• These are the main requests that the Popular Party has put on the table and that have deserved the support of all municipal political groups.
In addition, the declaration of the Rambla de Viznaga project has been requested as "priority and urgent" and the Government of Spain has been requested to ensure that the performance of the Insurance Consortium is "flexible, comprehensive and sensitive".
The Councilor for Agriculture in the City of Lorca for the PP, Angel Meca, has welcomed the approval by the Plenary Session of the Municipal Consistory of all measures to support those affected by heavy rains and hail that hit our municipality throughout the last days.
We are talking about claiming that the municipality be declared a catastrophic zone to cover families that have been affected by heavy rains and hail in recent days.
Ángel Meca has indicated that the municipality has to be declared a catastrophic zone, do not think that there has been no damage here.
It is true that in other places the effects have been worse, but here there are families in very complicated situations and infrastructure affected.
That is why we demand that the City Council already carries out a quantification of all damages, including public and private goods.
We cannot be excluded from this statement, which the Regional Government has already stated that it has to include the entire Murcian territory, an initiative that we fully support because it is pure common sense.
From the Lorca PP have also requested the establishment and immediate opening of an office of assistance to the victims, a measure that has always been done before in the event of eventualities of this type.
We are talking about a municipal service through which all the victims are advised and helped to process their particular applications, documents for insurance companies, claims to the Insurance Compensation Consortium, crop damage, particular damages ... We, for our On the other hand, we offer through our social networks a guide action protocol so that those affected have information to that effect.
We must indicate, in this regard, that farmers and ranchers can go to the Regional Agricultural Office to obtain the necessary advice.
The Plenary Session of the City Council has also unanimously approved our proposal to claim the declaration of the channeling project of the Rambla de Viznaga as a "priority and urgent action" by the Government of Spain, a measure that reflects the request of the neighbors, and that It is added to the intervention already carried out in the area by the City Council and the Regional Government.
It is a work that depends on the Ministry and the Hydrographic Confederation of Segura, which must have the support of all.
The PP has also managed to demand that the victims be exempt from paying the IBI, a measure that has to be assumed by the central government.
In any case, we will demand that it be included in the next tax ordinances to ensure that those affected are helped.
From the PP, the support of all the municipal groups has been obtained to demand that the government of Spain instruct the Insurance Compensation Consortium to be flexible, comprehensive and sensitive to the situation suffered by the victims, in order to avoid problems similar to those we have experienced before and that should not be repeated, with special mention being made of the reports of relevant damage assessments.
