The head of the Women’s Area of the IU Castilla-La Mancha, Isabel Álvarez, has asked the regional government to take the plans for equality seriously and to spend the funds allocated in real projects, urging it not to invest the budgets of the Plan Corresponsibles in “disintegrated entertainment businesses”.
Álvarez, as reported by IU, criticized the fact that the regional government “congratulates” the success of the Corresponsables Plan, and the progress that they will agree with the Provincial Councils to expand and revise the points, “forgetting that it is a proposal by the central government and, in particular, the Ministry of Equality”.
“It is difficult to think that Emiliano García-Page’s government would mention even one executive it systematically opposes from the region because it would mean abandoning the script outlined by the PSOE of Castilla-La Mancha, which masquerades as the right-wing of the opposition and seeks to win over a disoriented electorate with Paco Núñez’s proposals”.
After specifying that the Co-responsibility Plan is worked out and financed outside the region and “not a single euro was added to it once it arrived from Madrid”, the head of the Women’s Area recalls that IU had denounced it in January and warns that “it is hiding the opportunity to design comprehensive care systems from a gender, intersectional and human rights perspective.
“We are concerned that the government of Castilla-La Mancha implements a project limited to entertainment activities disintegrated and absent from a general program, only with the aim of spending the funds allocated through water festivals, car races and paintball, as It is already happened in Daimiel,” he added.
Álvarez insisted that the funds received by the Council and the Municipal Councils of the Co-responsible Plan be used for “the realization of common care spaces that remain” and “the creation of quality jobs in the assistance sector”.
He also calls for greater transparency on the part of the regional executive with “the distribution of financed projects and the amounts allocated”.
