In recent years, the city of Lorca has hosted thousands of families from Ecuador.
These Ecuadorians have fully settled in our town, developing their life and sharing neighborliness with all Lorca, who have shown their hospitality to newcomers to the point of turning them into new Lorca, name taken by the Ecuadorian group that in recent years he has developed an enormous work in the city for integration and multiculturalism.
Sunday April 17, 2016 the earth vibrated in Ecuador wreaking havoc and leaving tragic human and material damage.
In these moments difíles want to convey to all the people of Ecuador our solidarity and affection to all the families of those affected by this natural disaster.
In Lorca it is still alive the memory of the fateful earthquake in May 2011 that devastated the City of the Sun and therefore we are fully aware of the drama that are suffering and nobody can imagine their anguish and grief.
The relationship between Lorca municipality with greater presence of Ecuadorian citizens, and Ecuador and for being, well, sister lands in misfortune, our support should not be reduced to mere words of encouragement.
Therefore, from the Hon.
Lorca City Council have launched various lines of work aimed at recovering collaborate with Ecuador.
Thus, the Consistory through its Mayor-President wrote to the President of the Republic of Ecuador, Hon.
Mr. Rafael Correa, to convey our moods and offer our experience in responding to earthquakes.
Similarly, we got in touch with the Acting Consul to convey our willingness to collaborate in everything that was in our hand.
By last, we opened discussions with the Honorary Consul, Juan Bastidas, on the same terms.
Another line of collaboration implementation has been the opening of a joint account through which all stakeholders can provide economic aid to help the victims.
This account, which today is open for collaborations, is: ES18 0487 0006 9920 8000 0245.
Finally, the City Council and groups linked to Ecuadorian citizens resident in Spain will develop a series of activities to show our solidarity with the Ecuadorian people and to cooperate economically with their recovery.
These include popular cuestaciones and a charity gala to be held at the Teatro Guerra Lorca on Sunday 15 May, among other actions.
Solidarity is the tenderness of the people and therefore we will continue to demonstrate that lorquino people is solidarity and adjoins those in need, now with the Ecuadorian people.
