He People’s Party has agreed to Vox’s requesthis government ally in the City Council of Burgosto eliminate from the 2025 municipal budget the financial allocations intended to support NGOs that provide shelter and assistance to the migrants in the city.
The spokesperson for the Government team, Andrea Ballesteros (PP), has indicated in the press conference after the Local Government Board that the 2025 budget will only include an item intended to comply with this year’s pending obligation. This is because 30% of the aid still needs to be paidwaiting for the NGOs to present justification for the expenses.
The measure affects organizations such as ACCEM, Burgos Hosts and Intercultural Watchtower. Last year, these entities signed new agreements with the City Council for a total of 119,000 euros, an amount that will be eliminated by 2025.
“It was a request from Vox during the budget negotiation and the PP does not agree, since these NGOs carry out very valuable work. However, we are in a coalition governmentand it is likely that the budget we present is not ideal for either the PP or Vox,” Ballesteros explained.
On the other hand, aid of more than 19,000 euros is maintained in the budget for Caritasalso for the reception and assistance of migrants. However, the PP councilor has avoided offering details about this item and The explanation has been sent to the Vox councilors.
