The proposal, which sought to cover the investment through a credit supplement and long-term loans, was defeated with the opposing votes of PSC-Òdena Progrés, Avancem, and one non-attached councilor. The Council had previously approved works in this area in earlier phases.
The governing team argued that the City Council's current debt level, around 25-26%, would rise to between 30% and 32% with this operation, a level considered sustainable. Furthermore, a significant portion of the current debt will be paid off by June 2027, allowing the new loan to begin repayment thereafter.
The governing team has lamented the decision, which leaves the final phase of a project, requiring only a few meters to be completed, without the planned funding. The credit modification will be presented again at the December Council meeting with the aim of completing the work.
