It also claims to update the amounts to be paid in accordance with the current situation of inflation growth
MADRID, 16 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The PP tries to obtain the support of the rest of the parliamentary groups so that Congress urges the Government to accelerate and update the payment of compensation for natural catastrophes, alleging that delays in the processing and payment of aid generate “almost as much damage” as the catastrophe itself, especially in industrial, agricultural and livestock economic activities.
For this, it has registered a non-law proposal, which will be debated in the Territorial Policy Commission, in which it argues that the State Administration plays a “concurrent and subsidiary” role with respect to the different Public Administrations in situations that imply ” urgency”.
In the text, collected by Europa Press, the PP reviews the procedure for requesting this aid, which must be preceded by an agreement in the Council of Ministers that declares a catastrophic area or seriously affected by a civil protection emergency.
The agreement, which takes the form of a decree law due to its urgent nature, includes aid of different degrees – from coverage of the cost of damage to individuals to tax exemptions, such as the payment of IBI – but always with a “palliative” character “and, as the PP insists, with urgent consideration in a situation of serious difficulty for local corporations, individuals and legal entities.
For all these reasons, it considers that the Government must act “quickly, without unjustified delays and with criteria of fairness and justice”, which are “principles incompatible with the delays accumulated in recent years for the processing of grant granting files and for their payment”.
“The delays in these files are generating important problems for local corporations and affected citizens and great social unrest, a situation that is aggravated by the effects that uncontrolled inflation has on the increase in expenses that they need to make,” said the PP .
The ‘popular’ also want the Lower House to urge the Government to proceed immediately to pay the aid already approved, speed up the procedures for those pending approval and update the amounts to be paid in accordance with the current situation of “uncontrolled” growth “of inflation.
