These facts show again that, unlike the full municipal asserted by the Councilor for Social Services, Fátima Mínguez, in Lorca there are situations of extreme unresolved marginality for which IU-V demands "immediate intervention"

Izquierda Unida-Verdes today demanded the "immediate" intervention of the Social Services area of ​​the City of Lorca to end the painful situation of a group of seven people who have spent months living in the open in the area of ​​the Virgin of the Huertas.

The councilors of this formation, Pedro Sosa and Gloria Martín, have moved to the place to be interested in the living conditions of these workers of the field whose lack of economic means to pay a rent compels them to sleep, literally, in the street, supporting Cold, rain, hunger and hardship.

The IU councilors denounce this "terrible reality" and have urgently directed the municipal government team to take action on the issue and provide these workers with "roof, clothes, food and means for their personal hygiene", while Studies a definitive solution to its problem.

In that sense, Pedro Sosa said that we are facing a problem "humanitarian" where the health and dignity of these people are at stake "who come to Lorca to earn a living working in the fields and contribute to this The economic prosperity of the municipality. "

For her part, Gloria Martín recalled that all public authorities have, as a first obligation, defend basic human rights and demanded a municipal response "today" to end this situation.

Martín alluded to the right to housing set out in the Spanish Constitution and lamented his "flagrant default" because "the logic of the market, not the logic of human rights, imposes its laws importing very little that leaves in its path."

"Administrations have left banks, developers and real estate companies in the forefront of housing issues and, to make matters worse, have created laws and policies to favor them," Martín said.

Census of empty housing
