Ourense, August 24, 2023.- The subdelegate of the Government in Ourense, Emilio González, reaffirmed the commitment of the Government of Pedro Sánchez for the green transition and the digitalization of rural councils, with investments that, in Rairiz de Vega, exceed 600,000 euros through three ministries.
Emilio González went to the City Council of Rairiz de Vega this morning. There he held a meeting with the mayor, Asunción Morgade, to supervise the state investments in this municipality and know their demands and opinions.
Emilio González also visited the itinerant exhibition "Tu estan" with poems by the artist Luz Pichel that is made in the library of the City Council and is part of the project "The mirror in the memory of the stroke of the word" promoted by the Ministry of Culture and Sports, a further sample of the "commitment of the Government of Pedro Sánchez to the citizenship and cultural development of the municipalities of the demographic challenge" in which the funds of the Recovery Plan reach all corners of the territory.
Emilio González put Rairiz de Vega as an example of the Government’s commitment to small municipalities, "which are called to be protagonists of the transformation of Spain towards a green, digital, sustainable and cohesive country, to achieve the objectives of the demographic challenge"
Public lighting efficiency
In the same green transition line, the subdelegate included the aid granted by the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, through the Institute for Energy Diversification IDAE. This aid amounted to 633,614 euros and with it the local government faced the energy improvement of the municipal lighting of this Council.
The action, which is currently in its second phase, consists of the replacement of traditional type luminaires with LED type luminaires of greater performance and efficiency, along with the replacement of control panels.
High Speed Internet Coverage
Emilio González also advanced the impact of the investments in digitalization that the Government is implementing, through the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation, and that will also reach Rairiz de Vega. This action is part of the UNICO-Broadband Program, within the Government’s Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan.
He explained that the UNICO-Broadband Program will facilitate the ultra-fast broadband connection to 370 homes and businesses in Rairiz de Vega, which in practice means the complete digitalization of the municipal territory, giving it access with speeds of 300Mbs.
