The secretary general of Podemos Región de Murcia, Óscar Urralburu, has pointed out during his visit to the municipality together with the councilor, Elia Olgoso de Águilas Can, that the aquilines and aquilines are treated "as third citizens, they are totally neglected by the regional government It is necessary to address the problems they suffer both in their communication with Lorca and with Murcia and those related to the financing of their hotel services.A municipality that has one of its main engines in tourism, has to have enough budget secured to have quality hotel infrastructures and a training in vocational training in catering and catering that is up to the enormous potential of Águilas ".
Urralburu has stated that aquilines and columbines do not have "the same opportunities" as people who live elsewhere in the Region.
This is an "unacceptable injustice for a municipality that has incredible potential."
Examples of this, said the secretary general of Podemos Región de Murcia, is the Cercanías service.
"It is unworthy" he underlined "that the people of Aguilas take two hours to get to Murcia and that during most of the year there are only three a day, it is more typical of underdeveloped territories, above all, the trains they have are the most old ones of Spain and the ticket of the most expensive ones.This is the Region that the Popular Party has created ".
For this reason, Óscar Urralburu has stressed, "we will continue to insist from the Assembly on initiatives that oblige the government to assume its responsibility and change trains that are more than 35 years old and that the line is obsolete and not electrified. has Renfe in Águilas and hold it as an industrial reference in the area. "
Regarding the hospitality and tourism model, Urralburu has visited King Carlos III, where he has been able to verify the "need for investment in this center." It is not possible that we have a municipality that plays in the Champions in terms of what it offers, the season summer and the carnivals are a good example, and then have the restoration and hospitality FP in the third division in budget. "
Therefore, Óscar Urralburu explained, we also want to work in the Regional Assembly on something that Aguilas Can has presented at the City Council, the implementation of the Medium-level Training Cycles of "Cooking and Gastronomy" and "Services in Restoration".
The secretary general of Podemos Región de Murcia has asserted that "to attract quality tourism we need qualified professionals and we want the aquilines and aquilines that form in Águilas to stay in their town working for them." Águilas must have a public school, in which training courses related to the professional family "Hospitality and Tourism" are given, since tourism is an economic engine and generator of employment in the municipality.
Likewise, Óscar Urralburu visited the pier of El Hornillo.
From there he told us that, as Águilas Can did, from the Assembly we are going to press for the opening of two of the tunnels that are closed on this jetty.
"It is one of the most visited places in the area," he stressed, "and we want to be able to put all its potential into action." In those two tunnels, it could be a place to enjoy, learn and be a reference center to know and be participants in its history. "
