“I have always believed that the best paths are those that have no end, those that are made up of stages, those that encourage us to move forward always, those that encourage us to live a continuous progress.” The subdelegate of the Government in A Coruña thus began her intervention during the inauguration of the Repsol maritime terminal that took place this morning in the external port of Punta Langosteira.
Before the different authorities that met at the event, María Rivas has defined the inauguration of the terminal as “the culmination of a stage of that path of progress that others began 20 years ago”.
The deputy delegate of the Government has congratulated all the institutions, administrations, companies “and all the people who have made this moment possible” both as a citizen and as a representative “of a Government committed to a green Spain”.
In her speech, María Rivas, highlighted the union of institutions and the involvement of companies. “Loyal administrations, which collaborate, which build a united future, and which also do so with strong and committed companies. That is what the citizens demand of us, that is what we owe them, and this space is the fruit of it,” he said.
The deputy delegate recalled the Prestige disaster that occurred on the Galician coast 20 years ago, “a disaster that marked us and left its mark” but that also left a municipal government and a Government of Spain committed to an external port for A Coruña and its area.
María Rivas mentioned the work of alcades and presidents “involved” who saved obstacles in the project of the external port throughout several stages “the last one by the hand of the mayor of A Coruña, Inés Rey, and of the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, with the investment commitment of 130 million euros to make the railway link of Punta Langosteira a reality”
The subdelegate acknowledged the work of Xunta de Galicia, State Ports, Diputación de A Coruña and Arteixo City Council to make possible the reality of the external port. He also highlighted the work and commitment of Mayor Inés Rey and Pedro Sánchez “who have once again made investments to advance the city and its environment”.
María Rivas referred to Repsol’s commitment to A Coruña “the inauguration of this maritime terminal is another example of Repsol’s relationship with A Coruña and its area”. In this sense, the subdelegate recalled that for most of the coruñesas and coruñeses Repsol is “The Refinery, that company in which so many people in our city have worked and continue to do so, and that is why we feel it is our own”.
The deputy delegate went to the president of Repsol, Antonio Bufrau to show her satisfaction and gratitude for “sharing our concerns and concerns” and getting involved in the progress and well-being of A Coruña and its region.
Finally, the subdelegate assured that the Government of Spain “will continue to make its way” and will continue to work to advance welfare and progress.
