New Generations of Toledo presented the XXIII edition of the “Populares Solidarios” Christmas campaigna food and toy collection initiative that will once again travel across the province with the aim of helping the most vulnerable families and homes.
During the appearance, … The provincial president of New Generations of Toledo, Roberto García, stressed that this campaign “continues out of necessity”, denouncing that in the 21st century solidarity initiatives like this are increasingly necessary, “taking into account the increase in the price of the basket which, since the arrival of the PSOE in government, has increased by more than 30% for basic products“.
In this sense, García warned that “poverty is increasing, the middle class is getting poorer and thousands of families are abandoned by the policies of the PSOE of Pedro Sánchez”, recalling that More than 12 million people in Spain are at risk of poverty or social exclusionamong them millions of children, Nouvelles Générations reports in a press release.
“The government talks about social justice when there are empty refrigerators, salaries that do not arrive and homes stifled by the price of electricity and gas,” said Roberto García.
For all these reasons, he defended that “the best social policy is to create stable jobs, reduce taxes and support families”, and insisted that “solidarity cannot become the alibi of a failing government”.
For his part, the provincial director of the “Populares Solidarios” campaign, Alberto López, highlighted the consolidated and transversal nature of this initiative, which celebrates 23 years as one of the hallmarks of the New Generations of Toledo.
López explained that the campaign will be developed throughout the province, with a presence in many municipalities and with the direct participation of local councils and young people of the organization, through collections of food, toys and clothing, as well as sports and socio-cultural activities.
Likewise, he recalled the success of previous editions, in which More than 10,000 kilos of food, 1,500 toys and 1,000 euros were collectedwith the firm intention of exceeding these figures in this edition, thanks to the collaboration of neighbors, associations and volunteers. “Populares Solidarios is an effective tool to reach those who need it most and to fill homes with joy on these dates,” he emphasized.
From Nuevas Generaciones de Toledo they called for the participation and solidarity of all citizens of the province of Toledo, encouraging them to join this campaign.
