The State
grants Xàbia
21,000 euros
towards the
fight against
gender
violence
Xàbia will receive a transfer of 21,654
euros from the State in support of
actions to combat gender violence.
Through a resolution of the Ministry
of the Presidency, the Government
supports the development of the State
Pact on gender violence, approved
by the Congress of Deputies in
September 2017. And of the global
budget, a fifth has been reserved
to be directly managed by the City
Councils, considering them the basic
administration of the State, “the
closest to the citizenship and the one
that best knows the reality they govern
and, therefore, the best institution to
attack from the base all violence on the
woman”. The Councilor for Equality,
Montse Villaverde, has shown her
satisfaction at the fact that, at last, the
State demonstrates its commitment
to eradicate this scourge of society
by providing economic funds and
returning the powers of intervention
to the City Councils.
“It has been a claim for many years
and for this reason it is a source of joy
to see that this plan is finally endowed
economically,” said Villaverde.
