The Socialists regret that Lorca, despite having university facilities, has not been able to bid and ask the University of Murcia this form of collaboration to get students on campus Lorca stay in our city and live with us, at the same time that they are benefited in their files.
The councilor of the PSOE in the City of Lorca, María Ángeles Mazuecos has requested that the municipality of Lorca sign a collaboration agreement with the University Campus of Lorca, dependent on the University of Murcia, so that university students can carry out university activities in the city to Obtaining CRAU credits.
Mazuecos has demanded that the municipality of Lorca, as in many other municipalities in the region, agreements are made with the University of Murcia for students from the campus Lorca mainly, and students of the University of Murcia in general, get credit university activities, known as CRAU credits, only with the participation of these in activities in the daily life of our municipality, related to cultural work, solidarity, employability or student representation, among others.
The socialist mayor says it is "incredible" that municipalities that do not have Campus have these agreements for years while Lorca, with its own campus, has not been able to offer and apply to the University of Murcia these credits in the form of collaboration with different councils and associations of all kinds, "to get these students to stay in our city and live with us, while they are benefited in their files."
Cehegín, Totana, the Union, Campos del Río, Bullas, Jumilla, Mazarrón, and closer as Puerto Lumbreras, are municipalities that have these CRAU credits in the form of an agreement while our municipality "has been unable to promote them and so not even request them "
Mazuecos ensures that everything possible must be done to make Lorca take advantage of the potential of having a university campus and ensure that the city has a "fully university" life.
The mayor says there is a "serious problem", and that students on campus "do not know our city, most do not reside here and only come during the hours of classes and seminars."
From the PSOE they assure that this problem is the result of the stagnation to which the Popular Party has taken to the Lorca campus.
They assure that Lorca, because of the "suffocation" that the PP has submitted to the Campus, "remains with its back to the fact that we are a university city", since the "great work of the magnificent decanal team" is not promoted enough.
Mazuecos assures that the creation of this agreement would serve to further promote tourism and publicize the cultural, sports, educational offer of our city to these students.
A "source of wealth not only educational but commercial", because we would get these students consume more in the municipality and serve as a so-called effect for tourism in Lorca.
The PSOE reaffirms its commitment to the university campus of Lorca.
For the PSOE, the Campus of Sociosanitarias Sciences of Lorca "is and will be" one of the "referents for the creation of employment and wealth in the present and future of our municipality."
The Socialists say that the city lives behind Lorca is a university city, as most Lorca are unaware of the work being done in it, with a decanal team that would be the "envy" of any city that had studies university students, for their constant work for and for the Campus.
During the last seven years, the PSOE has championed the initiatives to vindicate the important role of the university campus, among others, calling for the implementation of more degrees, as was unanimously approved in the plenary session on a socialist proposal.
The Socialists insist that it is a source of untapped wealth, so they will not allow the Campus to remain stagnant as the last ones.
They assure that it was a socialist mayor who promoted the Lorca campus and that another will be the one who retakes it, because it is clear that this popular party in Lorca does not believe or has ever believed in this project.
