Overview
- The Council of Ministers approved the decree on Feb. 3 establishing the intergovernmental commission under the Ministry of Territorial Policy.
- The commission will hold its constitutive session on Feb. 18 to begin setting priorities informed by the hardest‑hit municipalities.
- The body will be co-chaired by Minister Ángel Víctor Torres and Generalitat president Juanfran Pérez Llorca, with three state members, three regional members, the Valencia provincial chief Vicent Mompó, and the mayors of 75 affected towns.
- Its remit includes planning and coordinating recovery works, overseeing aid management, proposing measures to speed benefits, and assuming statutory coordination functions to avoid duplicating structures.
- The move follows a December pledge and comes about 15 months after the storm, as the Generalitat cites very low local execution of €1.745 billion in transfers and seeks to accelerate municipal repairs.
