The political group pointed to a “lack of rigor” on the part of the local executive, as the items, planned in the budget, were presented without securing the necessary majority for their approval. This situation forced the session to be suspended for half an hour and, ultimately, led to the withdrawal of the proposals in the middle of the debate.
“"Esquerra and Junts brought 3 credits worth 5 million to the plenary without sufficient support. This is not consensual."
The municipal group criticized that this operation aimed to “tie the municipality to debt for more than 10 years.” Furthermore, they believe that this lack of foresight by the government “fosters antipolitics and the public's disconnection from what happens during plenary sessions.”
Despite the criticisms, the CUP expressed satisfaction with the approval of two motions they presented. One was in support of the USTEC-IAC union, defended by a councilor who recently took office, and the other was related to the advancement of feminism in Salt.
The group highlighted that they continue to bring proposals to the plenary that end up succeeding, such as the gradual internalization of cleaning services at the Salt City Council or the resumption of exploratory walks to rethink streets with a feminist perspective. This latter initiative, they added, was already included in the protocol for the prevention and addressing of sexist and LGTB-phobic violence approved in the 2023 plenary session, which had been stalled until now.
