| And he asks about the municipalities that were already dragging a difficult economic situation before the pandemic | The mayor, Juan José Cánovas, spoke today at the weekly coordination meeting of mayors with the president of the Autonomous Community, Fernando López Miras, the vice president Isabel Franco, and the Minister of Health Manuel Villegas, whose team congratulates and thanks the work carried out during this health and social crisis by COVID-19.The first mayor has taken the opportunity to record his concern about the unequal distribution of aid to the City Council by the Government of Spain, in aid to cover social needs caused by the coronavirus health crisis in this municipality, which has amounted to 130,729 euros.The councilor regretted that in the granting of this aid to Totana, the treatment that corresponds to Totana has not been received, possibly due to the population reality that it represents, as well as the number of unrecognized immigrants and even illegal citizens and to whom Services Social must cover them equally.Cánovas has regretted this situation and has sent a message of concern for the distribution assigned to this municipality to meet all the basic needs in this area.He has also asked about the specific budget that the regional government is going to assign to this municipality, given the difficult economic and financial situation that the municipal coffers were already dragging before the pandemic; and given that it is not even authorized to spend the 2.3 million euros of surplus in 2019.
