Podemos San Fernando has rejected the 2022 Municipal Budgets initially presented by the PSOE in the ordinary plenary session in January because they are “far removed” from the problems of San Fernando and “zero participatory”. Ana Rojas, spokesperson for the formation, criticized the PSOE for the 73% cut in housing compared to 2021, almost 600,000 euros less "for a city that has serious public housing problems."
Rojas made it ugly that the PSOE and Ciudadanos accounts "do not shield" the items for public housing while the list of housing applicants "numbers in the thousands" and that they are "incapable" of negotiating with the banks the transfer of empty homes in a social rental regime "which is so necessary" even if they get into debt with them to get the almost 7 million euros in loans for investments.
The “ridiculous” employment items were also pointed out, which continue without increasing despite the 11,008 people seeking employment in San Fernando and the “scarce” 30,000 euros for training or the unknown amount of 650,000 euros for entrepreneurship in the Telefónica building “of which nothing is known”.
In addition to the budget for housing and employment, the spokesperson criticized the increase "up to 877 euros a day" for "propaganda from the government and the mayoress" or the increase in the cost of extraordinary lights from 500,000 to 700,000 euros ” while continuing to zero out the items for the constitution of the Low Demand Center for the homeless. Rojas reminded the government that it is a commitment "to the associations and groups" that care for these people that "would ensure" their comprehensive care. Another of the social games that the municipal group of Podemos criticized was the rise of 8 euros a day for the El Pan Nuestro dining room for an entity "that serves 140 people a day."
Lastly, the spokeswoman criticized the government in her speech for once again “bragging” about the remnants in the memory of the budget document, when, she qualified, “remnants are failures in efforts, especially in a city with almost 30% unemployment", since "if the budget is not spent, it is because they have stopped making investments to improve the city, they have stopped paying for municipal services, no resources have been allocated to job creation, They have stopped executing aid and subsidies expected and needed among citizens and associations and entities. In short, the public has not been given services or compromised benefits”.
