"Youth policies must be developed in spaces of maximum autonomy for decision-making, and we understand that it is necessary to give them the space that this sector of the population deserves," he added.
The mayor recalled that youth policies "can not focus exclusively on leisure activities and free time," and that is why Murcia Murcia introduced at the beginning of the legislature a motion to draw up a Youth Plan, which is now in deadlock due to a problem of competences derived from the reform of the Law of Bases of Local Regime.
"We consider it necessary to highlight the policies of youth that are suffering a constant attack with the successive regulatory reforms of the PP," concluded Guerrero.
