The Alicante Care Bank demands that the bipartisan assume their responsibility in the fight against poverty | Radio Alicante | Present

The social emergency in the city of Alicante has once again brought its associative fabric to the streets.

Around a hundred people from different social groups have gathered this morning at the gates of the Alicante Town Hall to demand the municipal government team involvement, responsibility and commitment in the fight against poverty and lend a hand to the entities that have helped feed the most vulnerable. Among the most repeated songs this morning “Alicante is hungry” The “Julia Llopis resignation“.

The main problem is that Alicante Gastronomic Solidarity, an initiative that has distributed more than 200,000 menus throughout the province, leaves the facilities of the CDT of Monte Tosssal to move to the City of Light.

From the Alicante Care Bank criticize that the government team has not yet paid the contribution of 30.000 euros which he committed to two months ago with Alicante Gastronómica Solidaria and is asked to enable greater financial contributions to sustain the project.

Antonio Colomina, spokesman for the Care Bank, assures that they also need spaces to store all the food that they distribute to vulnerable families as well as vehicles and more personnel to collect the food in the new headquarters and to collect the witness of the work that residents of the city have been doing altruistically. If the City Council does not collaborate, more than 400 families, he says, they can go without food.
