Mateos recalls that "the end of year leave hundreds of children and families in Lorca without guaranteed access to basic and universal right to the daily diet. A situation of extreme gravity should be above electoral negotiations these days and guaranteed by the agreement of all parties responsible "
Diego José Mateos, elected PSOE councilor and candidate for mayor of Lorca, has warned of the serious situation that can live those younger, and therefore those Lorca famlies who are faring worse by the closure of school canteens in time of summer.
Mateos recalled that "tomorrow, Friday, June 19 is the last day to return to school canteens not open until next October 1, so that school meals are also deleted. A situation that affects hundreds of children Lorca which, as we all know happens increasingly in our society, only have one meal a day, so we will demand and get as far as necessary, for both the current government in office, as the Government itself Regional lead the food security for children even in summer. "
In this sense, Mateos calls "the opening of school canteens, which no" soup kitchens ". We want to redistribute existing resources, so that the sustenance is guaranteed during the summer."
Diego José Mateos recalled that "in these days of electoral pacts and negotiations, the public continues to have the same concerns before the election, and we believe that this is a serious situation which must be above electoral negotiations these days and guaranteed by the agreement of all parties responsible. "
Finally, Mateos stressed that "there are many children and families in Lorca and in the region who are experiencing real difficulties, so the responsibility of those who govern must be to meet their demands, among others, guarantee the basic and universal right to food . Otherwise, if no one does anything about it, tomorrow, Friday is the last day until 1 October for school canteens reopen, or what is the same, until hundreds of families Lorca regain access to more than a daily meal for their children.
