The PP has formalized in Congress a request for thirteen ministers to appear before the "very low" levels of execution of European funds", arguing that in a dozen ministries "the execution percentage stands below 32% with barely four months left until the program ends".

According to the popular ones, Spain was initially allocated 163,014 million euros in European Funds. However, in the last addendum of December 2025, the Government decided to renounce 60,454 million in loans, suppressed 17 laws committed to the European Commission to be able to receive the funds, and cut investments by more than 10,000 million.

The PP underlines, furthermore, that, with only four months left until the deadline to reach the milestones and objectives expires, the Executive is obliged to execute 32 billion euros before August 31 --40% of the total non-reimbursable transfers--, despite having only managed to execute 47.853 billion in transfers and 6.366 billion euros in loans in five years.

Faced with this situation, the party led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo has expressed its "more than reasonable" doubts about the level of compliance with the new commitments made in December", and for this reason has called for the presence in parliamentary headquarters of the heads of Industry, Transport, Digital Transformation, Territorial Policy, Science and Innovation, Economy and Commerce, Education, Inclusion and Social Security, Youth and Childhood, Ecological Transition, Housing, Health and Finance.

Likewise, the Popular Group plans to take advantage of the appearance this Thursday in the Mixed EU Commission of the first vice president and Minister of Economy, Carlos Cuerpo, to ask him about these "alarming data that represent a terrible management of a huge amount of money" and that, in his opinion, the Government has not known how to use properly.
