Since the incorporation to the European community started in the 80s and the cohesion fund in the 90s, there has not been such an important movement of funds and, all this, is also limited due to the law on climate change and the measures adopted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

 These are important points contained in RDL 30/2020: 

1. The adoption of instruments to support Member States’ efforts to recover, repair the damage and emerge stronger from the crisis.
2. The adoption of measures to boost private investment and support companies in difficulty.
3. Reinforcing key EU programmes to learn the lessons of the crisis, make the single market stronger and more resilient and accelerate the double green and digital transition.

Anonymous whistleblowing channels mandatory from 2019 in which Viadenuncia is a pioneer. 

As a result of the pandemic and the paralysis of the world for this reason, the initiatives regarding anonymous reporting have lost 2 years in their execution and implementation, during which time Viadenuncia has been working on their implementation in different administrations. 

By the end of 2021, all public administrations as well as small companies should have these independently managed complaint mailboxes, as well as anti-corruption plans allowing complaints to be handled anonymously.
