Twinning and tribute
This day, which was born to promote twinning between the different municipalities of Zamora, has also served as a tribute to up to 90 deceased former mayors and those who left office after the last municipal elections.
Javier Faúndez, president of the Provincial Council of Zamora, wanted to highlight the work of the councils as entities that “structure the territory and offer essential support to the municipalities” also claiming improvements in infrastructure to ensure a better future for the province.
Faúndez also recalled the vital role played daily by the mayors of the 248 municipalities that make up the provincial map, assuring that “Zamora will be what the people of Zamora want it to be”.
Finally, the Tierras de Zamora Awards were also presented to outstanding entrepreneurs, associations, athletes and promoters of local cultural heritage.
