The spokesman for IU-Greens in the city of Murcia, Esther Herguedas, warned today at a press conference of the "risk of loss" from the municipal social services for the implementation of the Local Reform and the "significant impact" it will have on the citizens and workers who perform work in this area.
The mayor, who will present in plenary tomorrow a motion on behalf of social services, said that the new law ignores how this system is set up in the last thirty years in Spain, acquired in this period "sufficient identity to be recognized as the fourth pillar of our welfare state. "
Herguedas noted that in late 2016 the municipalities lose the responsibility for social services have developed "with full satisfaction and effectiveness", to be assumed by the Autonomous Community.
This means, according to the mayor, "the fort on the proximity of services and improved governance is removed, leaving individuals and families in the hands of a government, the provincial and autonomous communities, who do not know their reality and their needs. "
"The government is destroying the social services system in its core network, although this system is more efficient at the local level in the regional. None made a serious scientific and economic reasoning, or a detailed analysis of the impacts real in the population, "he complained.
For IU-Greens, the new law seeks to impose a framework on which social citizenship rights are not guaranteed, "in an attempt to draw a welfare state based on beneficence and social rights."
In addition, he noted that this process occurs in a context of crisis, when the Regional Administration, "which has not yet begun to worry about the issue," it has to face "significant cuts" in time 300 million euros this year.
"All this seems to indicate that these services be privatized even then are not a business, but disappear directly," apostille.
Meanwhile, fellow Councilman IU-Green has filed another motion that the group will to plenary on Thursday, intended that the City will incorporate "immediately" to the Plan against the shadow economy in the Region of Murcia, agreed in 2012.
The Plan states that the Autonomous Community;
Inspectorate of Labour and Social Security;
the Federation of Municipalities of the Region of Murcia;
the most representative business organization and the CCOO and UGT trade unions "consider appropriate measures included in the action plan."
Tornel considered that the mayor, Miguel Angel House, has a "direct and significant" responsibility as president of the Federation of Municipalities of the Region (FMRM) in Murcia commitment to incorporate the protocol of cooperation between the Community and the FMRM.
In this protocol indicates that FMRM undertakes to promote the formalization of agreements between the council and the competent counseling in working to establish "the need for those to facilitate this information on activities that may have for some of these pathways. .. "statements relating to, permits, registrations and other annotations that are related to economic activity in municipal services.
"Two years have passed since Mayor subscribed the agreement, yet to date the council has joined the active collaboration in the fight against the shadow economy", which they have made thirty municipalities in the Region of Murcia .
For the council, "participation in this Plan was another playing to the Chamber as mayor of Murcia, which parodies the Chamber president FMRM, signer of the Plan."
He stated that while "the priority was the subject of employment inaugural address in 2011," has not been of municipal political practices.
"Real gestures against the underground economy absent and so feed rates of unemployment, job insecurity and poverty in Murcia. Meanwhile, the terrorist organization IMF allowed into Spain without arresting their members, inspect our policy fiscal and recommend measures as falling wages, higher indirect taxes (VAT), the companies take away or lowering of dismissal, "he added.
