Francisco Barato, the PSOE's regional deputy for the province of Ciudad Real, positively assessed the data as reflecting the “good socioeconomic direction” of the province of Ciudad Real, in particular Ciudad Real, where Castilla-La Mancha is located.
Keep in mind that Castilla-La Mancha has 8,108 more people working today than it did a year ago, the best February unemployment figure since 2008, while Ciudad Real province is almost 2,000 more unemployed today than it was in February. 2023, the lowest February unemployment figure in 15 years, and 1,500 more people on Social Security than a year ago.
This, he noted, “demonstrates a good direction for the revival of the economy and the creation of employment at the regional and provincial level, and is in line with the national situation.” The strength and continued growth of Castilla-La Mancha's economic situation and the policies of the government of Emiliano García-Páge create work and employment”.
From the institutional and economic support of the Government of Castilla-La Mancha, the economic and commercial sector has progressed to employment-creating policies and other active policies involving the creation of employment opportunities of the administration, for example, advertised employment programs by the Regional Administrator, he recalled.
Employment projects already being developed, with more than €70 million raised by the government this year and put into the hands of city councils, aim to employ and train around 7,000 people in the region.
In this regard, Barado expressed “surprise” that in the face of such an economic initiative by the regional government, city councils governed by the right and far-right “put spokes in the wheels of their own abilities. Create jobs for their neighbors”, they fully use the resources that apply to them in this employment program. Underutilized, they are therefore employed in fewer numbers than they could have done.
At this point he gave the Ciudad Real City Council as an example, again “condemning” that PP and Vox had lost the opportunity to hire 185 people who could have not only had a job, but the training involved. Project “Employment”.
And the City Council of Ciudad Real recalled that although it chose 250 hirings in the employment program of the Board, it requested only 65 employees, therefore, “only 185 families from Ciudad Real will not be eligible for employment. ; but the subsidy related to these unsolicited hirings, which is about 2.4 million euros , is not fully utilized by the need to implement the project
According to Barado, BP “lives with its back to the truth and in constant pursuit of disaster that could easily be dispelled by real data.” This draws the attention of the socialist parliamentarian, “Those who left this region with 28% unemployment when they ruled, cannot even recognize that we are on the right track when today the current unemployment rate in Castilla-La Mancha is 11.9%, and they are losing the job opportunities they rule. .
