Sagunto council unanimously approves an institutional Europe Day declaration
Sagunto's municipal council unanimously approved an institutional declaration to mark Europe Day, at the ordinary plenary session held the previous afternoon.
The agreement, backed by all political groups, sets out the town's commitment to European values on the date that, every 9 May, celebrates the continent's integration. The unanimity matters on a topic that often sparks political debate and shows a common council position on the European project. For residents, the declaration is mainly symbolic and institutional, but it also recalls the weight of European funds and policies in local projects across the Camp de Morvedre district, from infrastructure to social programmes. Europe Day is celebrated every 9 May in memory of the 1950 Schuman Declaration, seen as the origin of the integration process that led to today's European Union (Wikipedia).
