La Frontera specific payments claims for employers and families affected by the seismic crisis

La Frontera specific payments claims for employers and families affected by the seismic crisis

 The difficult social and economic situation being experienced by the Municipality of La Frontera was made yesterday afternoon more evident if fitted with the helplessness felt by knowing the aid proposal made ​​public by the Government of the Canary Islands. An aid package which is not mentioned the municipality nor the entrepreneurs nor the delicate situation that is going through this area of ​​the island of El Hierro.

In his appearance, along with the 1 st Deputy Mayor, Regina Garcia, Mayor of La Frontera, David Cabrera of Leon declared to the media that "without minimizing the importance of aid to residents and businesses of La Restinga and the Isle the City of La Frontera wish to report forgetting that in them, is made of this Municipality. A municipality that has been supported between 4000 and 5000 earthquakes centered in the area, compounded in September and have triggered an alarming deterioration of the economic situation in the area, mass cancellations in apartments and hotels, business closures and the agony of others, with the closure of the tunnel for two consecutive times have been suffering the consequences of entrepreneurs, carriers and users, the businesses have been watching their clientele was reduced to the point that, today, many challenging the dismissal of employees or closing business. "

 David Cabrera de Leon asks the Executive to chair Paulino Rivero, for direct payments, payroll, companies, shippers, traders and families affected by this crisis.

If "La Restinga is dead," as a headline states, Frontera is dying as well. Its inhabitants have been evacuated (except the 53 neighbors of the points that yes indeed they were), but mostly neighbors and entrepreneurs feel so.

Regina Garcia, extended the invitation to visit the municipality and its streets to confirm this fact.

The aid offered by the Government of the Canary Islands are not sufficient to alleviate the situation by passing through the Valley of El Golfo therein is not mentioned, nor even to this area affected by seismic and eruptive phenomena. Grants for the entire island without specific payments to boost the economy of El Golfo: decline in tourism, road closures, rising transport and uncertainty, a combination not favorable for the survival of businesses and families in the municipality.

The tunnel Roquille held daily average traffic of 2,700 vehicles, a negligible figure when you consider that the census population on the island of 11,000 people (4,400 of them at Frontera). According to the Consistory, the use of the road to the summit cost each citizen an additional economic plus, not to mention the cost has been assumed for each of the companies the number of people not in bars, restaurants and shops, important data that have negative repercussions.

The City Council requested specific measures for the border, aid in accordance with reality you are living and which is offset downwards and almost no activity for that right now is going through its economy.
