As explained Serna, "the school canteen function is not only to feed the students", but is "an indispensable tool for the coexistence of students", where all eat the same food and the same quality.

"

To Murcia UPyD adjustment measures and cuts made from the regional government in education and practice affecting all the areas that make up this sector "are not inevitable as you want to believe, but are political decisions" .

"

"We believe that the rising price of school meals" carried out from the Ministry of Education "not justifiable" given the social situation in the region, "in which the rates of poverty and social exclusion experienced by successive increases year after year, "says Serna.
