The General Territorial Coordination Commission, chaired by the Presidency Councilor, Luis Miguel González Gago, met today with the aim of understanding and planning successive actions in two specific areas: the INFOCAL Plan, approved by the Castilla y León Government by Decree in March, and the promotion of the Carné 60 program.
In the first point, the Councilor for Environment, Housing, and Regional Planning, Juan Carlos Suárez-Quiñones, shared with the territorial delegates the details of the INFOCAL Plan, as well as the Annual Plan for Prevention, Surveillance, and Extinguishing of Forest Fires for 2025 and the modifications in the structure and resources of the Operation. The goal is to maximize coordination and effectiveness, given the proximity of the start of the High Fire Risk Season, which begins on June 12.
On the other hand, the Secretary General of the Department of Family and Equal Opportunities, Carlos Raúl de Pablos, has agreed with the territorial delegates to hold meetings with trade and business associations in each of the provinces to promote collaboration with businesses, establishments, and companies through the Carné 60 program. This initiative by the Castilla y León Government offers discounts and benefits to people over 60 years old in various commercial, cultural, and sports establishments in the Community. Currently, more than 350,000 people in Castilla y León have this card.
The General Territorial Coordination Commission is a body designed to achieve the effective implementation of the government’s actions in Castilla y León. The regular meetings of this Commission help coordinate public policies approved by the regional government throughout the Community. The participation of government representatives in the nine provinces is essential to achieve the optimal level of government action coordination, with the conviction that these representatives are the ones who best know the needs of the citizens due to their proximity to them.
