Perdomo has expressed concern about potential delays in managing these subsidies, which he considers a priority for families in La Palma. The spokesperson fears that the process will follow the same slow pattern observed in other relevant matters for the island's citizens.
The aid package, amounting to 200 euros per month, was a proposal by the Socialist Group that received support from the Island Corporation. These subsidies are expected to be operational for the current academic year, easing the financial burden on families.
“"If the problem of exorbitant rental prices represented a serious handicap for families in La Palma who have their sons and daughters studying abroad, the increase in prices due to the war in the Middle East further aggravates this situation and requires a quick and urgent response from the Cabildo."
The socialist representative has criticized Coalición Canaria's stance in the Cabildo, noting that instead of acting in the face of crises, it merely requests support from the State. Perdomo highlights that the State has reacted with greater agility and forcefulness to mitigate the consequences of the conflict in the Middle East, implementing structural measures that benefit society in general and the most vulnerable.
Finally, Borja Perdomo has emphasized the need for the Cabildo to redouble its efforts to ensure equal opportunities for students in La Palma. This involves correcting inequalities stemming from double insularity, rising rental prices, and the economic repercussions of the war in the Middle East.
