The spokesman of the youth association of the left, Pablo Lopez, asks the Council to regain its sense and act as an advocacy body "that serves to empower youth and claim their rights" instead of acting "like a lapdog of rulers local "
Young Left spokesman, Pablo Lopez, today denounced the "death by inaction" of the Youth Council of Lorca, an organ which he said has been completely emptied of content to make "a simple tool in government service municipal".
Therefore, from Young Left demanded the renewal of the board of the Youth Council, through democratic elections, so that it recovers its sense and act as an advocacy body "that serves to empower youth and claim their rights" Instead of acting "like a lapdog of local governments".
Pablo Lopez recalled that the Youth Council is the highest representative body of associations and youth organizations of the town and the same partner with the City.
In this regard, he explained that should function as "open space" that had as a priority "promoting the participation of young people in the political, social, cultural and economic development of Lorca."
Instead, "has become a partisan tool of the PP" he says.
Testing the politicization of the Youth Council of Lorca is that its president is the son of First Deputy Mayor of the City, the popular Francisco Felix Montiel.
This explains, according to Lopez, the lack of criticism of the Council to youth policies developed by the PP in Lorca.
"They should be the first to denounce the multiple deficiencies that affect young people in our town," said the spokesman for Young Left for whom the attitude "silent and submissive" by the current president of the Youth Council shows that "is set palmero there to act "and" carve out a political career "as happened with his predecessors Joaquin Ruiz Montalvan and Agustin Llamas, who finished as PP councilors.
Since Young Left also ensure that the Council only convenes meetings to inform the associations it takes months without updating their social networks and even has a website to report on its activities.
Lopez also criticizes the lack of transparency with regard to subsidies received by this agency and demands that the amounts received from the Administration and what were intended to be made public.
Pablo Lopez also alluded to "sectarianism" the president of Youth Council spokesman who has blocked Young Left in their social networks "with a simple message requesting a meeting with him."
At a press conference, he showed the content of the conversation: "Hello, good evening.
Are you the president of the Youth Council?
I wish I had a conversation with you.
I am Izquierda Unida Youth ".
Fifteen days later, Luis Montiel not only has not deigned to respond to the letter, but it also has blocked it in the social network Facebook.
In response, Lopez wondered if this attitude has to do with the fact that the organization he represents is linked with United Left-Greens Lorca, which would demonstrate, once again, the fanaticism of President of the Council of Youth, deserves a more pluralistic, democratic and efficient in the interests of all the youth of the town direction.
