The rejected initiative, in addition to extending the application deadlines for transportation grants, requested that it be given greater publicity in the island's media and that a new item be created, specifically for new applications, according to CC in a press release.
The motion was promoted by the Coalición Canaria group in Arrecife to "act as a spokesperson for dozens and dozens of parents of students who have expressed their concern to us, as a change occurred, without prior notice, in the period for grant applications. This change meant that many parents could not submit the application on time, being left out of the aid", says Morales. Although, "despite the rejection, we will insist that it be carried out", said the nationalist spokesperson.
In the opinion of the CC spokesperson, this attitude of the Governing Group is "difficult to understand", and is far removed, he says, "from its commitment, acquired in the electoral campaign, to listen to and remain close to the people".
This motion was presented by the nationalists, "due to the numerous complaints that had been publicly expressed, and through our municipal group, of not having been able to submit the grant application, because the deadlines were altered", he explains in the statement. And according to the nationalists, they were normally between April and May and this time it was between March and April.
