Only the government approves Dénia's 2024 budgets, which PP and Vox have opposed

February 09 from 2024 - 15: 06

This Friday the municipal government of Dénia (PSPV-Compromís) has approved the 2024 budgets, despite the vote against Vox and PP and abstention from Gent of Dénia. The amount this year amounts to 74.752.548,20 euros, 5% more than in 2023.

From the PP, José Antonio Cristóbal has expressed his discontent with the fact that a large part of the investments are inherited year after year, without materializing. He, too, has not convinced the popular people about the money allocated to Tourism, since it represents a minuscule percentage of the total.

Likewise, the training disapproves that in 2024 31% less will be used than last year in maintenance of public roads or 32% less in the protection of heritage, as well as "only 2,5% (of the total) to beaches".

"The income is to serve the citizens," mentioned Cristóbal, who has criticized that the Dénia government "is the most expensive in history", in reference to the number of councilors released.

From the government, the mayor himself, Vicent Grimalt, has responded alluding to the fact that "it is the most expensive government in history" because there is more income to manage, he maintains, and despite this they have contributed to actions such as lowering public debt and has achieved greater subsidies from Europe. In this sense, he has returned the ball by calling the opposition "the most expensive in history" because "in seven months they have not presented a single motion" despite the fact that their salaries have increased in recent years.

It has not been the only clash between the mayor and the main opposition force, since Cristóbal has accused the government of presenting the budgets after the deadline, to which Grimalt has responded that there is no such deadline, and that, in fact, the Provincial Council, led by the PP, presented its budgets this Wednesday.

From "demagogy" and "pan-Catalanism" to "realism"

For his part, Félix Redondo, spokesperson for Vox, has described these budgets as "demagogues" and "insufficient." Redondo has asked for more aid for training in hospitality and investment in parties "beyond Fallas and Moors and Christians", as in Bous a la Mar. Furthermore, he has criticized the fact that part of the funds are allocated to aid to "promote pan-Catalanism" or that allocated to the Department of Equality.

The government has responded to the language issue by stating that educational powers are not municipal and Rafa Carrió, vice mayor and councilor of the Linguistic Normalization area, has called Redondo "anti-Spanish" for being against "a language of Spain" and, therefore, "the Constitution and the Statute of Autonomy", recommended to the Vox councilor to read Vicent Andrés Estellés and Maria Ibars so that he "values ​​the Valencian language." The Councilor for Equality and Diversity, Javier ScottoLikewise, he added that 50% of the money directed to Equality is aid and represents "only 0,3% of the total budget."

Gent de Dénia, through its spokesperson, mario vidal, has stated that "investments in favor of citizens should be improved", but in 2024 the budget seemed "more realistic" than last year, especially in terms of income forecast.

    More than expensive, which it is. I would say the most useless government in the history of Dénia.

  2. NinoP says:

    A government that, in a population of barely 50 inhabitants, has a personnel expense of more than 36% of its budget (more than 25 million), a budget that increases almost 5% over the previous year, should be made to look at it. Duplicate charges? Unnecessary staff? Exorbitant size of staff?, Out of the ordinary salaries?... in short, shameful.
    By the way, Mr. Carrió, talking about the Constitution and Statute does not go well for you being a defender of the “Valencia Country”, a name banished within our Statute and unconstitutional.

    • Dani says:

      NinoP, the Statute speaks in its preamble of “Pais Valenciá”, do not be illiterate

        It is in the first paragraph of the Statute, in fact

    Indeed, Vox is more anti-Spanish than anyone else, because he does not love Spain as a rich and diverse country, but rather he wants it as black and white, all of the no-do. We already live in Spain in color
