Councilwoman Policy Staff of the City of Lorca, Fátima Mínguez, has clarified that all proposals made by the PSOE to the cultural offerings of the elderly in the municipality already running, many of them even have several years of implementation within the extensive catalog of activities being developed by the council in this matter.
Mínguez thanked the sudden interest of the PSOE in this regard, and has clarified that cultural and leisure centers of people over Lorca is constructed by groups of elderly themselves since 2007, consisting of the initiatives demand by stakeholders, making it "very unfortunate" qualify as "poorly educated and humanities," as it is referred to the local elders as "geriatric care centers".
I honestly think they've had better days.
The Department of the Mayor, created in 2007 by Mayor Francisco Jodar, works under a Community offer, in which the biggest part in all activities of the City Council, adapting all activities for the elderly.
When the PSOE criticized this program as being of "low cultural level and humanities", it seems unaware that in our town there are many specially designed opportunities for the elderly, such as "Grandparents Storytellers" theater workshops, book clubs, lectures on healthy eating, intergenerational program, the "Campaign to Prevent Falls", the "Meeting of Senior Athletes" with the participation of more than 200 over lorquinas residences, the "Read without Barriers" Cultural Week dedicated especially older in which there was a group exhibition of works, storytelling, a Master Class relaxation, gymnastics and music therapy and Dance Gala, among other activities.
The most recent of cultural development in the group of older example, note the publication of the book "The folktale of Lorca," which collected 854 traditional folktales, published in two volumes, thanks to the intervention of 214 over 19 lorquinas pedanías .
As for the critique of the PSOE to the use of new technologies by older we remember that there is a group of "Ciberabuelos" which even created the website of the Department, with historical photographs, audio stories and multiple resources and in collaborating up photographs and other material, especially in the recovery program of the legacy of our greatest introducing traditional games, recipes and sharing information on their own blogs.

From City of Lorca do not understand how far, three months after filing the programming of Senior Centers, the PSOE criticized this range of activities, we believe it is a critical totally unfortunate and untimely, as this program benefits nearly 700 higher and wide on 5 the total number of courses, reaching and 45. of these, 25 are health education in their modality of gymnastics adapted (1,100 hours), while cognitive stimulation (176 hours) 4 perform, 9 artistic nature (396 hours) and 7 correspond to other matters related to New Technologies (440 hours).
As a whole this program includes 2,112 hours of workshops.
Also out of place that the PSOE claims that an agreement already exists is established, and in fact was signed last September by the own Mayor of Lorca, Francisco Jodar, with Cajamurcia Foundation for workshops that promote health and quality of life of older people, in addition to the existing with the La Caixa Foundation.
Note that this municipal area has received numerous awards and honors regionally and nationally for the excellent work done with the elderly.
