The women's employment plan will receive just over 6 million of the 15 announced to launch a dozen initiatives that promote labor incorporation and family reconciliation. A program with five actions and 4 million euros is also planned to incorporate young university students and vocational training graduates into the job market, with the aim of promoting the rejuvenation of the technical cadres of Murcian companies. The third program, with six actions and more than four million euros, will go towards reincorporating the unemployed over 45 years of age into the labor market. "There are three initiatives with more than 14 million euros in 2019 with the aim of employment reaching the most vulnerable sectors," he highlighted.

That was not the only announcement that he made as president in the debate on the political performance of the Governing Council during the last year. Starting in 2019 and for three years there will also be a reduction in the regional section of personal income tax "that will reach the middle classes, which are the ones that have borne the brunt of the crisis." There will also be deductions for school expenses for children from 0 to 3 years old, with an effect on nearly eight thousand families, and for birth and adoption "as a measure to promote birth rates."
