Latest news on the La Palma volcano
SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Oct 5 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The President of the Government of the Canary Islands, Ángel Víctor Torres, has valued this Tuesday the new aid package approved by the central Government for almost 214 million for those affected by the volcanic eruption on La Palma and specified that the compensation of 30,000 euros per home is compatible with other aids.
In a statement released by the Executive, it has indicated that the amount doubles the one that existed before –15,000 euros – and “adds” to those that may receive those affected by insurance, in the aid of household goods of 10.5 millions of the State or those who receive another home if they have lost their only property.
Torres has also highlighted that the new royal decree of the Government includes a specific employment plan for La Palma endowed with 63 million since there are families that “have lost” all their economic resources when their professional activity is affected.
The president has also advanced that this Thursday a Visocan board of directors will be held to acquire the first homes on La Palma – about twenty – for people affected by the volcanic eruption.
