They demand that the Council of Ministers modify an article of a royal decree law, before December 31, so that 400 families are not forced to return the subsidies

The regional government today reiterated to the Government of Spain the need that, urgently, offer a solution to the more than 400 families of Lorca who are rebuilding their homes and extend the deadline so that they can finish the repair works of their affected homes because of the earthquake.

The Secretary General of the Ministry of Development and Infrastructure, Enrique Ujaldón, who chaired today the meeting of the Joint Commission for the Earthquakes of Lorca, explained that "the Council of Ministers only has to modify an article of a royal decree law whose draft already is prepared so that affected families do not have to return the public subsidies received to rebuild their homes. "

Ujaldón demanded that the State offer an "immediate response" and modify the deadline before December 31, so that the families of Lorca finish their works.

Otherwise, families would be obliged to have to return their public reconstruction aid along with the corresponding interests.

According to Ujaldón, "the inaction of the Council of Ministers is not justified and the residents of Lorca do not understand of acting governments."

He also urged the Ministry of Development to forgive the families of Lorca, the late payment of the reparation aid, corresponding to the state tranche of the subsidy, and stressed that "the regional government has already forgiven the interest, a measure that was included in the Budgets Generals of the Autonomous Community of 2018 and subsequent ".

The Mixed Commission approved today the granting of 30 grants to pay the monthly income of the homes in which they reside while they finish the renovation or reconstruction of their homes, for an amount of 281,013 euros.

The Mixed Commission has so far granted a total of 81,211,299 euros for aid for the rental, repair or reconstruction of homes, as well as for the repair of buildings and replacement of household goods, co-financed at 50 percent by the Autonomous Community and the State.
