Madrid, Spain, Oct 28, 2004 / 22:00 pm
The Spanish Federation of Large Families sent a letter this week to the country’s Minister of Work and Social Issues, Jesus Caldera, asking for a increase in government assistance to mothers with children under 3 years of age, in order to “end discrimination against stay-at-home moms.”
The Federation sent 10 proposals to improve assistance for large families, some of which were based on campaign promises by Spanish President Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero. They include financial assistance and tax benefits for large families as well as making it easier for large families to receive loans.
