Dori Peñas, Councilman IU-Green has complained that the five summer schools that the council has launched this summer to exclude the poorest population segment.
The mayor has referred to the initiative that began Monday to work taking a hundred minors from the village, Zarcilla, almond and La Paca, since it is only aimed at children whose both parents are active at work or doing some course Training for job search.
Peñas has stressed that while the main objective of these summer schools is to facilitate the reconciliation of work and family life, having obtained funding from the city council EU funds for that purpose, families in which both parents are unemployed have a number of shortcomings with regard to the most basic needs that makes it impossible to afford a leisure service for younger children.
From IU-Greens recall that in the city there are other free summer schools promoted by NGOs, S, but also warned that the high rates of child poverty detected in the whole state, which is no stranger Lorca, require the expansion of resources for the most disadvantaged people, so do not understand how the City Council launches an appeal of this nature excluding families who are unemployed, the most vulnerable and those who can not afford access this resort entertainment if not offered for free.
Therefore, since the formation of the left apply to the council for culture and festivities and woman requirements expand, providing municipal resources that are necessary, so that children from families where both parents are unemployed can access summer schools that will cover children aged 4-12 years.
