The Sabadell City Council has defended its municipal grant system after the Ombudsman reported that some local entities were forced to return funds with added interest.

Officials in Sabadell stated that new measures have been implemented to streamline the application process. These changes aim to simplify the bureaucracy faced by non-profit organizations within the Vallès Occidental region.

"Improvements have been implemented in the grant procedures."
