Socialist Youth of Lorca (JSL), in collaboration with the PSOE of Lorca, will carry out these weeks a campaign of collection of school material for the benefit of Red Cross Lorca.

The campaign seeks to help Lorca families with fewer resources at the beginning of the course and who find it difficult to cope.

The campaign will start with a fixed collection point enabled in the headquarters of the Socialist Association of Lorca, in Plaza Real, where anyone who wants can come to depositing their collaboration.

In addition, soon they will announce several points of collection throughout the city and also in several districts, to facilitate the solidarity work to the lorquinos.

According to José Ángel Ponce, JSL's Secretary General, "the beginning of a school year should be a good time to make a public effort in favor of education."

However, it regrets that during the last four years, in the autonomous communities and municipalities where the PP governs, the programs aimed at free textbooks and support for the acquisition of school material were dismantled.

In this sense, Ponce has put as an example the City of Lorca, denouncing that the Popular Party not only has not been able to undertake any program of free textbooks in the municipality, but every time it has been proposed by the PSOE In Lorca "the Popular Party has used its absolute majority to leave the Lorca without the possibility of free access to textbooks.

From Juventudes Socialistas also bet on re-applying the super reduced VAT rate of 4% on all school material, which the PP raised to 21% in 2012, and to develop better systems of free textbooks, because it warns that "We can not stand aside seeing that there are still families who can not cope with the expense of these fundamental goods of education."

The Secretary General of JSL has concluded that "in the communities and municipalities governed by the PSOE, there are the best systems of free books, since we socialists have always opted for equal opportunities."

Ponce insists on the need to implement programs like these to remove a large economic burden from the backpacks of families at the beginning of the course. "

In addition, he has been convinced that only two years to Lorca, with a socialist government, led by Diego José Mateos, Lorca families can benefit from a program of free textbooks, as they already benefit in others Municipalities governed by the PSOE.
