The release of data, showing Inca as the district with highest rate of growth of unemployment, for the second year in succession, brought about a dissent by the Socialist group which is Opposition. The growth rate of unemployment here is 3.7%. The opposition accused Partido party for not taking correct measures to address this problem and demanded a cross party group to be formed to tackle this problem.
The members of the socialist party demanded an overall “re-thinking” of the issue to come out with fresh ideas to overcome this problem. They said that they had analysed the present economic situation carefully and also assert that the present government is not trying its best to come up new ideas to solve this problem. Further, they add that this problem evolved more because of the poor planning of the Partido Popular than the economic slump. The spokesman of socialist party said that there were no incentives for new companies and also that the town council does not give any support to those which are already operating in Inca. He also said that the present unemployment rate is the worst since 1997. He said that the Partido popular did not make good use of the business funds accrued in its previous term in office which is clearly evident from the fact that in the last thirteen years, no land has been allotted for companies or industries.
The Opposition plans to draw support from unions, businessmen, trading organisations and other political parties to protest against the job slump.
