Overview

• The Consello de Contas report highlights Cangas's €73.41 per capita social spending in 2023, ranking it 277th out of 313 Galician municipalities.
• Cangas's spending is significantly lower than neighboring towns like Bueu (€84.14) and Moaña (€87.02), despite being the 17th largest municipality in Galicia by population.
• The Partido Popular (PP) criticizes the BNG-led government for inadequate support for vulnerable groups, citing unlicensed home assistance services and delayed emergency housing projects.
• The local government attributes the challenges to regional delays in aid distribution, legacy debts, and insists its impact will be clearer in the 2025 budget assessment.
• Missed opportunities for regional and EU aid programs, including youth volunteering and strategic sector training funds, add to the criticism of municipal management.
