The approval of the accounts, which represent a 35% increase compared to the previous year, was supported by the four groups of the governing team (ERC, PSC, UA, and APL) and the favorable vote of Junts. The two deputies from the Popular Party (PP) voted against the measure.
The President, Joan Talarn, highlighted that, for the first time, the budget incorporates a two-million-euro allocation aimed at addressing “meteorological catastrophes.” An additional 15 million euros have been assigned for efficiency improvements in water networks, the replacement of asbestos infrastructure, and the renovation of sports facilities across the region.
The Deputy for Technical Services, Cristina Moron, confirmed that the budget includes the necessary funding to unblock the long-awaited Eix de les Garrigues Altes project, a demand that had been requested by local councils for months.
“"Our opposing vote responds to the disagreement over what we still consider a low level of budget execution this 2025, standing at 60%."
Despite the opposition vote from the PP, the opposition leader, Jaume Ars (Junts), emphasized the capacity for dialogue and agreement demonstrated among political forces of different affiliations to move the accounts forward.
