The PSOE takes to the Plenary the interest of the youth of Lorca to recover the local Youth Card and the habilitation of study rooms 24 hours.
The Socialists say that the youth group is completely "forgotten" by the Popular Party
The councilor of the PSOE in the City of Lorca, María Ángeles Mazuecos has announced that they will take a motion to the next Plenary to demand the implementation of the local youth card.
It is an initiative to which the PP was committed a year ago in the Plenary, without anything they have done since then to put it into practice.
Judging by the lack of ideas and by the little commitment of the Popular Party, "there is a large age group of Lorca and Lorca that are totally forgotten by the government team."
The non-implementation of the Youth Card adds to the refusal to enable study rooms with more flexible schedules, as demanded by the student body.
These are two initiatives that the PSOE already presented at the Plenary Session of the City of Lorca.
Specifically, the young card, in July 2017 and another in April 2016. Since then, the Popular Party "has had more than enough time to push both measures and has not done so."
According Mazuecos points out, the local youth card proposed for young people between 14 and 31 years would have as an objective that this group can access discounts on certain municipal services such as swimming pools, parking or concerts, as well as commercial establishments that would like to adhere.
On the other hand, they highlight, "it has been more than two years since the opening of 24-hour study rooms in our municipality was approved."
However, he points out, the result is already known by all because nothing has been done to solve this problem, which since the PSOE "we have been insisting since the beginning of the current mandate."
Proof of this are the continuous complaints and denunciations of students and opponents who address the PSOE "with all reason" because "they do not understand that in a city like Lorca there are no dedicated study spaces open 24 hours, as they do exist in other university cities, or even in smaller municipalities, such as Pulpí or Puerto Lumbreras. "
The capital of Murcia, for example, with its network of study rooms that encompass districts, districts and neighborhoods, manages to retain a good part of our students by not being able to dispose of these facilities in their place of family residence.
From the PSOE ensure that the lack of initiatives for young people by this government team "expels the young Lorca of our municipality and encourages them to seek these and other incentives in other municipalities far from the city of Lorca."
