Look away and discuss the rigor and reliability of AIS Group report condemns Lorca to remain a city of poverty and social inequality.
Councillor for IU-Greens in the city of Lorca, Worship Peñas, appeared this morning at a press conference on the occasion of AIS Group study published last week on poverty in Spain, bad data on the study cast Lorca poverty and the different readings that different social and political actors have done the same.
Worship Peñas has criticized the local PP has chosen to try to discredit the negative conclusions that study done on Lorca, rather than boldly and decisively address the stark reality that points in the same, and we are the third Spanish population poorest in the country more than 50,000 inhabitants.
When the finger points to the moon, only fools look at the finger, he said the mayor of IU-V, given the data, we can not allow a government team at City Hall to "look at the finger" or " criticize the messenger ", doing nothing to alleviate the dramatic situations brought in the studio with all its rawness.
Councilwoman IU, who is also a sociologist, said that the study uses very reliable statistics, provided by the INE, and the results are undeniable sources.
In addition, he says, that study is to ratify the results of other similar studies, produced by companies and foundations of various kinds, which have been made public in recent years and that abound in the town of Lorca is a town where gap inequality has grown exponentially in recent years, where the rich are getting richer and the poor also, and where the informal economy is widespread.
To Worship Peñas what the study has highlighted not only the consequence of the choice of Lorca-and politicians who have governors for social and economic model absolutely wrong, where he encouraged the closure of industry and investment in real estate speculation, also based on major field crops and the precariousness of its workforce, and has neglected enormous potential in renewable energies and economy linked to culture and the restoration of our heritage.
Elaborating on this, he pointed Worship Peñas has also contributed to the growth of poverty management of large public works made after the earthquake, where large companies outside Lorca have stayed with the best projects as the company Lorca had to take the blind.
In order to successfully tackle the fight against poverty in Lorca, the Councillor for IU-V has traced two horizons;
an immediate one in which imminent launch social measures including a point stressed they will look at the next plenary session of the City and that is the opening of school canteens during the holidays, and other more medium and long term They would undergo radical and comprehensive rethinking of the development model of Lorca, which would also include the need for more budgetary commitments by the administrations of the state and the region.
