The aforementioned Plan was sent this morning to the social partners."Murcians and Murcians expect from their political representatives the commitment and responsibility to mitigate the damage caused by this pandemic and, above all, to be together with all those people who will be unemployed and in a situation of evident vulnerability," explains the spokesman.

.Likewise, it declares that "we are at the moment when it is necessary to put aside the realization of expenses that are not considered priority, adopting as a primary objective not to leave behind the people and groups that are in the worst situation to face the future".Therefore, the urgent adoption of measures in the field of active employment policy, support for trade, SMEs and the self-employed will be mandatory, directing the proposals, above all, to rescue people in the face of the consequences of the situation we are living in.

Among these, initiatives related to improving access to decent housing should be a priority.

Likewise, Serrano warns that absolute coordination between administrations is essential under the premises of co-responsibility, solidarity and loyalty.In this sense, the socialist spokesperson highlights that within the structure of the Murcia City Council, municipal boards must occupy a primary role when preparing and transmitting an analysis of the situation of their neighborhoods and districts in collaboration with the associations of each one of them and with the municipal officials designated for these tasks.Among the social protection measures, the extraordinary provision of investments in the municipal budget, the expansion of the staff of primary care workers, the advance of the nominal grants corresponding to 2020 or the creation of transitional housing to facilitate temporary accommodation are pointed out.

.Among the economic measures, one of the measures is to include a budget item of € 6,000,000 to help the self-employed, exemption of fees for certain establishments and extension of the payment period, implementation of different training actions for owners and employees, related to how to relaunch a business after the crisis period, change "Murcia, Gastronomic Capital" to 2021 and that everything that was budgeted be released for the promotion of the sector, develop a tourism promotion plan in the national framework or initiatives to cultural revival.As for measures to promote employment, it is proposed to expedite urgently the signing of agreements with business associations, the Social Economy and the Third Sector, hiring aids or an entrepreneurship plan for young people."All the measures are open to society and their financing must be reflected in the municipal budgets, which it is true that they will suffer a cut in income," says Serrano, who insists on the obligation to abandon non-priority projects, non-urgent investments and superfluous expenses, prioritizing Spending on People.
