The Municipal Socialist Group spokesman, Pedro López, announces that since early this year, "the Socialist Group will continue to insist on raising initiatives in the City so that when children reach the next holiday of families with fewer resources are guaranteed a feed appropriate at times when no class. "
Pedro López remember this Christmas, "the municipalities of Lorca and Molina de Segura have kept the school meal service to approximately 150 underprivileged children thanks to an agreement with the Red Cross which shows that there are ways to address the problem itself is no political will ".
"You can not be in a situation that affects other municipalities in the region and Spain, Murcia is an island. We have data of their own Ministry of Education estimated at 500 children lacking power without scholarship, of which over 160 cases would be located in the municipality of Murcia, "said Lopez.
"It is a clear need and it is therefore necessary to have a network of school canteens open throughout the year in schools to avoid stigmatizing children from families in need," the PSOE mayor.
Socialist spokesman finds it regrettable that the City wash hands before this problem leading to organizations like Caritas and Red Cross you have to be concerned with addressing such an important social problem.
Lopez recalled that as early as April of last year the PSOE presented a motion in Parliament calling for action for this situation, "we would be embarrassed in the end have to be these organizations who put up this service due to the lack of involvement of the City."
"Unfortunately, the PP refuses to accept they have a problem because they are still playing politics from the offices and not stepping on the street. Therefore raising measures will continue to respond as soon as possible," Lopez says.
