This Monday “we are going to proceed with the opening of the different offices that we are going to open in the different municipalities with personnel that have been trained. Today there will be ten municipalities, but this week we will increase them so that there is direct attention, close attention and that all requests can be collected,” he pointed out to the media.
“I think it is a fundamental week also for the improvement of the infrastructure and connectivity of Valencia and also with the rest of the Spanish territory,” he added, to also assess the works that are being done in the affected municipalities and the resumption, this week, of the high-speed rail service between Madrid and Valencia. He recalled that the N-330 and the A-7 will also open.

Asked for an assessment of Saturday’s demonstration in which Mazón’s resignation was demanded, he underlined his respect for the right to demonstrate, but stressed that “at this time all the efforts of the Government of Spain are focused on reconstruction, giving the dignity that the people who have lost their lives deserve, comfort to their families and proceed with the reconstruction that is being done in parallel.” “There will be time ahead for many demonstrations of different kinds and also for political positions,” he said.
