Overview

  • The PP and Vox reached a last-minute agreement to allocate €2 million for collaboration agreements aimed at repatriating unaccompanied migrant minors to their countries of origin.
  • The budget also includes €100,000 for medical age-verification tests on minors under regional guardianship, to be conducted at three Valencian hospitals.
  • A €760,000 funding cut was imposed on the Acadèmia Valenciana de la Llengua, reducing its budget to €2.2 million, with impacts on cultural and linguistic initiatives.
  • Earlier in the week, a Vox proposal for €5.5 million to return former tutored migrants was blocked by the PP, redirecting those funds to socio-laboral integration in origin countries.
  • The 2025 Valencian budget is set for plenary approval next Thursday, solidifying the PP-Vox alliance and reflecting broader national debates on migration and cultural policies.
