Joaquín Hernández, Mayor of Lorquí, stressed that it is a mistake to relax in this situation where we are in the midst of a de-escalation process, which means that we must be cautious with the actions because the virus has not disappeared.
As a consequence, this year the traditional patron saint festivities in honor of Santiago Apóstol, which took place during the month of July, will not be held, as well as the festivals celebrated in the different districts.
With the money destined to the celebration party it will be redirected to sectors that have been directly affected.
These measures will be carried out through the approval of a plan that will be approved at the next municipal plenary session.
This plan is based on reactivating the economic and social situation to try to alleviate as much as possible the level of the consequences derived from COVID-19,as well as the meteorological disaster that occurred last September.
In this way, this plan aims to modify the budget for this year in order to allocate a greater budget to correct the damages caused, to cover expenses derived from this crisis and in order to avoid giving up the works that were being managed to improve the infrastructure of the municipality, as well as creating new ones. During the conference that is held among all the mayors of the Region together with the president of the Autonomous Community, different topics were discussed where Hernández requested a contingency fund to help the municipalities that are facing extraordinary expenses. He also stressed that a kit of material consisting of gloves and mask will be delivered to all citizens of the municipality who need it.
