Palma.—Half a million euros more. That is the amount the Balearic government will allocate to help fight poverty and social exclusion in the region, its president, Jose Ramon Bauza announced yesterday.
The new amount, now set at 2,5 million euros will be used to ensure all local citizens have their “most basic needs” covered. Opposition parties questioned the commitment of the current government towards the cause during a parliament session yesterday, but Bauza replied saying their support and attention to the cause cannot be denied.
“We ( current government Partido Popular) have, do and will continue to do everything within our reach to ensure the number of children living in poverty continues to decline.
