Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The 2007 law on sustainable development of rural areas was to be carried out through a program (the PDRS Programa de Desarrollo Rural Sostenible (Sustainable Rural Development Program): the plan that implements the rural areas law and that this bill seeks to reactivate.). Work on the program started, but it was later left unexecuted, so the law had no practical effect.
  2. The bill would amend Article 5 of the law to require the Government to approve the program by Royal Decree within one year at the latest from the amendment taking effect.
  3. The program would be prepared in coordination with the Autonomous Communities, with prior reports from the Council for Rural Areas and the Board of Rural Development Associations, and would cover several years.
  4. According to the explanatory statement, launching the program would update, improve and continue the 130-measure plan against the demographic challenge, which ends next year.

Who it affects

  • The Government: It would be required to approve the program within one year at the latest.
  • The Autonomous Communities: They would take part in preparing the program and carry out the plans in their territories.
  • People living in rural areas: They would be the intended beneficiaries of the program's actions against depopulation.

Where does all this come from?

  • The data comes from the open files of the Congreso, the Senate and the BOE, unaltered.
  • Each deputy’s province is the one of their seat on the day of the vote.
  • We only say “passed” or “rejected” when the majority needed is certain; otherwise we say which side had more votes.
