The governing team of Palamós, led by Mayor Maria Puig, reviewed the first four months of the mandate, highlighting the approval of the budget for 2026.

Mayor Maria Puig and Deputy Mayor Raquel Gallego appeared jointly to underscore mutual trust and the commitment to ensure stability and transparency until the end of the mandate. The central point of the appearance was the approval of the budget for 2026, which keeps local taxes frozen.
These accounts will allow a significant increase in essential services such as cleaning, gardening, cultural offerings, and housing policies. According to the government, waste collection has been reinforced, new service time slots have been incorporated, and support for local entities and the condition of municipal facilities have improved.

The goal is to add nearly 60 social rental homes by 2028, in addition to finalizing the use-transfer cooperative.

Among the strategic projects, the Passeig del Mar promenade work is progressing, with the first phase expected to finish by the end of March, aiming to open it for Easter Week with a more accessible and pedestrian-friendly design. Work on the second phase is already underway. The reopening of the renovated municipal market is also scheduled for March, after maintaining activity in a provisional space.
Regarding security, the municipal government advocates an active strategy against recidivism and anti-social behavior. They have announced the intention to expand the Local Police staff, improve their equipment, and continue deploying security cameras in risk areas.
