- "Neither the struggle for equality nor feminism is the heritage of the PSOE or Podemos, but of all civil society;
describe the implementation of measures to promote the elimination of the wage gap in companies that operate with the City as "political marketing" is a moral unpresentable, "said spokesman Cartagena Cs Manuel Padin Cartagena, Friday February 1 - .
Citizens yesterday achieved that the government team now include as criterion to assess in the award and execution of municipal contracts the absence of a salary gap according to the formula set by Eurostat.
The proposal must count before its application with the approval of municipal technical reports to evaluate its compatibility with the new Contracts Law, in force since March 2018.
The motion was approved with the vote of Citizens, PSOE and CTSSP-Podemos, and counted on the abstention of PP and MC.
"With this measure we want all those companies that aspire to get a municipal contract to certify beforehand that there is no wage gap between their workers, as simple as that," said the orange spokesman, adding that "the municipalities have many tools to promote labor equality and promote justice and one of them is to force companies that are related to the public sector to lead by example ".
"I wish it were not necessary to establish these measures," said Padín, "but we still do not live in a world where we all respect article 14 of the Spanish Constitution."
"The political reaction of Podemos today to our proposal is repulsive and mean;
neither the struggle for equality nor feminism is the patrimony of the PSOE or Podemos, but of all civil society;
to say that implementing measures to promote the elimination of the wage gap in the companies that operate with the City Council is "political marketing" (after supporting it) is of an unpresentable moral turpitude, "said Cs Cartagena spokesman Manuel Padín.
For Manuel Padín, "what has to explain both the PSOE as we can and satellites is the network chiringuitos and the marketing of subsidies to entities and associations integrated and led by socialist politicians who are engaged in political campaigns, for example, against pregnancy subrogated and that publicly request that Citizens not be voted;
some of them would have to face their shame when they issue statements like the one they have launched today in the media. "
"The money to fight against this social scourge does not have to go to this type of campaign and to the podemita propaganda but to the bracelets that control the orders of withdrawal, to the shelters, to the professional psychological, legal, and social assistance, to orphaned children, but not to pay political campaigns of PSOE and Podemos, "says Padín.
"We can also explain, as well said our parliamentarian in Madrid, Esther Ruiz, the accusations of the exporter of Podemos in the Assembly of Madrid, which said that the direction of the training was sexist, or the statements of Rita Maestre that ensures that Podemos is a macho party, or why the Podemos works council has denounced the wage discrimination of women since they charge less than men, "recalls the orange spokesman who affirms that" these hypocritical parties that practice the same heteropatriarchy that they also allow us the luxury of criticizing the work for equality that other parties do. "
The spokesman of Cs ensures that his party will always be against those who deny male violence "will have us in front, but we will also be before those who use something so serious and sensitive for their political purposes."
Citizens recalled that according to the latest data from FEDEA, women earn 12.7% less per hour than men doing the same job as them.
According to representatives of the equality secretariats, the unions UGT and CC OO reported that the gender wage gap in the region is 26 percent, exceeding 23 percent of the national average and highlighting, above all, in sectors such as trade. , the hospitality industry and the agricultural sector.
