The local government explained that 400.000 euros could not be used because the grant required the service to start in the 2024-2025 academic year, but the centers opened in September 2025. An additional 100,000 euros were returned due to lower-than-expected construction costs.
The executive branch emphasized that these first two public nurseries in Tortosa were built in a record time of two and a half years, fulfilling a 40-year community demand.
