“The Government of Spain is aware of the needs that Melilla has had since the first day it came to the Government. We were aware that we had seven years of cuts and in order to reverse the situation the government led by Pedro Sánchez has launched an endless number of actions in the city with historical investments.”
The Delegate of the Government, Sabrina Moh, in statements to the media, has claimed the firm and sustained commitment of the Government of Spain to the autonomous city. In this regard, it has highlighted key infrastructures such as the new educational centers or the University Hospital of Melilla, whose construction has involved an investment of 150 million euros. “They are real, tangible investments that respond to the needs of the people of Melilla. I’m not saying it, that’s the data,” he said.
Moh stressed that, unlike what the previous Government of the Popular Party did, from this Executive “we have not eliminated Melilla from the map in terms of investments, but what we have done has been to invest, it has been to worry, it has been to implement that commitment that President Pedro Sánchez acquired with our city”. And in that same line, he added, “we will continue working.”
The highest representative of the Government of Spain in our city has also appealed to the need to strengthen dialogue and institutional consensus as a basis to promote new actions that benefit the citizens.
“All the actions that we want to promote from the Autonomous City require a dialogue, a consensus and an in-depth analysis,” said Moh, stressing the importance of activating the channels of cooperation, as well as the corresponding work tables, so that both the City Government and the Assembly can formulate solid and well-founded proposals that can be transferred to the central Executive.
“The right way is to work together and constructively. The Government of Spain has always been aware of the specific needs of Melilla, and not from now, but from the first day,” said Moh, who has demanded that the Government of the Autonomous City adopt an equally responsible and respectful attitude. “It is not a question of issuing empty public statements, but of sitting down to talk, to agree and to make concrete proposals that really serve to improve Melilla,” he said.
The Delegate has concluded by reiterating an appeal for institutional dialogue as a way to consolidate the progress already achieved and address the challenges that the city still has ahead of it. “It is time to join forces, to build positively and always put the general interest of the Melillenses above any other approach,” he said.
