The next plenary session of the Parliament of La Rioja, scheduled for Thursday, June 4, starting at 09:00, will focus mainly on the housing sector, the Co-responsibility Plan, the possible return of European funds, and the situation of health professionals.
The session will begin with questions directed to the president of the Riojan Government, Gonzalo Capellán, which are yet to be specified, followed by questions to the regional Executive. The first four, from the Popular Parliamentary Group, will address how much the Government of La Rioja has increased aid for the Revive Plan compared to what was initially contemplated, what support instruments are currently offered to promote the growth and consolidation of Riojan companies, what proposals the Government of La Rioja has submitted to the Ebro Hydrographic Confederation to be taken into account in the review of the fourth cycle of the Ebro Hydrological Plan for the period 2028-2033, and what actions the Government plans to continue promoting tourism in our community.
Next, the Socialist Parliamentary Group will question the Executive about when the Government of La Rioja plans to publish the aid order that will allow for the development of actions under the 2026 Co-responsibility Plan in municipalities and inter-municipal entities of our autonomous community. Afterwards, the IU Parliamentary Group will ask if the Government of La Rioja will do anything to intervene in the labor dispute maintained by the workers in the residential sector.
The Vox Parliamentary Group will inquire about what measures the Government of La Rioja will take regarding the continuous delays by the Government of Spain in the works of the southern ring road of Logroño. The socialists, for their part, will ask if the Government of La Rioja can guarantee that it will not return European funds due to non-compliance regarding the construction of the Scientific-Technological Park, as well as how the Government of La Rioja assesses its industrial policy.
Later, the Popular Parliamentary Group will ask new questions about how the Government of La Rioja values the strategy implemented to attract healthcare talent and increase the number of medical professionals in the Riojano Health Service, about how many families are given the necessary coverage to facilitate the use of textbooks, and about the Government's opinion on the strange situation currently occurring whereby the Government of La Rioja is already drafting the budgets for 2027 while the Government of Spain continues with budgets approved in 2022.
The block of questions will conclude with one from the Socialist Parliamentary Group on how the Government explains that SERIS doctors report structural problems of planning, staffing, and organization that are the exclusive responsibility of the Government of La Rioja, while the Minister of Health continues to point to the Ministry of Health as the sole responsible party.
After the questions, the plenary session will continue with an interpellation from the Podemos-IU Parliamentary Group regarding the Government's general policy on Agriculture, Livestock, the Rural World, and the Environment, and another from the PSOE on the general policy of the Government of La Rioja regarding Relations with the Parliament of La Rioja. Another interpellation from Podemos-IU will be added regarding the Government's general policy on educational infrastructure and equipment.
The debate will continue with a motion resulting from an interpellation by the Socialist Parliamentary Group so that "it is agreed to urge the Government of La Rioja to develop a shock plan to act urgently on the elements that run the greatest risk of collapse, drafting a timeline of actions and allocating the precise and sufficient funding for its execution, reinforcing the technical intervention capacity not only to restore and rehabilitate, but also to prevent".
Non-Law Proposals in the final stretch of the plenary session
The session will be completed with several Non-Law Proposals. The first, from the Socialist Parliamentary Group, proposes that the Parliament of La Rioja urge the regional Government to carry out, within one year of the initiative's approval, a study of needs and a proposal for improvement of air conditioning, both in winter and summer, in the public educational centers of the community, with a participatory and consensual process with the FAPA.
The Vox Parliamentary Group will defend the implementation of a specific medical statute. For its part, IU will request that the Government of La Rioja be urged to guarantee a public transport service for all people with disabilities who must attend specialized centers, regardless of the municipality in which they reside, and coordinated with the schedule and timetables of said centers.
In addition, Vox will request the declaration of an Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC) for the bullrings of Haro and Calahorra. The PSOE will demand that the Parliament of La Rioja recognize the professional, training, and care evolution of the group of auxiliary nursing care technicians (TCAE), as well as their essential role in the functioning of the public health system and in the quality of patient care, and urge the Government of La Rioja to extend the scope of the integration and adaptation processes provided for in Law 9/2023, on public function of La Rioja, regarding auxiliary health categories, to all statutory personnel of the Service.
