Núria Maynou, head of the ERC opposition in the Granollers City Council, expressed her disagreement with the 2026 Budget, despite the quantitative increase, arguing that it prioritizes maintenance after “many years” of insufficient investment in the city's daily life. This lack of consistent policy is one of the main reasons why the party did not support the accounts.
“"We need a deep reflection on what city model we want."
The councilor also denounced that the municipal government did not respect specific agreements reached during budget negotiations, such as increasing the staff of early childhood education technicians in the three municipal nurseries. Beyond the figures, Maynou questioned the management model, especially the role of the general coordinator, which she considers an exhausted structure lacking strategic vision.
Regarding major projects, Maynou welcomed the renaturalization of the river but regretted that the reform of Avinguda Sant Esteve is “disconnected” from the rest of the city, demonstrating a lack of global vision in mobility. She insisted on the need for a strong public transport network, park-and-ride facilities, and continuous, safe bike lanes.
“"Granollers has never had [public residences], and that is very serious."
Finally, the ERC leader was highly critical of housing management, pointing out that, despite announcements of subsidized housing units, the quantity is “clearly insufficient” to meet the city's needs. She also criticized the lack of public residences for the elderly, a situation she deems “very serious” and which requires a clear political commitment to guarantee dignified old age as a public service.
