Canary Islands and La Palma demand faster funding for post-volcano reconstruction
The Government of the Canary Islands and the Island Council of La Palma have formally requested that the Ministry of Territorial Policy accelerate the approval of the reconstruction agreement. This measure is essential for recovering the areas affected by the volcanic eruption that took place on the island several years ago.
Local authorities have expressed their concern regarding the slow arrival of the necessary financial resources. According to island representatives, the lack of these funds is delaying key projects for the recovery of infrastructure, housing, and public services that were destroyed by the lava.
The main objective of this request is to ensure that families and economic sectors in La Palma receive the promised aid without further delay. The regional government stresses that reconstruction is an absolute priority to restore normalcy to the lives of the island's citizens.
For its part, the Ministry of Territorial Policy has indicated that it is working on the necessary administrative procedures to formalize the agreement. The central executive assures that the commitment to the recovery of La Palma remains in effect and that a technical solution is being sought to resolve the situation as soon as possible.
The situation on the island remains a matter of great national importance in Spain. Meanwhile, the inhabitants of La Palma continue to wait for concrete measures that will allow for progress in the definitive reconstruction of their homes and the local economy.
