Mateos: "It's time for equality, our SOL project includes the recovery of the Equality Plans that the Popular Party buried as soon as it entered to govern in 2007, denying Lorca's society as a necessary tool to combat gender violence, to foster co-responsibility or to implement measures for conciliation "
The candidate for Mayor of Lorca, Diego José Mateos has committed to recover the Equality Plan that the Popular Party "buried" as soon as you enter to govern in 2007 "keeping it in a drawer, never to know more about this tool" fundamental to put equality at the center of municipal policies ".
Mateos has reiterated its commitment to recover, from the government, the Municipal Equality Plan to "recover and give continuity" to the work undertaken by the group of women and men in favor of equality.
"It is time for equality, it is time to value the long journey traveled by so many women and men committed to equality between genders, and of course, not to step back a step in this long struggle," said Mateos.
"We will put at the center of municipal policy, at the heart of the decisions of the municipality, to equality, undertaking measures to promote co-responsibility, conciliation and, of course, to join forces to combat the cursed scourge that entails the gender violence "
"Starting in May, with the majority confidence of Lorca and Lorca, we will be a government that will firmly commit to real equality, to give support to women's entrepreneurship, to make women feel safe, not to be afraid or have to give explanations for being women, "said Mateos, who pledged to launch campaigns against sexual and digital violence, with special emphasis on young people.
"Education, visibility, equality will be fundamental keys in our SOL project".
The socialist spokesman lamented that "the commitment made by the Popular Party has not come forward, not even one year ago, during one of the meetings of the Sectoral Council of Equality, in which they assured that they would start working in the recovery of this Municipal Equality Plan, precisely, at our request ".
"It is not a time of empty promises and commitments, or of taking false steps." When it comes to defending something as necessary as real equality between women and men, we must be together, together, and defend where it is, that the rights of women or the fight against gender violence are unquestionable and can never be currencies of change at all, "notes Mateos.
The Socialist responsible says that "there is much to be done" to return the Department of Equality "to the place it deserves within the municipal management."
Mateos regrets that during the last decade this council has been "relegated" to a "secondary" plane that, he emphasizes, "is undeserved".
Mateos denounced the cuts suffered by the Department of Equality during the years of Popular Party government.
"We have a great team of professionals in the Department of Equality perfectly trained to face the challenges that the current society marks us, and that we must put in value".
