The PSOE of Tías has denounced that the government group, composed of PP and San Borondón, has lost a subsidy of more than 100,000 euros to execute a special social employment program for the year 2013, within the framework of the Extraordinary Employment Program. The socialists have recalled that despite the fact that the government group announced that it would allocate "216,000 euros" for the creation of this plan, "the reality is that the municipality could have benefited from the contribution by the Canarian Employment Service by 50 percent."
The socialists of Tías explain that in June of this year, the government group "announced through a press release" the launch of the new Social Employment Plan for the municipality, aimed at long-term unemployed people with family responsibilities. This plan, according to the PSOE, would be financed between the City Council, which would contribute 216,000 euros, and the Government of the Canary Islands, which would allocate 108,000 euros, through its regional employment plan, resulting in a total investment of 324,000 euros.
However, the PSOE has denounced that the decision of the local government to directly execute the Extraordinary Employment Program "has not only limited the number of possible beneficiary families of the plan", but that the investment has been reduced in such a way that "a subsidy of more than 100,000 euros has been lost to execute a special social employment program for the year 2013", within the framework of the Extraordinary Employment Program.
"Incapable of governing responsibly"
"Our municipality has a total of 1,730 unemployed. PP and San Borondón are to blame for the fact that more families in the municipality have not benefited from the Employment Plan. They have once again demonstrated that they are incapable of managing responsibly", lamented the PSOE councilor, Saray Rodríguez Suárez.
From the PSOE they have described the determination taken by the government team as a "profound error" and criticize the "little effort made in terms of employment". "Ignoring formulas such as the one proposed by the Canarian Government, which offered a line of subsidies to employment plans is a huge mistake. This time they will not be able to excuse their inaction by blaming other island or regional institutions that do comply with their obligations", said Rodríguez Suárez.
