Mayor, José Chulvi, has wanted to convey a message of serenity, and has made it clear that we are in the first phase of this emergency situation, so the absolute priority is health and avoiding infections. However, he is fully aware of the economic collapse that this situation will cause in many families and for this reason - in collaboration with all political parties - ways are being studied to be able to support them when the time is right.

Chulvi has asked the population for responsibility, cooperation and to be permanently informed through official channels. #Stay at home
