The Government delegate in Cantabria, Ainoa Quiñones, has highlighted “the transformative importance of municipal policy” and, once again, has “reached out” and “opened the doors of the Delegation of the Government of Spain” to help the municipalities “to solve the problems and to be part of the solutions to make possible the shared objective of advancing greater progress for our towns and cities and greater well-being for our neighbors and neighbors.”
“The Delegation of the Government of Spain is and will continue to be an ally of the municipalities of Cantabria in these four years. An ally without paying attention to political color or ideology because above our differences we have a shared path to travel in defense of the interests of Cantabria,” he said.
Thus, Quiñones has praised the General Administration of the State as “an ally of the municipalities” and has especially highlighted in matters such as the fight against gender violence, the defense of natural heritage, the maintenance of rivers, the fight against depopulation and in the access and obtaining of European funds.
This was pointed out this Friday at the 36th Assembly of the Federation of Cantabrian Municipalities (FMC), which was held at the El Refugio Restaurant in Tano and in which the president of Cantabria, María José Sáenz de Buruaga, also spoke; the president of the Parliament, María José González Revuelta; the outgoing president of the FMC and mayor of Reocín, Pablo Diestro; and the mayor of Torrelavega, Javier López Estrada as host.
Quiñones has emphasized the European funds and the investments that the Government of Spain plans to make on their behalf and has assured that these investments “take very much into account the municipal reality, that local reality, and are investing in improving mobility, the energy efficiency of buildings, urban rehabilitation and regeneration, in short, in making cities more liveable for all.”
And, therefore, he pointed out that also from the Government Delegation “we are and we want to be allies in the use of European funds that are an opportunity to boost every corner of Cantabria and in what we already work with many of you and yourselves”.
Thus, Quiñones pointed out that “today there are already 80 municipalities that receive the advice of the Government of Spain in the management of the funds of the Recovery Plan, an initiative that we launched in March with the aim of reaching and helping everyone but, above all, local entities with less than 5,000 inhabitants, which are usually the ones that present the most limitations and difficulties in management due to lack of human resources to access all the calls”.
In the 36th Assembly of the Federation of Cantabrian Municipalities, the new positions of the entity that will be presided over the next four years by the mayor of Mazcuerras, Javier Camino, have been elected.
