First public appearance of the new vice president for reconstruction, Lieutenant General José Gan Pampols, who has presented the action plan to recover normality in the area affected by DANA. Gan Pampols has explained the situation of everything in the environment and asked about the deadlines to start seeing results. He has avoided offering specific dates by commenting that “until there is a defined program that has a series of points, it is impossible to set a deadline and the same with the budget”, but has stated that “whatever it costs, it has to be paid”.
Regarding the controversy over his salary, given that the Valencian Government has eliminated the salary limit that existed until now by which no position could earn more than the president Carlos Mazón, he commented that at no time has he asked for “a salary to come here nor has it negotiated any remuneration” and has assured that the legal modification that has been made has been done “on different occasions to adapt the remuneration of personnel who pass from one administration to another, it is what is considered in the destination administration what has right”. Furthermore, he added: “I don’t know what I’m going to perceive, they’ll tell me, it’s not my problem, my problem is the people I’m addressing, those affected, who are the center of gravity.”
The vice president has assured that “if I had had to decide I would have looked for a better opportunity” and has considered that there has been “a communication error with my salary, it is not the first time that this measure has been taken, it is the renewal of a measure that was It has been producing over time” and has assured that it will not charge “like when it was active in any way; The administration of the State has the civil and the military part, they only have the three-year periods in common, it is the only point of comparison, I have no complements.” Gan Pampols has explained that when they called him they asked him to present “the last active payroll, but” to collect the trienniums, of which I think I have fifteen.
Regarding the priorities in his management in the area most affected by DANA, he explained: “Resolve the problem for people by accelerating the solutions as much as possible. On the scale of priorities, survival comes first, then economic, food and health security. Thirdly, development, that is, training, the opening of schools and universities; the collectors, that people with disabilities can enter and leave the house, that development occurs, in the industrial estates, work. In short, offering solutions so that if a business cannot be reopened, another can be opened. The self-employed are the most vulnerable, they must also be prioritized, always people first.”
In this regard, he has assured that when the general plan and the programs that depend on each area are “everything in progress and the milestones have been met” he will leave office: “When the emergency ends, this vice presidency will disappear because this is a state of exception.” .
Gan Pampols has also spoken about climate change and the review of emergency protocols, which he considers did not work. Regarding the first question, he has flatly stated that, without going into whether it is a “cyclical or punctual thing because it is a scientific debate”, he understands that “if there is climate change, there is a greater number of catastrophic phenomena and the temperature of evil is rising.” .
And regarding the emergency protocols, he commented that the alerts did not work: “One thing is the impact and another is the loss of lives that could have been saved, not all, but some could have been saved. A prevention plan means that it is updated, innovation is applied and tested, what is not tested does not work. Furthermore, it is based on procedures, people, and a transparent decision-making system so that there is no doubt about what needs to be done.”
