The People’s Party puts forward its conciliation proposals to improve the competitiveness of businesses, promote equality between men and women and improve the lives of families. After presenting on October 1st a bill on family conciliation and joint responsibility, the party of Alberto Nuñez Feijóo wants to go further and proposes the opening of municipal educational and sports facilities on non-school days.
This is one of the ideas that will emerge from the XXVII Intercommunal of the PPwhich takes place this weekend in Valladolid, as EL ESPAÑOL has learned. It is about that municipalities make their public facilities available so that, in them, complementary sports, extracurricular activities, on vacation.
But not only during the school year, but especially during vacation periods for boys and girls like Christmas, Easter or summer. “The right to reconciliation cannot be an option but rather a reality which must be addressed with a guarantee of success,” underline the sources consulted within the conservative party.
In the first Additional Provision of this Proposed Law, the development – within the framework of the Territorial Council of Social Services and the System of personal autonomy and care for Dependency – of a National conciliation and co-responsibility plan“within six months, with sufficient funding to make it happen.”
This is one of the measures planned and complementary to this legal text.
Political initiative
The PP began its political journey by changing strategy, moving from a simple political confrontation with the government of Pedro Sanchez to a more determined attitude. By combining the communication techniques of the electoral campaign with the drafting, proposal and registration of laws in the Cortes Generales, the popular took the initiative, They took the PSOE on the wrong foot and they presented themselves as a state party, far from the mere noise of a convulsive legislature.
The outbreak of numerous cases of corruption within the Executive and in the president’s family entourage They stopped a chain of initiatives. Subsequently, the tragedy of the floods caused by DANA on October 29 focused all the energies of popular education on assistance to the victims and the beginning of reconstruction.
In fact, the Comprehensive Housing Plan, planned more than a month ago, is still waiting for a better opportunity.
But now, a month after DANA – and even if it was “another dark week for the government, with accusations, resignations and new people called to testify in court”, recalls a party source -, the PP wants take back the reins of Parliament.
“There is a Council of Ministers which He does not govern and only focuses on his survival.“, declared the Deputy Secretary for Equality, Ana Alosin an interview given to this newspaper. And for this reason, the PP wants to “present a real alternative to citizenship”.
At the same time, those of Feijóo challenge the Sánchez’s partners demonstrate whether their priority is to improve the lives of citizens, with measures according to the ideology of their votersor support Sánchez in Moncloa for greater convenience. And if they manage to “legislate above the Government”, it would be proven that, even without elections, it is possible to constitute an alternative majority.
It is for this reason that the PP has led the battle for conciliation in recent months “in the face of a current reality in which There are different types of families and different needs to be monitored”, affirm the sources consulted.
The objective of this political-economic strategy, designed transversally in Genoa between Alós and Juan BravoDeputy Secretary for the Economy, must “guarantee equal opportunities between men and women” in the labor market and in their employment relationships, “recognize your right to conciliation of professional and family life.
According to the PP, society demands policies from the State that reverse the current situation and allow families, in a stable and free environment, to have the children they want, allowing them to reconcile personal, family and professional.
The registration of the bill at the beginning of October in the Congress of Deputies sought to demonstrate popular commitment to “taking care of the needs of families and adapting policies to them.” However, since then the standard has been “frozen” by the Lower House tablecontrolled by the PSOE and its partners, first, and a few days ago the government vetoed it, saying it represented a cost of more than €1.3 billion..
“This is a pioneering and ambitious law which aims to improve the lives of families,” deplore PP sources. “AND whether they like it or not“In this challenge, we are going to take another step.”
XXVII Intermunicipal
In the first table of the Intercommunale, hosted by representative Ana Alós and entitled Municipal councils, safety net, cohesion and territorial equalityThis initiative will be presented in which the protagonists will be local companies.
This involves making possible the use of educational (schools, not institutes) and sports equipment. “as resources to support conciliation”. Currently, warned the PP, there are situations in which the work schedule and the school schedule within a family collide and there are serious difficulties in being able to adequately fulfill professional and family responsibilities.
Town halls, owners of this equipment, “can undoubtedly improve the reconciliation of family life for their neighbors by making some of them available” so that they can develop. complementary, sporting and extracurricular activities.
This formula is not new, sources recall, “because many of our Town Halls are already collaborating in these programs.” But, they add, “it is necessary to continue this necessary collaboration and to increase as much as possible that these activities integrate other services“.
The conciliation law gave a boost to the PP, which came to occupy part of the political space to its left, according to other sources in the Genoa leadership.
Among the measures it included, the free nursery schools from 0 to 3 years old throughout Spain – a policy already implemented in Galicia and Castile and León -, the extension of paternity and maternity leavethe rise of family allowance in charge – frozen since its establishment by the Government of Jose Maria Aznar 25 years ago – or specific recognition for the single-parent families.
