The councilor of Vox in the Santander City Council, Guillermo Pérez-Cosío, has denounced that while our neighbors "go hungry and in need" the Government team allocates 4,000 euros from this year's budget to a food and health aid project in the Sahara developed by an association and the Red Crescent.

The municipal manager of Vox criticizes that the City Council develops international cooperation actions that "do not correspond to it" and also "does it without a global vision or any capacity to control the proper use of money that comes from the pocket of Santander."

"It is one thing to support the political cause of the freedom of the Sahara after decolonization and quite another to allocate economic resources abroad when in Spain and in our city there are many families that are in a critical economic situation," he added.

Vox considers that providing free masks is a necessary expense

Pérez-Cosío has also announced that given the harshness of the economic and health crisis that Spain is going through, Vox has presented initiatives in all State Institutions to request the free supply of masks while their use is mandatory.

In the motion presented at the Santander City Council, which will be discussed in the plenary session next November, it is also requested that, once the alarm period is over, masks continue to be distributed at no cost to those who request it under medical prescription.

In the Vox motion, the request to the central government is added to "present a Bill to modify VAT and that the purchase of masks is exempt from this tax as is the case in other neighboring countries."

The mayor recalled that "in Vox we work to improve the lives of Santander and not to occupy headlines or to try to fix the world with the tax money that is so difficult for them to pay to the neighbors in the current situation."

“Nor are we going to allow public money to continue to be wasted and we will demand that every euro be used for social policies, supporting the hotel industry and local commerce. Unnecessary spending has to begin to be a thing of the past at Santander City Council ”, he concluded.
