The spokesperson for the Gomera Socialist Group (ASG) Parliamentary Group insists on the importance of providing economic funds to the actions of the central government
The spokesperson for the Gomera Socialist Group Parliamentary Group (ASG), Casimiro Curbelo, defended this Wednesday the need to carry out coordinated work between the Government of the Canary Islands and the State in the different plans planned to reactivate the economy and social policies in the current scenario marked by the effects of Covid-19.
"We have to encourage the complementation of the measures provided for, on the one hand, in the regional Plan for the Social and Economic Recovery of the Archipelago, which the political forces and social and economic agents signed in the Canary Islands last May, and on the other, the national plan conceived for this purpose throughout the country," defended the regional deputy, during his speech in the plenary session of the regional Parliament.
Furthermore, Curbelo highlighted the work that has been carried out in the Congress of Deputies through the commission created to delve into this matter, focused especially on proposing actions aimed at improving health, economic reactivation or relations with the European Union (EU), among other tasks.
For the Gomero deputy, differentiated treatment with the Islands is essential, given their ultra-peripheral nature of Europe. Also, he emphasized, in the case of relations between the Islands and the State, the importance of defending the Economic and Fiscal Regime (REF), complying with the provisions of the Canarian Statute of Autonomy, the determining role of local administrations and the strength of permanent institutional dialogue.
“The measures articulated by the State are fundamental for the entire national territory, but in the case of the Canary Islands they are essential and have a special importance for our future, given the singularities of the Archipelago,” he highlighted. Likewise, he insisted on the need for all these actions planned by the central government to have sufficient financial means, independently of the funds provided by Europe.
