The Local Government Committee met today to discuss, among other matters on the agenda, approval of two agreements, one in the area of Infrastructure and Transport Framework Agreement between the INSERSO Universal Accessibility, Fundación ONCE the city of Cartagena which will aid of 10,000 euros to taxi drivers to purchase vehicles adapted for disabled guests.

This type of agreement on subsidies for the project by Carrier Access autotaxis is not the first time you subscribe.

On the other hand, in the area of Social Care, has approved an agreement between the Autonomous Community, through the Ministry of Social Policy and the City, through the Municipal Institute of Social Services Development Program Support for families in special situations, with special attention to families with children at risk, which will go this year about 64,000 euros.

The government team spokesman, Joaquin Mowing, expressed his displeasure at the fact that support for this program, which last year served 175 families in Cartagena, have been declining due to the reduction of the contribution of the State, in 2007 was 51,000 euros in 2008 dropped to 44,000 euros and already in 2009 and 2010 was EUR 0.

This demonstrates the low sensitivity of central government to social issues, said Segado.

However, the autonomous region has doubled its contribution of 28,000 euros in 2009 to 48,000 euros in 2010, as the council has made an effort to maintain the aid.

According Segado, this is just another example of how the state tightens to the municipalities, as with the required payment of VAT, which will mean that the City has to pay one million euros, which is one million euros less for Cartagena.

Under questioning from reporters, the spokesman of the government team has also alluded to other issues apart from the governing board, such as work stoppage in the decision of the Monte Sacroa own construction company or allegations of ANSE before urbanization in Cala Reona possible.
