Around 360,000 people with diverse abilities in Catalunya rely on the work of third sector entities to integrate into the labor market and gain personal autonomy. This work, which largely supplements the Administration's responsibility, is threatened by liquidity problems.
Concern has spread among Special Employment Centers (CETs) due to the delay in the arrival of subsidies promised by the Government. These grants are vital, as most foundations depend primarily on public resources to maintain their operations.
“"The delay in the payment of allowances is due to the new procedure for improving subsidy programs."
Despite the Generalitat's assertion that there are no budget cuts, the bureaucracy associated with this “new procedure” has created a serious treasury problem. To ensure that workers like Christian Azuaga (41 years old) and Roc Sumoy (54 years old), gardeners at the Parc del Francolí in Tarragona thanks to the Fundació Onada, receive their payroll, the entities must use bank policies to obtain immediate liquidity.
The Board of Trustees of Fundació Onada approved the 2026 budget this week, while hoping that President Salvador Illa's slogan, “el Govern de tothom” (the Government of everyone), translates into more agile and efficient administrative management for the third sector.
