The socialist spokesperson, Laura Gil, has demanded that "the City Council and the Autonomous Community implement urgent and strategic measures because in 15 months we have gone from 1,820 unemployed to 2,587 in the municipality." The councilor and general secretary of the PSOE of San Javier, Laura Gil, has warned that "unemployment does not stop growing in the municipality and since the mayor José Miguel Luengo has an absolute majority in the City Council and does not do anything effective to combat the Job destruction has already increased by 42.14%, much more than in the rest of Spain and the region ". Gil has regretted that "Luengo is seeing how many jobs are lost month after month in San Javier and he is not capable of launching initiatives of economic dynamization and diversification, nor is he demanding them from the Regional Government, lest he not get in the picture.
" "The latest unemployment data show that there are 767 more unemployed than 15 months ago, when the PP began to govern the municipality alone.
This means that in San Javier unemployment has grown much faster than in the rest of the country.
(where it grows 25.22%) and in the region (with an increase of 25.53%), specifically almost 17 percentage points more, "added Laura Gil. Given these circumstances "the 2,587 residents of San Javier and their districts that are currently unemployed, need that who has to watch over their interests move and not leave them helpless while unemployment continues to grow in the municipality when in the Region and the country it has even decreased in the last month ", adds Laura Gil. At the closure of the airport and the anoxia of the Mar Menor, add the garbage rate "The explanation that both the unemployment figures are much worse in San Javier than in other municipalities in the Region and the country, is that the City Council and the Autonomous Community have not done anything in terms of economic revitalization and active employment policies, at the same time that they suffocated us with the closure of the airport, the anoxia of the Mar Menor and now pressing more companies and families with the new garbage rate ", added Laura Gil, who recalled that" they have not even been able to bid residents of the municipality the employment generated by the work of the Almansa Park, awarded to businessmen linked to illegal financing of the PP ". The socialist spokesperson stressed that in addition, "Luengo only sells inflated ideas such as his Ciudad del Aire project, for which he does not take into account the opposition's proposals, and which, according to him, recognizes, in the best of cases, in several years it would create 33 jobs of the 2,587 that are needed in San Javier ". Finally, Gil recalled that "they cannot hide from the pandemic, since most of this employment has been destroyed before and in the rest of the country and the region they continue to have better data with COVID19 than in San Javier"
