"The city of Murcia owes more than € 100 today to each minor beneficiary of the dining grant" (11/06/2020)

Mothers of the minors affected by the delay of the dining room scholarship, gathered yesterday Wednesday at 17:00 in the City Hall to ask why the agreed money does not reach them. "For some weeks, we have been suffering the lies of the councilor for Social Services, Pilar Torres, who not only has not prioritized during the confinement the needs of the minors of the municipality, but today still does not give it the importance that they deserve and still do not fulfill their competences, increasingly delaying the entry of the dining room scholarships, "explains Clara Martínez Baeza. Since the state of alarm was decreed, the municipal group Podemos has proposed "in social matters different measures to help alleviate this crisis in our municipality, obviously the leading role and decisions are in the government team, but we have tried to help with proposals constructive and that they try to put in the center of the municipal policies the protection and the well-being of the people and to give answer to the new demands ", they declare from the municipal group. "Some families are owed more than € 100, and other families have not even received the card, so they have been without any help since March 14.

Both the Community and the City Council are responsible; however, the councilor He has announced several times in the press that this matter was already resolved and that the money had already been advanced for payment, "declares Clara Martínez Baeza. "The mothers are tired of waiting, the little they have received they have spent on making the purchase that same day: a payment of € 52.12 on March 30, € 34.92 on April 8 and € 71.68 on May 20 ", these amounts correspond to the income in the wallet card of one of the beneficiary families.

The last payment to some families came, therefore, on May 20, but they still owe part of what was agreed. According to a mother at the gates of the town hall, "due to the pandemic, they proposed to us at the beginning that they were going to give us cards that would be recharged every week, but this has not been the case.

We have been receiving irregular amounts of different amounts , the dining room scholarship is a recognized and budgeted right of those children.

" From the municipal group Podemos are aware "of the work of all the people involved in the Department of Social Rights and Social Welfare and they greatly appreciate the effort, despite the lack of resources at times.

But we ask Pilar Torres to manage now at once this issue and help these families, show that you are up to the council you lead.

" "We did not have the necessary and sufficient listening required by a representative who does social policy.

From our municipal group we have always wanted to join and work for the social welfare of the majority, mothers have been since May 20 without receiving the money to feed to their sons and daughters with this right already recognized and that the City Council denies, that is the reality of the municipality of Murcia, "says Clara Martínez.
