"The PP and Cs have prevented our proposal from becoming a reality that sought to defray the cost of textbooks for university students in our town," they have stated from Defendemos Calpe.
According to the independent group from Calp, "there are grants for university education, for enrollment or for the stay, but these are not enough to cover the entire cost of studying at a university. Our proposal was intended to help and compensate for these shortcomings to guarantee the equal opportunities for all through a grant for the purchase of textbooks ".
Defendamos Calpe points out that "we know that the salaries and returns of the vast majority of businesses in our town are not high. At the same time, the scarcity of means to travel to the nearest university centers increases the outlay that parents have. to face so that their sons and daughters can have access to education in minimal conditions. All this increases the difficulties with which they face all university expenses. With this proposal we partially compensate for these deficiencies ".
Without support from the PP
"Education is always and will be the best investment but unfortunately, the PP is in other things," they criticize from Defendamos Calpe, adding that "in the same plenary session, the PP's pulse did not tremble when allocating more than 1.000.000 € .135.000 to the reform of the main square. They authorized it without problem. Now, allocating around € XNUMX of our budget for the textbooks of our university students, this already does not seem correct to the PP ".
The statement from Defendamos Calpe points out that the reason why the popular did not support his proposal was "because it had to be better prepared. But don't be fooled. Political groups can launch proposals with different content, in greater or less detail, and urge to the municipal technical services to prepare and complete the rest of the questions surrounding a proposal, once it is approved. "
We defend Calpe state that the municipal services, "are not personnel at the service of the PP, but of the people. The PP excused itself on something with no real basis. The point could be perfectly approved, and then, the technical services complete the proposal in greater detail. We always try to help and propose things that improve the lives of our neighbors. We do not govern, we do not form a coalition with the PP, we do not have the capacity to act, but despite this, we raise questions that can improve the lives of our neighbors. Unfortunately, after the decision of the PP in plenary session, it is evidenced that any proposal that arises from Defendamos Calpe will be rejected by the PP, no matter what it is. Thus, all they do is harm the interests of the Calpinos and Calpinas to At the cost of maintaining his political ego, which does not benefit anyone. You must go find out. "
