Jesús Giménez claims to the regional government "more rigor and speed to reduce the lists and less haste to answer", formula with which "they would have saved ridicule and banalize a matter of maximum interest".
The deputy spokesman of MC Cartagena, Jesús Giménez, has valued this morning the surprising statements published today by the newspaper La Opinion of the regional vice president, Isabel Franco (Cs), in which he affirms, in relation to the Unit, that "the list Waiting could not be cut because MC said it could not assume the service. "
First, Giménez has called for "more rigor and speed to reduce the lists and less haste to answer," considering that "perhaps the regional government and, in particular, Mrs. Franco, would have saved themselves from making a fool of themselves and banalizing a matter of maximum interest. "
The mayor of Cartagena believes that "his response confirms each and every one of the figures and deficiencies denounced in the Plenary Enrique Pérez Abellán, or what is the same, that they maintain the budgetary infringement to the benefits by Unit and that assume that 1,000 families Cartageneras do not receive it constantly, producing the 'relay' only when a beneficiary dies. "
On the municipal management in Social Services during the Cartagener biennium, the deputy spokesman of MC recalled that "with Mayor José López in charge, the City Council awarded the home assistance service until May 2018, for just under 3 million euros a year; so, if it were true that the City Council no longer lends it, Franco will do well to ask his members Arroyo and Castejón, responsible for that municipal area and that they must have played the trumpet to jump and they have ridiculed in such a sensitive matter. "
Giménez has also taken the opportunity to encourage Franco "to take the Unit seriously and stop punishing Cartagene families" and has detailed that "more than 300 of the beneficiaries of the assistance contracted by MC from the City Council do not recognize the IMAS so that waiting lists are not increased further, so the Autonomous Community would be responsible for paying half of those assistance, around 1.5 million euros per year. "
"Without neglecting that precisely in October 2016, Mayor López sent a letter to the Minister of Finance claiming three and a half million euros that the City Council assumes for autonomic competences in social services, and that amount by adding other matters to 14 million euros that the regional government denies every year for services that it should provide in Cartagena. "
To conclude the deputy spokesman of MC has reported that "Lopez also refused to accept the meager € 200,000 offered by the Community, but it was the director of the Legal Department who warned that there was no guarantee of payment by the regional government , which is why it could not be signed. That is the level of management of the PP and its crutches. "
