Córdoba, Silla, Puçol and Alcantarilla Advance 2026 Budgets as Xàtiva Plan Clears Council

Governing majorities prioritize social programs with fiscal caution to navigate uncertainty over long contracts and EU‑funded projects.

Overview

  • Córdoba’s consolidated 2026 budget nears €600 million after passage by the PP’s absolute majority with seven PP amendments, moving to official publication and a 15‑day public hearing before final approval.
  • Silla approved a €21.39 million plan with all municipal taxes frozen, €3.14 million for investments including digital water meters, and continued debt amortization under a PSOE majority.
  • Puçol adopted a record €21.86 million budget, up 8.38% year over year, with more than €14 million in 2026 investments backed by European and provincial funds, plus programs for mental health and social housing.
  • Alcantarilla granted initial approval to a €38.5 million budget, down 1.44% by design due to the unresolved 25‑year water contract tender, freezing key taxes, projecting debt reduction, and incorporating an €11 million EU grant with execution milestones through March 2027.
  • Xàtiva passed a €39.63 million budget with PSPV‑PSOE and Xàtiva Unida votes, allocating €5.5 million for investments largely via borrowing, as PP and Vox opposed the plan.
