 Astrid Pérez, emphasizes that if she is once again at the head of the City Council, she will launch a "Municipal Imserso", a "specific program" aimed at the elderly in the municipality that will include "the organization and subsidy of cultural trips through the islands and the peninsula, excursions and many other activities related to active aging", the party advances.

"Our goal is to continue working for the elderly, adapting our social policies to what they really like and makes them happy", says the mayoress. "Today, the elderly are more active and travel is a form of entertainment and a way to continue exploring and living new experiences that take them out of their daily routine," she adds.

"And even more so after a pandemic that was especially hard for them also from a mental and emotional point of view," she includes.

Astrid Pérez highlights that "it has been the elderly themselves who have demanded this type of trip from us, which, although obviously will have a cost, we will try to make them as affordable as possible." In parallel, "the activities to boost the elderly, currently in the bidding process by the City Council, and which on this occasion are much closer to the users through the associations of the elderly and the socio-cultural centers" will continue to be developed, she says.

They will consist of "physical activities, cultural visits, painting workshop, crafts workshop, healthy walks, typical and ballroom dancing workshop, emotional well-being or mental activity and memory stimulation workshops," she makes clear. "The experience of these four years reaffirms the care we must offer to our elders in order to prevent their isolation and unwanted loneliness," emphasizes Astrid Pérez.
