility And even in public. "

For this reason, and since the high temperatures in Murcia have already begun to register, the mayor has called on the PP government to "open the municipal swimming pools in the month of June" and "do not wait for July, when we will take several Months of intense heat and summer days, to make available to Murcia and Murcia the use of municipal swimming pools.

For the socialist councilor "it is the responsibility of the City of Murcia to ensure that the neighbors and neighbors of the municipality that spend the summer here have places to cool off and escape the high temperatures, we remind Ballesta in Murcia are not reduced Only to the months of July and August. "

"It is a question of correcting inequalities, of making it easier for families, whatever their economic situation, to have access to a refreshing bath during these hot months." So we proposed, and it was approved, that the unemployed will pay 50% We hope that these measures will be implemented from minute one of the opening of the facilities this year. And we hope that Ballesta will meet our demand and that of hundreds of users and open the pools in June".
