Ongoing aid THE Junta allocated €2.210 mil‐ lion to programmes assisting the province’s vulnerable and those at risk from social exclu‐ sion. Rafael Pasamontes, re‐ gional government’s delegate for Equality, Social Policies and Conciliation, announced as‐ signments to the Red Cross (€1.112 million), Caritas (€666,745 ), Andalucia’s Anti‐ Poverty Network EAPN (€226,543) and the Food Bank (€203,162). This will directly benefit more than 55,000 peo‐ ple, Pasamontes said. “The government of An‐ dalucia is aware that the social crisis accompanying the Covid‐ 19 pandemic has not finished although vaccination has im‐ proved the health aspect,” the delegate said. “The Equality department is extending ongo‐ ing programmes whose re‐ sources will reach the people who most need them.” These programmes were a prime ex‐ ample of public‐private collab‐ oration during a social emer‐ gency that has completely overwhelmed the measures in place before the pandemic, Pasamontes pointed out.
