Thus, this visit to the neighborhood of girl island It has served to explain the main proposals in these areas. Regarding employment, Mónica Rossi recalled that “more than 12,000 people from Huelva demand work, and more than 8,000 are women.” Thus, she has indicated that she wants to become mayor to develop a Municipal Employment Plan that focuses on youth, women and people over 45 years of age and has promised to promote public employment after her arrival in the town hall.
As well as the stimulation for the creation of companies “linked to local development and the exercise of leadership as the capital of the province, modifying the productive model of the city”.
Regarding housing, Rossi indicated that “the people of Huelva have the right to choose where they want to live, since young people allocate more than 50% of their salary to rent” so buying a home seems “impossible for most” in a city with the second lowest salary in the entire country. For this reason, the candidate of La Izquierda de Huelva believes that she “urges a Municipal Housing Plan.” Thus, she will try to recover the houses that are empty, with specific programs for vulnerable people and the continuity in the rehabilitation of municipal houses.
Rossi and Social Services
Regarding Social Services, he has indicated that these are “the first door that people call in a Town Hall. During these 8 years of government of the PSOE and the 20 of the PP, no social advances have been made in Huelva”, so “it is urgent to reverse this situation in order to have social services for the 21st century, completing the teams and creating new social work areas among other measures.
In addition, it stressed the need to be a city “friendly to the elderly to meet their needs, with an accessibility plan that is extremely urgent.”
He also indicated that “we are especially concerned about youth, and we have to work with them in terms of employment, access to housing and leisure and culture”, the candidate for mayor from the Left of Huelva, thus promised to implement specific measures for this group.
Lastly, and transversally, Mónica Rossi explained that her program is also concerned with neighborhoods “because neighborhoods are life and people’s lives are in their neighborhoods” for this “we have to take the City Council to the neighborhoods by the municipal district boards and their offices are in motion so that all the needs of the citizenry have closer access to their town hall to resolve any issue at the municipal level”.
Jose Antonio Gonzalez Soriano
For his part, the number 2 of the candidacy and secretary of the local circle of Podemos in Huelva capital, José Antonio González, has indicated that “all the social advances that have been generated in the coalition government, from the minimum vital income to the housing law, going through the social shield and feminist laws, such as the law for the comprehensive protection of sexual freedom, have been the result of the drive and commitment of Unidas Podemos”.
Thus, González Soriano stressed that “we have shown that we know how to fight tenaciously and consistently for what we believe in and think about. It is this same spirit that we want to bring to the Huelva City Council, because we are sure that the city council must be the first active force to transform our society and turn it into a democratic community of rights, based on social justice”.
Thus, it is about “a community with the right to participate, with its municipal district boards; a community with guaranteed social rights (with the municipal basic income); a community with the right to enjoy its full natural heritage and archaeological heritage; a community with the right to culture and the formation of its youth; a community with the right to democratic memory, without fascist symbols on its streets; a community with feminist rights, free of violence against women and free of hateful or exclusionary speech. And on the basis of social justice that involves perfectly clean and equipped neighborhoods to promote decent living conditions equally for all the neighbors”.
