The Government of Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla (PP) has been sending the message since this Sunday that the budget of the autonomous community for the year 2025 will be the “highest in history.” “[Tendrá] 48,836 million.
“We will make a great effort in public health, education and employment, and it will be open to contributions from parties. Andalusia once again preserves stability to continue moving forward,” said the president of the Board. It grows by 4.4% compared to the initial budget for 2024, which is still being executed.
Among the messages sent by the Government these two days, there are also the increase in the health budget by one billion euros7% more than this year: according to the Board, 15,247 million are included in the accounts. Health is today the main problem in Andalusia, after the strike.
The Andalusian Government has also announced a millionaire investment in housingthe third of the issues that most concern Andalusians. Demonstrations and protests are being prepared in both Malaga and Seville for next November 9.
“Andalusians are going to have a good budget, which will dedicate its main items to health, education, and dependency, but also to employment and housing,” said the Minister of the Treasury, Carolina Spain (PP).
In the absence of knowing more details of the accounts, which the counselor plans to reveal at a press conference this Tuesday, the opposition has for the moment labeled the accounts as “wet paper” given what they consider a flagrant lack of execution by the Government of the budgets they have managed until now.
The numbers presented by PSOE, Por Andalucía and Adelante regarding budget execution imply, in the words of Inma Nietospokesperson for Por Andalucía, that from this year’s budget, 2024, up to “17,000 million are missing in the third quarter to be executed.”
These are the accounts that Por Andalucía makes to affirm this: “Since the beginning of 2024, the Andalusian budget has gone from 46,538 million euros to 49,655 million, an increase of 6.7%. However, despite this increase of resources, in the third quarter of the year there were still 17,883 million euros unexecuted. If the trend continues, non-execution. will exceed 5,000 million euros at the end of the year.”
The Andalusian Government disagrees this way of doing the math. Regarding the execution of the budget of the previous year, 2023, which the Board estimated at 98.3%, The reference was not the final credits—the money available to spend—as Por Andalucía takes into account, but the initial ones, the budgeted ones.. The Andalusian Government thus defends that it executes better than the socialist executives: “If these figures are compared [de 2023] with those of 2018, the degree of execution [ha sido] nine points [mayor]”.
Unexecuted accounts
The left, however, seized on the lack of execution as a political argument to criticize the accounts. “[No aplicar el presupuesto]especially in social and investment areas, not only affects the provision of services, but represents a lost opportunity for the development of the region and the improvement of the living conditions of Andalusians,” he stated. Grandson.
For the PSOE, the same: the budget is “a waste of paper” taking into account the “poor execution that is subsequently made of them.” The deputy Alicia Murillostated that Moreno Bonilla will leave 5,000 million in a drawer, 10%, this year. “In this legislature, there are 10,000 million unexecuted,” he stressed. For the socialist parliamentarian Gaspar LlanesMoreno Bonilla’s accounts for 2025 “are those of economic and social hopelessness.”
For the socialists, the accounts for 2025 are “historic” due to their global figure, but they have attributed it to the contributions of the Government of Spain since it is currently “the fastest growing economy in the world”, with a figure this year of 3.1 “, “well above forecasts“, as he has highlighted.
