A PSOE motion prospers so that the Community completes up to 50% of the state subsidy in force until December
The Plenary Session of the Regional Assembly approved yesterday, with the votes in favor of PSOE and Vox, and the abstention of the rest of the parliamentary groups, a motion by the Socialists for the Community to extend state aid to public transport and pay half of the ticket to the most vulnerable people.
The socialist Pedro López defended that if the financing of the central Government is 30%, the Community must contribute 20% to finance the season tickets and wallet cards for young people and vulnerable families. In his opinion, “if there are four of them in a family and they have to take the bus every day to go to school or to go home, they can perfectly save 120 euros a month. In salaries of 1,200 euros, perhaps it helps so that they do not have to give up eating, it is a help ».
The PP had presented an addition amendment requesting to increase state aid for public transport to 50% and for it to continue in 2023. According to deputy Víctor Martínez-Carrasco, public transport users will continue traveling after December, which is when aid ends. “The date of December 2022 is a bit absurd and a mistake. People will not stop using public transport in the month of December and will continue to have the same needs, therefore, we should not make it more difficult for the user », he stated.
Due to its technical errors, the Plenary rejects a bill against the sexist violence of the socialists Strong clash between President Castillo and deputy María Marín, who wanted to intervene without having a turn to speak
In the same session, a PSOE law proposal to combat sexist violence, which only had the support of the Mixed Group, was rejected. According to the socialist Gloria Alarcón, with this decision all the women and groups that made their contributions to that bill were denied. “They are telling them no to their faces,” she said when she saw that her initiative did not go ahead.
Text contrary to law
The reality is that the Legal Services of the Assembly highlighted in the mandatory technical analysis report that a dozen precepts of the text registered by the Socialists were unconstitutional or clashed with other regulations.
Among the criticisms, he highlighted the one made by the spokesman for the Vox Group, Juan José Liarte, who, after rejecting any type of violence, said that it was “badly drafted” and “lacks legal basis.”
Francisco Álvarez, from the Ciudadanos Group, defended the validity of the Pact against Gender Violence against this bill and voted against it together with the PP and Vox. The PP deputy Miriam Guardiola alluded in her speech that “up to seven times the lawyer [de la Asamblea] warns about its unconstitutionality, in addition to presenting numerous deficiencies and inconsistencies.
The popular ones offered the PSOE to withdraw the text to agree on an alternative law, but the PSOE rejected it.
Álvarez, for his part, announced that the Ministry of Equality is working for a prompt renewal and updating of the Regional Pact against Gender Violence.
During the debate on this bill there were moments of tension: the president of the Assembly, Alberto Castillo, raised his tone of voice to warn the deputy of Podemos María Marín that he was going to call her to order for intervening without being in the use of the word. He intended to answer Liarte by allusions to the national deputy of Podemos Javier Sánchez Serna. The Vox spokesman apologized and nipped Marín’s vehemence and Castillo’s inflexibility in the bud.
The Assembly also approved a PP motion to ask the national government to implement a package of measures to help alleviate the shortage of doctors. Voted against PSOE and Podemos.
