The spokesperson for the Popular Party in Los Silos, Raquel González, criticizes the lack of management of the Department of Social Welfare because it creates “harm and detriment” in basic services that are provided to less fortunate families. ensures that The Home Help service has only two assistantsfor the first time due to “passivity and misgovernance” of the area.
The consequence is a reduction in the quality of service to dependent people and families, he explains. In addition to “the work overload for these two professionals, who assume the work usually performed by a staff of four assistants.” In his opinion, “all the principles of dignity, equity and labor law that Unidas Sí Podemos defends in theory, but not in practice, are violated.”
It also warns that the municipal government has not announced aid for school supplies, “less than a week before the course begins.” The local PP spokesperson maintains that Social Welfare requires high management capacity and claims that the government group received the City Council “with financing in the municipal coffers and approved many projects and programs”, and expressly cites the Housing Rehabilitation Plan, the Joint Responsibility Plan, Social Tourism, as well as Integra2 II, among others.
Andrés Rodríguez, councilor for Human Resources, Internal Regime and Citizen Participation, points out that the PP “applies the policy “to create alarm and create a parallel and fictitious reality” and it is a legacy situation. He admits that there are two workers in Home Care, “because the PP management abusively chained temporary contracts, ignoring the current regulations.” The solution is to call for a vacant position, fill it temporarily, starting September 20, until the process is completed and incorporate the PFAE Dependency Care staff.
Regarding school aid, he explains that the item of 8,000 euros, the PP spent 6,000 in the last year of the mandate in the municipal contribution to Social Tourism, increasing the requested places from 12 to 18. “We work to obtain credit from other items to make the call” and he remembers that last year these school aid were resolved at the end of September.
Of the projects cited by the PP, Andrés Rodríguez points out that Integra2 II has a resolution, Respiro y Voluntariado was rejected due to a low score, Activa Los Silos is being applied, Corresponsables has a longer duration and users, “although the PP did not manage it well”; of Social Inclusion returned 20,000 euros “because it was not submitted for plenary approval”; Equality, “which is mandatory, has not been implemented” for not providing prior information, and in Rehabilitation of Social Housing “they did nothing, with a subsidy granted since the first of the year.”
