The economic document, which was approved during the extraordinary plenary session on Tuesday evening, includes an allocation of nearly 3 million euros earmarked for investments. One of the most notable measures is the decision to keep municipal taxes and fees frozen for the next fiscal year. The budget received support from the governing team, consisting of Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC) and the Partit dels Socialistes de Catalunya (PSC).
“"This is a continuous, cowardly, and clarifying budget. Furthermore, we doubt that the Government actually prepared the budget."
Key investments include the second phase of the Passeig del Mar, allocated approximately 700,000 euros. Other planned initiatives involve constructing a civil ceremony hall at the cemetery, a street and sidewalk paving plan, and the acquisition of municipal premises. Further actions include installing security cameras, expanding playground equipment, and improving landscaped areas.
The local government, through the Councillor for Economic Services, Eduard Riera, argued that the document aims to be inclusive and foster an active economy capable of creating and maintaining stable employment while strengthening citizen services. Despite the executive's support and the abstention of Junts per Catalunya, opposition groups Som-hi, Candidatura d’Unitat Popular (CUP), and Vox voted against the proposal. The CUP spokesperson, Alexandre Weltz, criticized the budget for shifting towards the right to secure Junts' abstention.
