In Employment and Labor Policy, the organization requests a fair to promote the social and solidarity economy in La Rioja and provides the Alternative and Solidarity Economy Network with funds to promote the social and solidarity economy in La Rioja.

In addition, Moreno is involved in a plan for the management of the Alto Najerilla Natural Park or cooperative social housing in assignment of use.

In the Fiscal and Administrative Provisions, he calls for the reform of the Law on cooperatives for the inclusion of two new figures: housing cooperatives in assignment of use and energy cooperatives; and establish a 5-year moratorium on permitting new large-scale intensive livestock ranches (macrofarms) in our community.

HEALTH AND APPLES

Finally, when asked by journalists about the statements by the Minister of Health, María Somalo, that one of the “last” options to reduce surgical waiting lists could be to make an agreement with Los Manzanos, Moreno said he claimed to have a telephone conversation with her and indicated that it was not in the Government’s plans to recover this collaboration.
