The Popular and Vox parliamentary groups, which support the coalition Executive in Castilla y León, have jointly registered 31 partial amendments to the General Budget Bills of the Community for 2027 and to the Law on Tax, Financial and Administrative Measures. This is a package of modifications with the character of “fine-tuning,” aimed at introducing technical corrections, legal-type clarifications, and reinforcing “very specific investments” in different areas of the regional territory.
Among the actions that it is intended to strengthen with these amendments are the reform, expansion, or construction of the health centers of Cistierna (León), Cantalejo (Segovia), and those of Valle de Mena and Miranda Oeste, in the province of Burgos. Likewise, improvements are included in the renewal of the CL-615 as it passes through Pino del Río and Guardo (Palencia), the increase in the Local Economic Cooperation Fund, the increase in aid intended for the Federación de Autismo de Castilla y León, the improvement of displacement grants, and the adjustment of the bonuses applied to tolls.
At the same time, PP and Vox introduce changes in areas such as the civil service, designations of origin and food quality, the protection of heritage, and the care model in residential and day centers, with the aim of specifying the application of the rules and adapting policies more effectively to the Community’s needs.
Overall, the two groups have registered fifteen amendments to the articles of the Law on Tax, Financial and Administrative Measures, one amendment to the articles of the General Budget Bills of the Community, and another fifteen amendments of a numerical nature on the accounts. These numerical amendments involve the mobilization of nearly 23.5 million, “an amount that represents barely a fraction of some 16.472 million accounts and that confirms that this is about perfecting the final loose ends of an already closed, extensive, and thoroughly developed project,” the proposing groups have said.
The spokesperson for the Popular Group, Leticia García, has stressed that these proposals respond to the joint work of both formations with a clear will for precision. "They are amendments that only help to perfect budgets that are already excellent in and of themselves," she defended, to emphasize that the adjustments come from dialogue with the different sectors and with the territories of the Community, "and they do not alter the essence of such an extensive, so deep and so important a project, but rather cap it off with the attention to detail that the best accounts in the history of Castilla y León deserve".
Along the same lines, the spokesperson for the Vox Group, David Hierro, has emphasized that the amendments arise from coordinated work between the two parliamentary groups with the aim of improving "an already, by itself, good budget for the people of Castile and León." Hierro added that, after the budget has been approved and with these modifications, "the citizens of Castilla y León will be able to face their future with the guarantee of compliance with the agreement between PP and Vox, the result of the will expressed at the ballot boxes last March".
Lastly, both formations, which make up the Autonomous Government, have claimed the climate of understanding and the joint work that, in their view, allow the Community to have "accounts that are on time, rigorous and at the service of citizens." The budgetary project for 2027 amounts to 16,472 million euros, with an increase of 1,910 million compared with the previous accounts, which represents growth of 13.11 percent.
