March 18, 2024.- The Subdelegate of the Government in Valladolid, Jacinto Canales, met today with the Acalde of Viana de Cega, Alberto Collantes, to whom he offered the support of the Government, to alleviate the damages of the flood that caused the flood of the River Cega in the locality, last January 21.
Jacinto Canales reminded the mayor that Viana de Cega has at its disposal the aid of the Ministry of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory to local corporations, which cover up to 50% of the cost of the projects implemented by the city council to repair municipal infrastructure, facilities and equipment, as agreed by the Council of Ministers on March 5. The rest must be financed with contributions from the City Council, the Provincial Council or the Autonomous Community.
The city council must request this help from the Subdelegation of the Government in Valladolid, accompanied by a complete memory with determination, assessment and images of each of the damages caused by the flood in municipal property.
The Subdelegation of the Government in Valladolid will instruct the file and will process it before the Ministry of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory for its resolution.
