The regulation introduces modifications to the urban planning, agrarian, and public housing laws of La Palma, allowing key aspects for recovery after volcanic events to be addressed.
One of the main novelties is the possibility of transferring the history of banana farms affected by the volcano, along with POSEI aid, for a period of two years. This aims to support those who wish to rebuild and maintain the essence of banana cultivation on the island.
Minister Nieves Lady Barreto explained that this measure, conceived in late 2023, is now being implemented to prevent speculation, as farmers have received compensation for their losses and a specific volcano PEPAC will be convened. "Today, if a farmer wants to sell, they will do so at a reasonable price, without the initial rush," she stated.
Barreto highlighted that the Canary Islands Government continuously adapts recovery regulations, recognizing it as a dynamic process that evolves and requires consideration of different realities to move forward.
