The mayor of Mijas, Josele González (PSOE), and the councillor for Social Services, Hipólito Zapico (PSOE), met this week with social groups that received municipal aid in 2022, called the third sector. The objective was to understand their demands and intensify relations with these associations whom the mayor thanked “for the work they have done historically and, above all, lately in these difficult years of the pandemic, when they have had a really bad time”. For the mayor, these associations are a “fundamental part of the social architecture of a municipality” and hence the Town Hall is “in the obligation to continue working with them”, because although its object is not within the scope of the Town Hall “they are of their concern”. After meeting with all of them individually, the mayor and the councillor of the area have wanted to do it with all of them together to see firsthand their needs: “Today, we wanted to put together that reality and somehow forge that alliance we already have with social groups and improve it for the future, expanding precisely that social investment made by the Municipality of Mijas. We are still evaluating budgetarily how we can carry it out, listening precisely what their needs are and seeing what beneficial projects can be implemented that will redound in the citizens of Mijas”, said the mayor. Specifically, in 2022, the Mijas Town Hall allocated 536,500 euros to the following entities: Afesol (65,000 euros), Apaffer (10,000 euros), Cudeca (40,000 euros), Red Cross (214,000 euros), AFA Mijas (70,000 euros), Adimi (85,000 euros), Málaga Acoge (7,500 euros), AFA Fuengirola-Mijas Costa (20,000 euros) and AECC (25,000 euros), all of them present at the meeting, with the exception of the last three, who for different reasons could not attend on this occasion. “From the Town Hall in Mijas we are making a very strong and unique commitment in the province by subsidizing this type of associations of social character, which are doing a very important job that is not being provided by the Junta de Andalucía *Regional Government of Andalusia), for example, if we did not have the associations of Alzheimer’s patients with their day centers, the relatives would have nowhere to go”, reflected Zapico
