According to José Eduardo Illueca Councilman Cieza IU-Greens, with the unstoppable growth of the number of people who come to humanitarian organizations, such as Caritas or the Red Cross, or the Social Services themselves, looking for food, "the public authorities are obliged, among them the city perhaps more than any other, to ensure satisfaction of all basic needs compatible with human dignity, that people do not suffer from hunger and poverty. "

With this philosophy, IU-Green presented the regular plenary session Cieza November a motion for the creation of a Public Food Bank in the city, "as it is taking place in numerous locations in the Spanish geography, in order to add material and financial contribution of the government, together with its coordination capacity, the effort made by many private operators, notably NGOs, to alleviate the plight of growing poverty in this country.

"

In the search for solutions "must also engage the City Council from the perspective of the economic contribution by enabling budget for this purpose, as was done, in his day, with a portion of the funds of the Plan E, with good results and generally accepted ", and that" it would be appropriate to channel management and other surplus food donations from associations, organizations - including the city of Cieza - and individuals through a Public Food Bank would be responsible for executing a plan Food Aid to be developed by the Department of Social Affairs ".

Ecosocialists initiative also contemplates the agreement for the establishment of a Public Bank Food and the budget for food purchases by the City of Cieza bound for distribution among the needy, the proposed "subsidize Red Cross and Caritas EUR 2,000 each for the purchase of food until the end of the year, a modest contribution of public funds to the difficulties that these entities suffer to fulfill its humanitarian purposes.
