The Minister for the Presidency, Relations with the Courts and Democratic Memory, Félix Bolaños, has announced that the Council of Ministers has announced that the creation of a Commissioner for the Reconstruction of the island of La Palma will be approved this Tuesday, which will be chaired by the current Secretary of State for the Treasury, palmero Héctor Izquierdo.
“He knows the land and that he will be in charge of carrying out these procedures directly through the Commissioner,” said the minister.
Bolaños has anticipated that this Commissioner will dedicate himself to “being able to work with all the administrations to rebuild the island and that all lives can return to normality as soon as possible”.
In addition, the Council of Ministers will approve a new agreement that will provide an additional 7.4 million euros in aid for the El Paso City Council to rebuild municipal infrastructure.
At the headquarters of the Ombudsman, Ángel Gabilondo was given a report on all the actions that have been carried out on the island of La Palma since the eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano.
As explained by both Bolaños and the president of the Canary Islands and the president of the Cabildo, this text that they have presented to the Ombudsman is a report made within the Mixed Commission for the Reconstruction of the island that includes all the actions.
It is a living text, since, as they have said, the measures and actions are still being developed on the island of La Palma.
