The president of the Canary Islands Government, Ángel Víctor Torres, has announced in Parliament this morning that the 1.14 billion euros of aid from the state fund for direct aid will arrive in ten days, once the agreement is signed.
This was in response to a question from the spokesman for the Gomera Socialist Group (ASG), Casimiro Curbelo, about the status of the money for SMEs and the self-employed.
The president indicated that the latest Canary Islands proposal has already been sent to the Central Government and announced that "it is a matter of hours and days before the agreement for the transfer of this aid is signed, sealed and delivered."
Torres pointed out that the forecast is for this agreement to be signed today, and explained that once it is signed, the funds will reach the Canary Islands in ten days time. He added that from there an urgent decree law will be activated, which is already being worked on, to be able to bring these funds to SMEs and the self-employed as soon as possible, so that every cent reaches companies that need it.
Curbelo said that these resources are "urgent", since he considers that "there is no other way out than direct aid until there is a recovery for mobility and being able to use the hotel industry to its full capacity."
TORRES IS THE POLITICIAN WITH THE BEST REPUTATION IN SPAIN:
The president of the Canary Islands, is the political leader with the best reputation in the whole of Spain according to the results of a study carried out by Thinking Heads that has taken into account 5 national leaders, the 17 regional presidents and 6 municipal councillors , those of Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Zaragoza and Bilbao.
After the president of the Canary Islands, the best valued in the context of the pandemic are the presidents of Aragon, Javier Lambán, and of Asturias, Adrián Barbón. The next best valued regional president is that of Galicia, Alberto Núñez Feijóo.
The study points out that, in general, reputation is low, given that of the 28 leaders analyzed only half achieve a minimum reputational level and only the president of the Canary Islands, with 60.3 points, has what is considered a good reputation, i.e. above 60 points, but it also indicates that the best valued are the regional leaders (50.5 points) and the mayors (50).
