From the City Council we are making a huge economic effort to combat the consequences of the coronavirus.
Social benefits have skyrocketed, doubling in recent months; we have intensified cleaning throughout the municipality; Specific funds have been set up to combat COVID, ”said the mayor of Murcia this morning, after attending the debate for the validation of the Decree on the transfer of the remnants of the municipalities, which was overthrown by a parliamentary majority this morning in a historic vote in the Congress of Deputies.During the meeting, which was attended by the mayors of the large Spanish cities, the Murcian councilor pointed out that "all the efforts have led to a budget increase at times in which the collection is logically suffering from the economic consequences of the coronavirus."In addition to the aforementioned measures, the City Council has intensified cleaning in the environments of hospitals, outpatient clinics, supermarkets, pharmacies, nursing homes, and inside schools; It has developed a specific line of aid to small and medium-sized companies; it has made adjustments to markets, food markets and street markets; and it has reinforced security with the Local Police and Civil Protection, among other actions, to combat the crisis caused by the coronavirus."The coronavirus does not discriminate by place of birth"Likewise, the mayor of Murcia has indicated that “it seems to me inadmissible, intolerable, absolutely absurd and foolish that some Spaniards are discriminated against for being born in a place.
