The Socialist councilor Isabel Casalduero has stated that "the unemployment data for the month of August has been a conspicuous rise to join the unemployment rolls 117 people. This shows the incompetence of the councilor in charge of this area and the complete failure disastrous policies of Job's Party ".
Casalduero explained that "something is wrong with the management team when the municipal government sector in which further increases in unemployment is the construction, being a city to rebuild Lorca. A Mrs. Ibarra does not hurt to have invested declare 9 million euros in being unemployed and that, even so, unemployment continues to rise in our town. "
"This shows the incompetence of Mrs. Ibarra in a matter as important as employment policies. Addition, the labor reform that has perpetrated the Popular Party, the only thing that has managed to articulate measures to open the doors to the dismissal indiscriminate, forgetting the implementation of active policies for job creation. If we add the drift in which is immersed the Regional Government Valcárcel, understand that the situation in our town is becoming increasingly critical, "he added.
Social responsibility has stressed that "the percentage increase in unemployment in Lorca in August was 1.55%, almost twice the national average and only surpassed by 2.47% reaching the regional average."
Jódar Casalduero insisted that "Mrs. Ibarra, in a situation of this kind, has announced that it will introduce a plan for job creation in the Plan Lorca. Claims that it is financed by the Central Government, targeting unemployed long life, women, youth, disabled and recipients of grants or benefits. somewhat paradoxical since the same Executive who apply for funding for that plan, is that in a few months has reduced the dismissal, has hampered recruitment, has changed the eligibility requirements for the plan PREPARE for youth being excluded from it, has increased the requirements to collect benefits and virtually has eliminated the Law Unit, the main benefactors are women. "
Lorquina The mayor said that "we feel good that the Government of Spain requires funding to create jobs, but we think we believe that, in turn, and to be consistent, should require the central executive to correct policies that are in good hand, cause an increase in unemployment figures. "
Isabel finished Casalduero noting that "in this situation, we wonder what Mrs. Ibarra hopes to convene the Bureau of Local Employment and protesting to come for months. Mrs. Ibarra If you do not know how to put a stop to this continuing rise in unemployment in Lorca at least, to be left advising ".
