Combating Alcoholism in Ciutat Vella (Local News)

In an article on Dec. 6 in El Periodico, the councilor of Ciutat Vella, Itziar Gonzalez is doing his best to help alcoholics in his district. He believes that if he can fight alcoholism that the homelessness problem will decrease too. The program will help direct the people with problems to social services. He thinks that this will get to the root of their alcoholism. People in the community are excited for this because some people have complained about the alcoholics being aggresive and annoying to the people who live in the neighborhood. The main thing Gonzalez is trying to do is bring together all of the social services and community organization so they can all fight the same problem as one.

Here is a link to the article online: http://www.elperiodico.com/default.asp?idpublicacio_PK=46&idioma=CAS&idnoticia_PK=667980&idseccio_PK=1022
