La vicepresidenta Yolanda Díaz se reúne en València con 80 alcaldes de zonas afectadas y anuncia una segunda fase del plan, que se abre a entidades sin ánimo de lucro y ONG y permite perfiles más cualificados

Overview

  • Labor Minister Yolanda Díaz presented the new tranche in Valencia to roughly 80 mayors from areas affected by the October 2024 DANA storm.
  • Municipalities remain eligible, with non-profit organizations and NGOs now able to apply for funding under the program.
  • The scheme permits hiring of higher-skilled profiles in groups 1 and 2, including engineers, architects and consultancy roles.
  • The ministry says it will accelerate procedures to meet strict deadlines and improve the agility seen in the first call.
  • Reporting on the first phase diverges, with one account citing €35.5 million executed and 3,100 hires, while earlier figures referenced €50 million and 8,000 hires; the government also cites €16 billion mobilized for wider recovery.
