Alicia Morales: "At the core of our electoral program emergency measures and medium term lie to rescue the poorest of the municipality"

NOW MURCIA today expressed strong commitment to the citizen rescue and strong support to the poorest of the municipality.

This commitment will materialize in the coming days in the signing of a pact with EAPN, the Network for Combating Poverty and Social Exclusion in the Region of Murcia.

The candidate for mayor of Murcia Alicia Morales and number 3 on the list of NOW MURCIA, Luis Bermejo, met this morning with the board of EAPN, chaired Diego Cruzado, to address issues at the agenda of this association and also a central part of the electoral program of the municipal political party.

Among the topics discussed at the meeting are the basic income, financial benefits for minor children and support families and organizations working in the field of social exclusion and poverty.

Alicia Morales recalled that "in the center of the electoral program of NOW MURCIA emergency measures and medium term lie to rescue the poorest of the municipality".

In this regard, we have also dealt with other issues EAPN will be specified in the agreement, such as the promotion of employment among the most excluded groups or promotion of a free municipality of evictions.

In addition to action against poverty housing (housing) will complete the deal elsewhere such as the fight against energy poverty.

EAPN reminds the Arope fee (risk of poverty and / or social exclusion) was, in the final year of its publication, almost 7 points higher in the region compared to the national average: 34.1% of the population Murcia vs. 27.3% in Spain.

Meanwhile, the percentage of people with Severe Material Deprivation was also significantly higher in the region (9%) compared to the national average (6.2%).

The pact will seek the reduction of working these and other indicators, especially in the 'active inclusion', which is based on three pillars: access to quality jobs;

access to social services and benefits of quality and, especially, a system of minimum incomes to allow the percipient people are above the poverty line.
