A delegation of mayors from the Intermunicipal Community of the Leiria Region met in Brussels with MEP Marta Temido at the European Parliament, and with European Commissioner Maria Luísa Albuquerque at the European Commission. These meetings were considered of great importance for the Leiria Region.
The discussions focused on recovering from damage caused by storms, mobilizing the European Union Solidarity Fund (EUSF), strengthening insurance mechanisms for homes and industries, and creating better financing conditions for regional businesses. The mayors were also assured of continued collaboration and support for the region in addressing these challenges.
That same morning, the delegation participated in a session organized by Eurocities, dedicated to preparing municipalities for floods, heatwaves, and storms. The debate covered responsibilities, funding, and solutions for creating more resilient territories.
The Leiria Region continues to assert itself with European institutions, seeking to transform institutional dialogue into concrete solutions for its populations, businesses, and municipalities.
