Financial aid to guarantee basic food supply
2025-09-15 • No comments • • City
Social emergency financial aid is not just welfare benefits. They form part of the benefits implemented by the social protection system to overcome situations of social difficulty. In accordance with the provisions of Law 11/2003 on Social Services, these economic benefits, together with the techniques and materials, will be the actions carried out to achieve, re-establish or improve their welfare.
Based on data from the National Statistics Institute's Living Conditions Survey, it is estimated that 1% of the inhabitants of the municipality of "cannot afford a meal of meat, chicken or fish at least every two days", some 32,000 people. If we take into account that less than 14,000 people receive the Minimum Income of Insertion, we see that the population that cannot afford a basic diet is more than double that which receives economic aid from the Autonomous Community. This shows that the Community's aid does not reach all the people who need it either.
In recent years, night-time queues of people waiting to pick up waste from supermarkets have become commonplace in working-class neighbourhoods. New neighbourhood food collection and distribution networks have also emerged, a clear symptom of the inadequacy of public policies and the overflow of traditional NGOs.
We consider that Participatory Budgets can be an opportunity to reach objectives of coverage of needs not reached until now, and to offer a definitive support to people and families that do not reach their autonomy and well-being because the existing aids are not sufficient.
Our proposal consists of fully allocating the 30 million euros of the Participatory Budgets to an economic aid programme to eradicate food poverty in the city. This would mean contributing 0.6% of the City Council Budget to satisfy a basic need of 1% of the population, the most vulnerable.
We invite you to massively support this proposal to eradicate this social stigma and as a way of demonstrating to Public Administrations that what citizens demand in the first place is that basic human rights be guaranteed.
Sustainable social economy project
2025-09-15 • No comments • • North district
It is proposed the creation of a market where neighbors can exchange objects (barter), would not be a selling market, nor with the existence of donations, nor would there be any profit, only exchange of objects without the presence of money. And in order to do so, it is requested that part of the public space in the Children's Park be adapted with the urban furniture necessary to make this market where barter can be carried out between the neighbours.
The necessary urban furniture would be tables, benches and a closed space to store materials that will be used in the barter market.
This proposal is created due to the lack of public spaces destined to the neighborhood meeting, to improve the social economy of the neighborhoods and to continue with the work that the collectives and the neighbors of the district of Chamartín had been doing in the barter market that was carried out in the park of Gloria Fuertes.
The estimated value of investment in this proposal would be around € 5000.
Shade trees in squares

Plant shade trees in squares that are now mere stone deserts or lack them, so that they can be used by neighbors as small oases in the city and contribute to clean the environment and lower high temperatures in summer. To provide them with sufficient land and irrigation so that they can live and develop (and not remain like sad skewers). Choose species that work well in this environment.

Dámaso Alonso's library is small and would need to be enlarged in order to enlarge the collection of books.

The city must have more charging zones to encourage the purchase of electric vehicles. For a cleaner and greener city.

District International Blues Festival
2025-09-15 • No comments • • South district
We believe that the city deserves an international Blues festival as it is held in other cities. The musical offer is wide and, especially in the months of spring to autumn, there are a lot of live music activities. However, Blues is in a position of inferiority to other musical styles, as it has enjoyed little institutional support for its promotion. That is why we are making this proposal, a Festival that will be free and will feature leading figures of national and international Blues.
Last year we had the opportunity to organize a Blues festival with musicians, which was developed with great success. This fact, together with the flourishing associative and cultural activity of the District in the last years, encourages us to propose this International Festival taking advantage of the existing municipal spaces.
Its realization could serve as a means to create in the district a cultural circuit with a stable cultural program, as it provides for the exploitation of synergies with other associations, seeking their participation and collaboration. The event will also have economic advantages for the District and for the city, as this type of event attracts fans, with the consequent increase in activity, especially in the services sector.
The Festival will include musical and children's activities, a conference, a documentary screening, a master class and an exhibition, with the aim of presenting a broad programme aimed at all audiences.
Calendar: SpringFriday 24 and Saturday 25 May + Friday 31 May, Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 June
Remodelling of the central square
2025-09-15 • No comments • • East district
The residents of the square want a reform of the square that makes it greener more colorful and more of all neighbors eradicating bad habits there. we also want the square to be more sustainable even placing triangular sails that provide shade in summer and water mist to cool the area. we also want more trees and cultural alternatives such as theater and puppets some solidarity market and even the possibility of giving a concert with unidirectional speakers. We are open to any suggestion or idea from any of the neighbors of the district.
Reading rooms: accessibility and wi-fi
2025-09-15 • No comments • • South district
The reading rooms are one of the few spaces, next to the libraries, where the youth of the district can study quietly and properly prepare their exams.
Recently some of them have been rehabilitated, but they need improvements both to allow access to their services to everyone and to facilitate the consultation of information and knowledge so necessary while a person studies. Therefore, we propose that in the four reading rooms:
To install elements that allow accessibility to people with reduced mobility, except in Cebreros due to the strong technical difficulties of carrying it out. Free wi-fi network coverage is available. We also propose the installation of accessibility elements for people with reduced mobility at the western entrance to the Cultural Centre.
