The Consistory approves the budgets in an extraordinary session
Last Monday, the Consistory gave the green light to the budgets for this year in an extraordinary plenary session. The financial items have been resolved differently compared to previous years, with an assessment of 10 votes in favor, 2 abstentions and 8 against.
Delay in the preparation of budgets
Oriol Bossa, mayor of Sant Feliu, justified the delay in drawing up the budgets, citing an extraordinarily uncertain economic context. This uncertainty has led to many local administrations having to extend the 2022 budgets instead of creating new ones.
Analysis of expenses and income
The financial situation has been characterized by an extraordinarily high deficit of 5 million euros, motivated by various factors such as the increase in unforeseen expenses and the decrease in income.
Forecasts and distribution of matches
A 5.95% increase in income is expected, with expenses estimated at 1,098.98 euros per inhabitant. The main items will be distributed differently, with reductions in some areas and increases in others such as social rights.
Changes in the Catalog of jobs
An update of the Catalog of jobs has been approved, with an increase in the number of places in the workforce. This decision was explained in detail by the Councilor for Organization and Personnel, Manel Martínez.
Positions of the opposition
Several opposition councilors expressed their positions against the approval of the budgets, highlighting aspects such as municipal ordinances, undisclosed expenses and other detected anomalies.
Reactions and final ratings
Different spokespersons expressed positive and negative assessments regarding the budgets, highlighting aspects such as cuts, subsidies, and other issues pending resolution.
