The regional government spokesman, José Ballesta, said today that the region "shares the plight of many Lorca doubly affected by the earthquakes of May 11 and the complicated economic situation in Spain."

Likewise, Jose Ballesta said that "at this time has worked with intensity and consistency to ensure basic services essential for any Lorca was left with them," although he added, the recovery of Lorca "is not a matter of months, because was widespread damage caused earthquakes. "

The regional government spokesman said that "the bureaucratic complexity of ordinances that were approved within hours of earthquakes makes the processing of aid because they did not measure the true extent or damage of a city that literally had sunk.

"We had to rebuild, said José Ballesta, such basic services such as catering, health and education, and implement special employment plan, and now it's time to go a step further and revive the city to make Lorca and its citizens to become better off compared to what it was before the disaster. "

"They have done things, but there is still much to do," admitted Ballesta.

The Minister also pointed out that it is working closely with the Government of Mariano Rajoy to accelerate the process "and said the solution" is closer. "

The regional government spokesman was referring to the new decree prepared by the Council of Ministers, "which will be articulated with more agile and direct mechanisms for rebuilding the city."

In addition, we are working with the central government "to increase and improve aid and its conditions," he said.

Their goal, said Jose Ballesta, is that this standard "will supply the deficiencies of earlier decrees and apply full throttle processing aid", as currently, in many cases "the process is complicated by bureaucratic difficulties imposed."

In addition, the spokesman stressed that what happened in Lorca "is not a situation that affects a single municipality or autonomous region, but a matter of state, because it was one of the worst earthquakes of higher intensity and level of damage that has occurred in Spain. "

Thus, he concluded, "can not be compared with other solutions that have been applied in the case of other earthquakes of lesser magnitude."
