Councillor Consistory Murcia stressed that in this municipality the purchase and subsequent supply "affects services such as day care or meals on wheels, which are also groups for a healthy and balanced diet is, yet if anything, more relevant".
Morales recalled that this initiative "does not only affect the health of neighbors, but also related to the purchase of proximity, which is a cornerstone of the model municipality of Murcia now."
