Government requests 5.3 billion euros for storm damage
The government has submitted a request to the European Union Solidarity Fund for over 5.3 billion euros to cover damages caused by seven consecutive storms between January and February. The funds are intended for the reconstruction of public infrastructure and emergency interventions, particularly in the Central region.
The European Union Solidarity Fund (Fundo de Solidariedade da União Europeia) is a financial mechanism designed to help member states respond to major natural disasters. It provides emergency aid to cover costs for essential public infrastructure, emergency operations, and the cleanup of disaster-stricken areas.
