IU-Greens Sewer has filed a motion in Parliament tomorrow requesting the City Council to develop a plan to combat fuel poverty, in order to guarantee the right of citizens to basic household supplies.
The initiative also calls for the central government to require the adoption of a law against energy poverty, governing the system of basic supplies, including mechanisms that prevail savings and penalize inefficient consumption and social set prices.
It also requests that the City urges the Executive to amend the law governing the VAT to be reduced gas bills and electricity in the home.
Councillor IU-Greens in Sewell, Carmen Maria Pina, has indicated that more and more families in the town who can not afford to pay bills and necessary basic services such as electricity and water.
Pina has noted that given the "dramatic energy poverty" in many households, utilities have increased by 104 percent its profit in the last ten years and provide for an increase in revenue in the first quarter.
In addition, he recalled that fuel poverty affects more than three million homes across Spain, whose families can not even afford basic supplies for life.
