The municipal government, formed by PP and Vox, argues that the renunciation is due to the infeasibility of executing the program with guarantees, given the established deadlines and conditions. According to the executive, from the moment the aid was granted, there was insufficient time to process the file, select personnel, formalize three-month contracts, execute the work, and complete payments within the set calendar.
Furthermore, the government team points out that the City Council also needed to have the retained and available credit to cover its economic contribution, which was also not possible within the stipulated time. Another decisive factor was that the contracts had to end on June 30, making their execution unfeasible with the current calendar.
“"It is not a lack of political will, but a real impossibility to develop the program under the established conditions."
In contrast, the PSPV of Torrent has strongly criticized the decision, denouncing that the renunciation means the loss of 72 temporary contracts and the return of the 447,288 euro subsidy, intended for reconstruction after the DANA. The socialists assert that this decision demonstrates a lack of planning in municipal management.
The socialist spokesperson indicated that the City Council accepted the subsidy without having the necessary municipal contribution guaranteed for its execution. The PSPV warns that the loss of this aid line prevents hiring personnel for tasks related to reconstruction, improvement of public spaces, and community services, and that this situation could affect future calls for applications.
