Francina Armengol explained that "when we began to govern eight years ago, we decided that a strong hold of the Regional Government had to be active employment policies, focused on the groups that need it most, and all the specific programmes that we have launched have shown that they work: people who go through them have more opportunities to find a job in private companies than those who don't».
Finally, the President of the Government has claimed the fact of having professional experience in the Public Administration because "it gives you a very positive vision and because it is from the public sphere that you change the rules of this society and how you can work to make life easier for your colleagues, neighbours, family and the general public".
