Background information

Government of Aragon, political parties, CEPYME Aragón, CEOE Aragón, UGT Aragón, CCOO Aragón and the Aragonese Federation of Municipalities, Counties and Provinces (FAMCP) have signed the Aragonese Strategy for Economic and Social Recovery, a white paper with 273 Consensual proposals to face the crisis resulting from the coronavirus. The proposed measures are divided into four blocks - recovery of the territory, public policies, the productive economy and employment matters - and an annex is also included with proposals that will be transferred to the Government of Spain.

Content of measure

The main objective is to launch an Economic Recovery Program and Social in Aragon to combat the effects of social and economic crises caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This initiative helps define the position of Aragon with respect to the policies that from other instances, such as the Government of Spain or the European Union are going to boost. The President of the government of Aragon, Javier Lambán, promised to transfer the Government of Spain and other interdependent entities, solutions and claims of society Aragonese present in this document and in its annexes. Get this degree of Consensus is of enormous value, as good governance makes us stronger, and makes it possible for Aragon to come out of these crises earlier than other regions of our environment.
