El Javea Town Hall has granted a total of 427.270 euros in direct aid within the "Recuperem Xàbia" plan, aimed at the economic reactivation of the self-employed and SMEs with activities affected by the Covid restrictions.
As explained by the councilor for the Treasury, Ximo Segarra, the commission has evaluated a total of 141 applications received, approving 91 of them. The beneficiaries will receive between 2.000 and 8.000 euros according to justified expenses.
As for the applications rejected for not meeting the requirements, the majority are motivated by not having the fiscal domicile in Xàbia or by having previously granted other aid.
Segarra has pointed out that 427.000 of the 600.000 euros budgeted have been allocated, which reflects the reception that this complementary line launched by the City Council has had and the work carried out by both companies and municipal workers when presenting and reviewing documentation .
The mayor has advanced that once the resolution is published on the notice board, the payment of the aid will be made effective next week.
"Recuperem Xàbia", complementary to the Paréntesis plan of the Generalitat (for which another 267.000 euros in aid have also been recently granted), aimed to send subsidies to the self-employed and SMEs of sectors affected by the sanitary restrictions applied to contain the Covid -especially linked to the celebrations- and that they had not been able to benefit from the regional line.
Activities such as beauty salons, hairdressers, sewing workshops, make-up artists and beauticians, florists, leather crafts, leather goods, manufacture of textile articles for the home and restoration, art galleries, retail trade in clothing, headdresses, perfumery, kitchenware, household items or toys, teaching staff of various teachings, massage therapists and teaching academies. Or SMEs with more than 10 workers linked to tourism, sports or cultural sectors.
Since Covid 19 broke out, the Xàbia City Council has mobilized all its resources to respond to both health and social levels and economic reactivation. In the different lines of direct aid (100% municipal to companies or freelancers with affected activities, to new freelancers and in plans co-financed with the Generalitat or the Provincial Government), the Consistory has allocated more than 4 million euros, to which we must add exemption from fees, social employment plans and social benefits. In total, the amount dedicated to recovering the municipality from the impact of Covid is around 12 million euros.
The day they treat the workers the same will be the milk
