| Pilar Marcos excitedly says goodbye to her colleagues at the Corporation, after giving up her act as councilor to return to her position as municipal official | The plenary session of the Cartagena City Council has agreed in its ordinary session on Thursday to urge the Government of the Nation and the spokespersons and political parties of the Congress of Deputies and the Regional Assembly to create a new fund that allows those local entities to assume the management of the minimum vital income through agreements with the National Institute of Social Security.The measure seeks to ensure that this management can be adequately addressed and without jeopardizing the processing of existing social aid in municipal social services, since without these additional funds, it will be unfeasible to manage this new state benefit.Likewise, the urgent dispatch to the local entities of the agreement to be signed is proposed so that they can analyze their implications with their technical services and adequately assess whether they can assume it or should it remain in the National Institute of Social Security; as well as guaranteeing that all Autonomous Communities can participate in the same way in the processing and / or management of this aid if they consider that it is the most appropriate for their citizens.The motion made by the deputy mayor, Noelia Arroyo, as spokesperson for the popular group, has been approved by the councilors of the Government and those of Mc Cartagena; while United We Can Left United has voted against and Vox has abstained.PILAR MARCOS GOES BYThe session that took place on a double day morning and afternoon, was also that of the farewell to the so far councilor and spokesperson for Unidas Podemos Izquierda Unida Equo, Pilar Marcos, who has presented her resignation from the act to abandon political activity and return to her post as municipal official.Marcos, who could barely speak, has highlighted the intensity of these five years that he has exercised as a representative of the neighbors, taking, according to her, his voice to the municipal plenary sessions and making a better Cartagena.
