"In these times of severe economic crisis should spend that money to help the 800,000 families in Spain in which no member is employed.

It is as if a city like Valencia had all its inhabitants are unemployed and the government preferred to spend 30 million on advertising rather than help the thousands of people who need the solidarity and care for all, "he said.

House has said that "I deeply regret this attitude, while also criticized plans to place posters of 12 square meters of propaganda of the Government of the Nation, in some cases" may be larger than the actual scope of the work.

All because you want to talk more about propaganda than reality. "

Another provision later, dated Jan. 13, was used to decide that the label had to "grow" to 14 square meters (plus sign height of 2 meters).

With an average of $ 3,000 per unit, representing a total expenditure of 30 million euros.

In addition, the Chamber stressed that curiosity, as the design required, signs should be left blank third of its surface, which means that it will invest 10 million euros to say nothing.

In the Region of Murcia, the 125 signs will occupy over 8,000 square meters, which means, if put together, would fill more than one and half football field.

Moreover, Spain will be flooded poster coinciding with three electoral events: Galicia, Basque Country and Europe.

Contrary to the ordinances.

Help those who need it most

Therefore, the Mayor claims that the money go instead of the cartels, the social action, which is more necessary than ever.

It is an attitude and inexplicable unaffordable right now, "he added

Moreover, the Governing Board today approved the start of a special file to allocate 30,000 euros for the purchase of food and its distribution through Caritas as the serious economic situation is driving the demand for food by this association is growing.
