According to the mayor of Lorca, Diego José Mateos, "it is not ruled out that this period can be extended until 2023," as discussed at the meeting held this afternoon at the Ministry of Development.
The mayor of Lorca, Diego José Mateos, has positively valued the meeting held, this afternoon, at the Ministry of Development, in Madrid, and which has been attended by the mayor of the city, the Government Delegate, Francisco Jiménez, of the Socialist deputy in the Congress of Deputies, Marisol Sánchez Jódar, and the Town Planning and Housing Councilor of the Consistory of Lorca, José Luis Ruiz Guillén.
The mayor of Lorca stressed that "the work done by the government team since the summer to find a solution to the extension of the deadlines for the reconstruction of homes, affected by the 2011 earthquakes and that are still pending, are giving its fruits. "
Mateos has pointed out that "the Director General of Housing and Architecture, Francisco Javier Martín, has made an approach in which, surely, and before the end of this year these deadlines will be extended, at least until 2021, without ruling out that the maximum period for such reconstruction may be extended to 2023 ".
The First Edil has been cautious because "this matter is not yet completely closed, but we are optimistic and we are hopeful that the work of the meetings that we have been holding, we remember that this is the second visit to Madrid in a few months, have its result and therefore we can extend the time so that everyone can justify, in a timely manner, their records and be able to close them once and for all. "
Finally, Mateos Molina has added that "work will continue tirelessly, as we have been doing since we arrived at the Town Hall, so that the residents of Lorca can turn the page, closing once and for all, this bitter chapter of history of our city. "
