The City Council of Cebreros will officially ask the Government of Spain that this municipality of Ávila be chosen as the headquarters to house the Spanish Space Agency, a request that will be formalized through a letter that has been prepared this weekend. The letter, to which the Diario de Ávila has had access and reproduced by Ical, is addressed by the mayor, Pedro Muñoz, to the President of the Spanish State, Pedro Sánchez, and it defends how correct that decision would be in view of the fact that Adolfo Suárez’s hometown “meets the best conditions for that agency to be installed”, a decision that would also help, adds the mayor, to make “the discourse in favor of bringing services closer to the rural world” a reality.
Muñoz begins his request to Sánchez that “on several occasions he has spoken out in favor of carrying out a process of decentralization of existing and newly created State institutions and agencies, one of the priority objectives of this measure being to face the demographic challenge », to immediately remind him «of the visit he made this week to the NASA facilities in the town of Robledo de Chavela, where he expressed the decision of the Government of Spain to create a Spanish Space Agency, indicating that its headquarters would be outside the Madrid’s community”.
After this introduction, the Mayor of Cebreros affirms in his letter to the President of the Government that “to bet on the development of a first-rate scientific institution, such as the Spanish Space Agency, in the rural world, but with proximity to the capital of Spain and to the European Space Astronomy Center (ESAC), make Cebreros an ideal place”, a conviction that he assures that they support many “scientific and strategic arguments” that makes the town of Avila “the best candidate to host the Spanish Space Agency” .
