The PSOE and Compromís lament that Carrasco substitutes Castelló's distinctions "for her own particular and partisan awards"

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General11 September 2026 at 11:37

The opposition parties in the Castelló City Council, PSOE and Compromís, lamented that Mayor Begoña Carrasco has converted the city's distinctions into particular and partisan awards. The criticism arises after it was not possible to reach municipal consensus on these distinctions. The spokesperson of the municipal group of PSOE, Patricia Puerta, and the spokesperson of the municipal group of Compromís, Ignasi Garcia, were responsible for publicly denouncing this situation. The mayor from the Popular Party was accused of using these recognitions for her own political purposes, instead of maintaining the institutional character that these municipal distinctions should have.

The Porto City Council considers it "fair" that the State co-finances future rehabilitation works in the municipality's health centers. The council had already identified, in 2024, several health centers whose rehabilitation could apply to the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), but ended up dropping some applications due to the too short deadlines imposed by the program. The mayor, Rui Moreira, defended the need for state support for these interventions, highlighting that the municipality cannot bear alone all the costs of requalifying health infrastructures.
