The Municipal Socialist Group has urged to convene the Local Pact for Employment because, according to councilman Sebastián Peñaranda, "by the latest official data and published unemployment, which is growing significantly, we are not to shoot rockets."

He recalled that, taking into account the latest figures, according to which the number of unemployed in the region rises almost 2,000 people, "it is urgent to promote policies and measures that promote employment and not remain impassive as if the problem of unemployment did not worry , when we know that it is one of the main concerns of citizens. "

Therefore, Peñaranda stresses that "we must not lower our guard and the first initiative could be the convening of the Pact for Employment, which has not met for months" and recalled that "this Pact was created in the municipality at the request of a motion presented to the Plenary by the PSOE at the beginning of 2016, being one of its first proposals in this term, and an amendment to the budgets enabled a game of half a million euros for recruitment ".

In addition, he said that, thanks to this initiative has helped with that half a million euros to 62 companies and self-employed to create employment for 92 people without work in the municipality, and at the same time has stressed the need to continue impacting the employment creation.

"We have to strengthen the measures that contribute to new contracts, new self-employment, training and advice to entrepreneurship, as well as incorporate actions that allow us to take advantage of all the opportunities arising from municipal projects because we can not bet everything on the services sector, it is essential to diversify and look for new job niches. "

"Neglecting the problem of unemployment and remain indifferent to it, as it seems that the municipal government team, more concerned about staying in power and false triumphalism, will not mitigate this serious problem and we can not prevent families from Murcia without income, "Peñaranda has warned.

The councilor has requested in writing that the Pact for Local Employment be convened to deal with, among other matters, the degree of execution of the work items for 2017, a brief report on their management and proposals for 2018-2019.
