Galmés activates an 84 million plan against the impact of the war, while Cladera questions her use of remaining funds

PalmThe president of the Consell de Mallorca, Llorenç Galmés, has announced the Plan Mallorca Protegeix, endowed with 84 million euros, to face the economic and social impact of the war conflict in the Middle East, because "the island institution acts with responsibility, diligence and speed to protect the families, businesses and productive sector of Mallorca".

For their part, the spokesperson for the PSIB, Catalina Cladera, has criticized the dates of the debate, eight months after the previous one, and has insinuated that it could be because Galmés, "was in a hurry" to announce the measures to alleviate the effects of the war in Iran and the Middle East. Furthermore, Cladera has criticized that the remaining funds available to the Consell are being used to finance these anti-crisis measures.

On the other hand, the socialist has "missed" a condemnation by Galmés of a war, which she has described as "illegal" and "avoidable" with consequences for the civilian population.

Among the measures, Llorenç Galmés has highlighted the nine million euros directed at the most vulnerable families so that they can cope with basic expenses in the face of rising prices. Also the two million for families with federated children under 16 years of age to compensate for sports expenses and one million euros for clubs and federations. Likewise, one million euros will be allocated to agricultural cooperatives to defend Mallorca's agricultural sector and two million euros in local product consumption vouchers. The cultural and artisan sector will also have 300,000 euros in aid.

In addition, the president of the Consell de Mallorca has indicated that up to 75% or 100% of subsidy advances will be anticipated to streamline administrative management. He has also announced that public works contract awards will be reviewed to update prices and extend deadlines.

Llorenç Galmés has assured that the island institution maintains its commitment to public investment with 51.5 million euros to modernize and improve the sustainability of road infrastructure, and two million euros to renovate municipal sports facilities.

This package of measures, most of them immediate and complementary to those of the regional government and the Spanish government, will be approved at the next plenary session on April 9.
