The disinfection of schools to meet the Covid19 prevention protocols It is a competence of the Xunta, according to a legal report of the Deputation of A Coruña. Many mayors complain because before the beginning of the course they have assumed this work, which represents a significant extra cost for their municipal coffers. An example: the City Council of Culleredo has to dedicate 3,500 more hours than in other years to cleaning schools, which translates into an additional cost of 75,000 euros more per year, according to its mayor, José Ramón Rioboo, from the PSOE, in the program A Coruña thinks of Radio Coruña Cadena SER.
The meter and a half distance and the screens in the classrooms are, in the opinion of the mayor of Oleiros, Angel Garcia Seoane, from Alternativa dos Veciños, more measures for the gallery that do not guarantee the safety of students and teachers. Cleanliness is, in his opinion, the key.
The municipalities denounce that they do not have sufficient resources to face the consequences of the pandemic.
Faced with requests from the central government and Xunta for collaboration, the councils ask for a greater endowment of means because they say they are overwhelmed, as the mayor of Arteixo pointed out, Carlos Calvelo, of the Popular Party.
The mayors demand that the central Administration be able to dispose of at least a part of their surplus and savings from past years, after the Congress of Deputies overthrew the Government’s agreement with the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces.
