In addition, Mr. Martínez Carrasco is being asked to create the Women's Sectorial Council now that Mrs. Ibarra is no longer in a position to block the start-up of this participation body, demanded by the opposition and women's groups, especially since The Popular Party will eliminate the Municipal Council of Women

The councilor of the PSOE in the City of Lorca, Andrea Periago has asked the new Councilor for Equality, Mr. Juan Francisco Martinez, who opens by demonstrating if it is for the work of promoting this council "abandoned for years by Mrs. Ibarra," or if On the contrary, prefers to keep this area "forgotten and relegated to an undeserved background."

For now, says Andrea Periago, "bad starts" the new Mayor, granting Equality to a councilman who, like his predecessor "accumulates very important positions and responsibilities, as is the case of the areas of Finance, Economics and public enterprises, "so he is suspicious that he will have enough" capacity and time "to devote to a council, Equality that for the PSOE" is fundamental and priority. "

Periago says that the first challenge that the new Edil has at the head of the Department of Equality should be to claim more funding for the fight against gender violence.

The Socialist mayor denounces the "null commitment" of the Government of Rajoy, who in the General Budget of the State only devotes a little over 47 million to the fight for equal opportunities and to combat gender violence.

A "shameful 0.01% of total budgets", or what is the same, he adds, "half of the budget that was allocated in 2008 under socialist government."

Andrea Periago has ensured that the will of a government materializes in the funds it allocates to support a state policy, such as the fight against gender violence, and what this government is doing, he adds, "is to take the hair To women's organizations and especially to the victims and their children. "

The mayor has taken advantage to condemn the three murders by gender violence occurred this past Sunday, one of them in the Region of Murcia.

As a second challenge, from the Socialist Group demand that the new mayor of Equality be "courageous" and bet for the creation of the Women's Sectorial Council, now that Mrs. Ibarra "is no longer to block this forum, demanded in numerous Occasions both by the opposition and by women's groups, especially since the PP eliminated the Municipal Council of Women with its entry into the government.

Andrea Periago says that "it would not be understood that the same councilor who ignored the proposal of the PSOE to create the Sports Sector Council, now refuse to do the same for the associative fabric of women."
