The mayor of Ibiza, Rafael Triguero, has sent a letter to the Minister of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory, Ángel Víctor Torres, to request precise instructions on the procedure to be followed by the Consistory after the Council of Ministers declared last November 25 the municipality as a Zone Seriously Affected by a Civil ProtectionEmergency (ZAEPC). The designation responds to the floods and other meteorological episodes that took place between August 26 and November 9, 2025.
In his letter, Triguero explains that the technical and legal services of the City Council have reviewed the regulatory precedents, especially the Royal Decree-Law 7/2024, which regulated the aid after the DANA in the fall of 2024. On that occasion, the Ministry of the Interior published three orders with standardized forms and models to request the compensations, a mechanism that the City Council considers essential to activate now the administrative operation.
Therefore, the mayor asked the Ministry for detailed information on the next steps to be taken by both the General State Administration and the Consistory itself, with the aim that the affected neighbors can access “as quickly as possible” to the financial aid provided for in the ZAEPC declaration, many of them urgent due to the magnitude of the damage.
In addition, Triguero claims clarification on the procedure to be followed by the City Council to benefit from the lines of support to cover the costs assumed by the local administration to cope with the effects of the DANA in the municipality.
Together with the letter, the City Council has sent to the Ministry the technical dossier with the detailed valuation of the damages caused by the storm. The document, previously sent to the Government Delegation in the Balearic Islands, estimates the economic impact of the damages caused between August and November at 29 million euros.
