Councilwoman Rosa Mar criticism, after making an analysis of 2012 matches for Equality Policy and Cooperation, the lack of solidarity of the Partido Popular to reduce aid to less developed countries by € 300,000 to balance their budgets
The mayor Mar Rosa claims that the PP in La Glorieta has taken a brutal snip its policy of cooperation in reducing the budget of 47.56% service Cooperation, which will increase from 684,124 euros in 2011 to 358,788 in 2012.
"Now more than ever, we can not close our eyes to these situations, there is another way to understand the distribution of public money other than that of the PP and the least developed countries continue to need support and solidarity of Murcia," said the mayor .
Propaganda and Terra Natura
The PSOE Councillor remember that this cut is exemplified by the reduction of € 300,000 under the heading of 'Development Aid', which had € 500,000 in 2011 and will pass only € 200,000 in 2012.
"It is unacceptable when the entire budget of the City Council will allocate 689,330 euros to 'Advertising and Propaganda' and remains untouchable the grant of 2,800,000 per year to operate the park Terra Natura. With the money you receive this resort for 40 days and cut more balanced in this game of cooperation, "says Mar Rosa.
Betting on volunteering

"It's an initiative that applies not only to economic difficulties because the austerity must be a command that always prevail in government."
Equality is not only training

"Unlike the PP, PSOE itself has shown that believes in equality and built horizontally in all actions of their governments."
Accessibility Office paper is
Finally, the Socialist councilor noted that the Office of Accessibility, created at the beginning of this term, starting not assigned so will remain a mere declaration of intent which shows that the PP is not thinking about the people who need more attention.
"It should have its own budget to be more than an advisory body to implement a real plan to remove barriers to accessibility in our neighborhoods and districts starting with public buildings (schools, colleges) to set an example", explains the mayor.
