The proposal submitted by the requesting UPyD prize of 20,000 Euros, but the PP has lowered to 5,000 euros, "showing his complete ignorance about the needs of families pinatarenses to provide their children with something as basic as education"
San Pedro del Pinatar.
July 4 -. During the last regular full San Pedro del Pinatar, the UPyD Group filed a motion, which among other measures to support the Book Bank of the Federation of Associations of Parents, involved a provision of the initiative that begins this year € 20,000.
However, the People's Party introduced an amendment to the entire proposal that lowered the envelope leaving 15,000 € 5,000 €.
For José Luis Ros Spokesperson training: "the PP of San Pedro demonstrates his complete ignorance of the situation of families pinatarenses have to spend exorbitant amounts of up to € 500 for books and school supplies for each child , which makes it is saving all summer to give their children something as basic as an education. "
As Ros explains, the PP subsidizes only 5,000 € bank books because they do not believe enough in the initiative, and to approve four times more subsidy as UPyD defended, it was perfectly possible, given budget item fellowship 35,000 € in total.
Councilman magenta training explains the strategy of the PP stating that "the Government disguises numbers since last year also set € 35,000 in the budget, but only spent just over € 15,000 in scholarships, therefore, know that it is perfectly feasible to allocate € 20,000 Bank Books and return to be € 15,000 for other scholarships. "
In this sense, for Ros "the PP is a strategy to look good in the press announcing it will spend € 35,000 in scholarships, but then not actually spend even half and that's trying to confuse the public and skipping his word" .
The cases of other municipalities as Torre Pacheco € 20,000 grant to his bank books or Jumilla € 15,000 being the first year of the initiative in this county, show that in San Pedro "the PP not firmly committed to supporting families on this issue. "
The situation of families, recalled UPyD, was worsened by cuts in aid of the Autonomous Community has reduced the game to aid the acquisition of textbooks over EUR 18 million for the 2010 - 2011-3350000 € for this next year.
This situation makes it imperative implementation of "mechanisms for reuse as banks UPyD books and has been the pioneer in Spain political party to defend its creation" with an amendment to the Education Act last accepted by the People's Party in Congress of Deputies, which includes the obligation of the State to promote the establishment of book banks in public and private schools.
Finally, UPyD has asked the Government that does not adequately provide the Bank with sufficient books starting at least give assistance approved € 5,000 as fast as possible, as being into the month of July, if not such delivery occurs in the coming days, "did not do much", as many parents have already booked or even books have acquired.
However, UPyD rejoices and welcomes the fact that the proposal "has served for at least has been endowed with a fund of € 5,000 to the Bank of Books" and believes that though insufficient, "is a step in the positive line."
