Almost a thousand residents of Cartagena await resolution to their request to receive benefits in the Unit, which add up to the thousand who, despite being recognized beneficiaries, are still on the waiting list
Official statistics make it clear again that the situation regarding the Unit in Cartagena has reached dramatic levels.
The data that have been revealed, hidden during the PP's solo government, have revealed that up to 7,289 residents of the Autonomous Community await resolution regarding their request to receive a dependency benefit.
From that number, as of November 30, 2019, a total of 712 applicants from our municipality await resolution at your request.
Following this average, in mid-January of this year, that figure could already be close to a thousand people.
Faced with this situation, the Councilor of MC Cartagena, Enrique Pérez, "the situation regarding the Unit in Cartagena can only be described as chaotic. The opening of drawers in the regional government reveals a bleak picture: almost a thousand residents of Cartagena expect resolution to your request to receive benefits in the Unit, which add up to the thousand who, despite being recognized beneficiaries, are still on the waiting list. "
"Faced with this social problem of the first order, we will take an initiative to the municipal Plenary session on the 28th to know if the municipal government has made any management with the regional Executive to improve the treatment that the citizens of Cartagena receive in the matter of Dependency, in agreement with the motion of MC that was approved on September 5 of last year and for which we urged the CARM Governing Council to increase by 12% the current budget allocation that Cartagena receives to reduce by 70% the current list of expect us to suffer. "
The mayor added that "this week we transmitted to the Yayoflautas collective our concern about the suspicion that the local government has limited itself to approve our motion without any further management, so, by the hand of entities and associations of people elders of our municipality, we will continue to claim that the discrimination that we suffer also depends on the Unit ".
Enrique Pérez has finished denouncing that "the closest horizon for the dependents of Cartagena cannot be more negative due to the inaction of the local government and the mistreatment of the regional; if they do not remedy we will end the year with more than 1,500 people waiting for their resolution, more the recognized beneficiaries who are still on the waiting list. A situation that requires urgent solutions through a political and budgetary commitment that we will continue to demand. "
