The Director General of Commerce and Consumption, Gabriel Alén, participated today in Praza de España in A Coruña at the awards ceremony for the 'Merca no teu comercio' campaign. This initiative, part of the collaboration between the Xunta and the Galician Federation of Commerce, aims to boost local consumption and has already reached over fifty merchant associations in various towns without shopping centers.
In the province of A Coruña, the campaign is active in the municipalities of Oleiros and Sada. Until October 15, participating customers can win 20 gift cards worth 50 euros.
In other parts of Galicia, the campaign is currently running in neighborhoods of the city of Lugo, in the Ourense municipality of Barbadás, and in the Pontevedra towns of Arbo, As Neves, and Salvaterra de Miño.
To participate, purchases must be registered on the website www.mercanoteucomercio.com. Merchants can also register purchases, doubling the customer's chances of winning.
