The Carcaixent City Council has consolidated its economic solvency by closing the 2025 fiscal year with a positive result of 4.2 million euros. This figure is complemented by a key factor for the municipality's financial health: the Council's debt is practically nil, giving the local administration a solid capacity to face expenses and investments with complete security.

The management of the governing team during the past year has translated into an boost for public works and services. In 2025, more than 5.3 million euros were invested, representing an increase of 341% compared to the previous year, thanks to improved revenue collection and efficient management of public resources.

However, the reactivation of fiscal rules by the Ministry of Finance now obliges all administrations to adhere to new stability criteria. Failure to approve the 2026 budget would force austerity measures and paralyze vital projects. Municipal accounting warns that continuing to extend previous years' accounts could jeopardize financial stability and investments. Therefore, approving the 2026 budget becomes a necessity to avoid paralyzing the municipality.

The mayor of Carcaixent, Carolina Almiñana, has warned that "continuing to operate with a rolled-over budget is not a good solution for Carcaixent." According to the mayor, the municipality requires new accounts adapted to current market prices to prioritize and work with certainty.

Among the investments and contracts dependent on the approval of new accounts are the update of the street cleaning service (PROCARSA), the new waste collection contract, improvements to streets, squares, and schools, the municipal contribution for the rehabilitation of the Don Enrique Theater, and subsidies for local associations and groups. "At this moment, not approving a budget means a blockage, but this blockage directly harms citizens and associations by jeopardizing vital projects and services," explains Almiñana.

Since March 12th, all opposition groups have had the draft of the new budget. Almiñana states that, despite the willingness to dialogue, the response has been mixed, with some parties making inquiries without defining their vote and others not even making contact.

Once the 2025 liquidation is finalized, the governing team is confident in presenting the new budget in the coming weeks, urging parties to prioritize Carcaixent's general interest over partisan strategies, to avoid administrative paralysis that would harm residents in areas of cleaning, investment, or culture.
