“You have to open several debates and the first has to do with the weather forecast and the ads in the area. To all the mayors what came to them was an orange warning. The reality is that it has been much more,” said Azcón this noon.

“The obvious thing is that the information that was given is orange and what there was is much more than if a red alarm had been given. Hydrological studies in the basins and in the channels show that there is a lot of work to do. Water thrombas such as the ones we have seen have to make reconsider and open a debate about the importance of hydrological studies in all municipalities,” said the Aragon president.

Numerous damage and urgency decisions

This Monday, President Azcón recalled that the damage “is very large” and infrastructure “are tremendously harmed.” That is why he has assured that they will work as quickly as possible and decisions will be made “for urgency”. Without going any further, on the morning of this June 16 he has already assured that this week a decree that encompasses most of the necessary aids will be taken to the Governing Council.

“From Saturday, work is being declared to declare the catastrophic emergency zone. It is absolutely necessary and unquestionable. The government of Spain You have to declare the catastrophe zone as soon as possible so that the aid can be processed, “he claimed the central government.” We are going to make decisions for urgency but many of the problems we have in communications and health equipment will not be able to solve them today for tomorrow, “he said.

“The municipalities no longer have problems with energy supply but with water. All the necessary works will be hired by urgency because the water supply, with the road arrangement, is one of the priorities. It is evident that the coordination between institutions is very important,” he continued.

At the same time, and after being questioned by the media, the president has ruled out the possibility of deploying the UME since the work at this time is cleaning. As he said, “they no longer have to help help” and that is why they will be the municipalities and the Government of Aragon, those in charge of dealing with the emergency situation.

“We are going to reinforce cleaning tasks. Only the work of de -struggling and that the material that is accumulated in these villages can take to the landfills will mean a few days of work. All the work of de -struggle will not be able to do the neighbors. Logically we want that help to arrive as soon as possible and we will also hire private means,” Azcón has developed.

CAUZ CLEANING

At the same time, the leader of the DGA has echoed one of the main demands of the municipalities that the parliamentary group has also spoken on Monday Vox: Cleaning the rivers. “They are asking the Che (the municipalities) to do works and clean. That at least they can make defenses in their municipalities. Once again we have to open a debate that is not new,” said Azcón.

Finally, Azcón, that when he arrives in the area he has been increasing by a neighbor, has removed iron from the matter, ensuring that it is “understanding” time since anyone in that place would be outraged. “No reproach. I understand it as a need for help. Neighbors have shouted for help and from administrations we have to listen to them and act accordingly. They are not alone and the most important thing they will ask us is that we do not forget them,” said the Aragonese president.
