Mart n recalled that his political formation already warned in the debate of the motion that Izquierda Unida raised to the maximum body of citizen representation of the City Council, that "within three months that we gave to the PSOE and C's municipal government team was not for them to sit idly by until the last moment and then come with runoffs.

" Izquierda Unida demanded in November that, before the end of 2020, the Councilor for Finance present a draft of the bases of the call to municipal groups and representative associations of the sector.

"We want the aid to have the participation of those affected and to correct the errors of the one that was granted to freelancers and micro-enterprises in May, also an initiative of IU," said Mart n.

For this reason, Mart n reiterated the obligation of the local government to "prioritize" in policies that help the hostelry to "resist" and recalled the requirement that municipal aid be granted taking into account the address commercial and not the business name of the company, so that they benefit those who carry out their activity in the municipality.

To speed up the payment of the aid, Mart n also asked that the documentary justification of the grant be made "a posteriori", and that the purpose of the grants is not only to contribute to the financing.

An investment that is carried out to face the pandemic, but also ordinary expenses such as the cost of renting the premises, the installments of bank loans or the supplies of electricity, water and gas.
