| Juan José Cánovas, mayor of Totana | "A week begins that at the end, will ease the confinement of children under the age of 12.
It is the first step of a slow and hopefully safe, de-escalation, the speed of which will continue to depend on everyone and on responsibility to avoid the risk of what would be a rebound of the coronavirus that would lead us to a worse situation than the one lived up to now.Today more than ever -in spite of being repetitive-, it is very important to maintain discipline and not leave home.The incidence figures for the Pandemic in Totana (up to the data published on Friday) are quite good among the municipalities affected by COVID-19, with 14 positives of which 5 are cured.
Taking into account the difficulties due to the characteristics of a population that mainly works in the primary sector or an important sector of the elderly in which the risk of infection or complications is very important.The coordinated work of Health, Security Forces, City Council, Civil Protection or Humanitarian Collectives, such as Cáritas or the Red Cross, I understand has been decisive in the control and care of people in quarantine, social care for vulnerable families who have controlled the risks of contagion in a very important action in this crisis ...And there is no doubt that the responsibility and discipline of the vast majority of the population has been another fundamental element in these figures.
A percentage of 44 out of 100,000 inhabitants according to AI (Accumulated Incidence) in a population like ours, is an achievement worth taking into account.
Even in national terms.Today, the Totana City Council will enter the families of 92 children with the right to the dining room scholarships that the Autonomous Community has not yet entered us when it is their responsibility and we will, enabling a budget of 6000 euros, without doubting a second, to attend to basic needs in this childhood group of families with limited economic resources or at risk of exclusion.It is the importance of the income generated by the City Council to be solidary and cover needs in the midst of the Pandemic, such as the authorization of credits to locate another food distribution point that has been operating for two weeks and other extraordinary expenses that we are facing without thinking twice.
times.Our complaint to the President, López Miras, in the distribution of the first batch of millions that the Central Government has transferred to the City Councils through the Autonomous Community.
We have been assigned 130,729 euros to a town that is owned by inhabitants, around 200,000 euros, using parameters of the elderly population and other issues that ultimately harm Totana.
I consider my complaint very fair and I do not think it is a reason of doubt on the part of some "banker" in defense of our interests and our economy.
What is not fair, must be manifested.We are living through difficult times and it is understandable that we are nervous.
But in the order of priorities, the first I understand should be to face the Pandemic and minimize it as much as we can, managing and coordinating so that the exit is as soon as possible and in the best conditions.
Therefore, PEACE OF MIND, CALM AND LEAVE POLYTICHING FOR THE BEST OCCASION, is essential now, in my modest opinion.The economic measures must be accompanied, and in this, resources will not be spared, as we have been doing so far since the beginning of the Health Crisis.
What cannot be thought is that the solution will come exclusively from the City Council and it seems to be the only option in some of the measures that are proposed in the media, with accusations that I consider disproportionate and unfair based on respect for the freedom of who publishes them.
If we understand that THE CITY HALL IS THE HOUSE OF EVERYONE and it will also come out seriously damaged (more than it was) from this situation and we should take it into account if we analyze it seriously.The Autonomous Community must contribute as the State to our recovery.
The recovery of our economy and also the social one.
Any proposal to demand contributions from the Autonomous Community that we have not even received the 6000 euros of the dining room scholarships and have had to advance them? And this is just a small example.It would not hurt either, to speak of the Bank that received very recently, more than 60,000 million euros to rescue banks and that came out of the pocket of Spanish men and women.
Now we have to rescue people, including freelancers, companies, workers ...
Is it time for those millions to return to the "working capital"? I think so.Someone will think that these national and autonomous things are not the municipal competence.
But in Totana there are Banks and 33,000 people, who pay their taxes at all levels, who suffered and continue to suffer the 2008 financial crisis.
It would be fair to take it into account now so that they do not always pay the same.
Including freelancers, merchants, entrepreneurs, workers, pensioners ...We must think that one of the greatest complications to face the Pandemic that we suffer has been the weakness of our Public Health System.
A very serious situation that has been overcome by great professionalism, with fearlessness and serious risk to their lives of doctors, nurses, cleaners.
, maintenance, scientists, researchers ...Until not long ago, the "fashion" was that Public Health took little less than a very expensive "luxury item" to finance with everyone's taxes.
Even some political figures advocated his disappearance and did not receive few votes.
I do not think we should forget this lesson, as the Public Services of Education, Pensions, Dependency ...In what corresponds to the City of Totana and specifically to the Mayor, within the possibilities, we will do what we have to do in support of our productive fabric very damaged (and what remains) by the Health, Economic and Social Crisis that affects and It will affect the society of Totanera as a whole.I am convinced that with a principle of SOLIDARITY AND FRATERNITY, we will move forward, greatly improving our attitudes towards the public.
If we want the State to protect and support us (Government, Autonomous Community or City Council) we must understand and be clear that it is everyone's business.We continue in the fight, with the very strong conviction that FROM THIS, WE LEAVE.BETTER AND MORE STRENGTHENED IN THE IMPORTANT.Good morning and let's fight the coronavirus.
WE ARE GOING TO OVERCOME, DOES ANYONE DOUBT IT?Please...#Stay at home"Juan José Cánovas, Mayor of Totana
