Overview

• City leaders propose a 2.7% across-the-board rise with a 5.8% increase in the waste fee and new income bands that lift some home-help hourly rates by roughly two-thirds to more than four-fifths.
• EH Bildu offers a 2.2% general rise, rejects the extra waste charge and the higher elderly-service prices, and warns against raising bills before a reworked €355 million waste contract is awarded.
• Elkarrekin Podemos seeks to limit the overall increase to 1% with 17 amendments, including a commercial door-to-door collection model, a new shop tariff, and organic-waste bonuses of 15% plus an extra 5% via Reutilizagune.
• Amendments are due today and will be debated Wednesday, launching a compressed negotiation the government cannot advance without at least one opposition partner.
• City officials are preparing an app to show residents their organic-bin openings toward a 10% discount after only 2.3% of households qualified this year, while the Social Council views a 2.7% rise as consistent with inflation.
