Xàbia approves municipal budget for 2025, the first for three years

Before this week, Xàbia Council had gone three years without having approved an annual municipal budget. However, in an extraordinary plenary session on Wednesday, a municipal financial plan has finally been approved for the year 2025 with votes in favour from the Partido Popular, Ciudadanos por Jávea and Vox – the local government ‘tripartite’ – a decision which mayor Rosa Cardona said would usher in “a new stage in the management of the municipality”.

The mayor explained that the approval will “guarantee the provision of basic and essential services for all citizens. We are very happy because, after so many years [without one], Xàbia deserves it. This will allow us to lay the foundations for an improvement in cleanliness, security, municipal infrastructure and personnel. We have begun to build the house as it should be, and not from the roof, as was being done until now.”

The opposition from PSPV-PSOE and Compromís voted against approval, highlighting the lack of new investments for Xàbia. “The figures do not include new works or investments in rehabilitating spaces”.
