Asturias increases credit against gender-based violence by 679,000 euros

The Regional Ministry of Presidency, Demographic Challenge, Equality and Tourism of the Principality of Asturias has authorized a complementary expenditure of 679,000 euros to cover the payment of grants for victims of gender-based violence from the 2026 call. The decision is formalized in the Resolution of November 4, 2026, an extract of which is published in the Official Gazette of the Principality of Asturias (BOPA) number 220, dated November 13, 2026, within section I of Other Provisions. The additional credit increases the total allocation of the line to 2,595,000 euros.

The measure responds to a problem of budgetary insufficiency: once the submitted files were processed and evaluated, the ministry concluded that the initially planned allocation was not enough to cover the requests. The allocated amount of the item was 1,916,000 euros, so the now-approved extension covers the difference necessary to pay the grants already processed.

Legal basis and processing

The framework for these subsidies was established by Order PRDIT/2/2026, of April 29, which approved the regulatory bases for the granting of aid to women victims of gender-based violence and/or vicarious violence and to the daughters and sons of fatal victims of gender-based violence. The public call was approved later, by Resolution of June 17, 2026, an extract of which was published in BOPA number 124, of June 30, 2026.

The expandable nature of the credit has express coverage in the Law of the Principality of Asturias 5/2025, of December 31, on the General Budgets for 2026, published in BOPA number 251, of December 31, 2025. Its article 6.c allows for the increase of the budgetary application 11.03.323B.484.248, named “Women and minors victims of gender-based violence,” by the precise amount needed to meet obligations exceeding the initial allocation.

The authority to authorize the expenditure corresponds to the head regional minister of the department, Gimena Llamedo González, according to article 41.1 of the consolidated text of the Economic and Budgetary Regime of the Principality of Asturias, approved by Legislative Decree 2/1998, of June 25, and article 7.1 of the 2026 budget law. The competencies in equality and the fight against gender-based violence correspond to this ministry according to Decree 22/2023, of July 31, on the restructuring of the regional ministries.

Figures and destination of the money

The points approved by the resolution are as follows:

• Authorized complementary expenditure: 679,000 euros.
• Initial allocation of the call: 1,916,000 euros.
• Total allocation after the extension: 2,595,000 euros.
• Budgetary application: 11.03.323B.484.248, “Victims of gender-based violence”.
• Beneficiaries: women victims of gender-based violence and/or vicarious violence and daughters and sons of fatal victims of gender-based violence.
• Call identifier in the National Grants Database: BDNS 914091.

The publication complies with the mandate of article 58.5 of the Regulations of the General Grants Law, approved by Royal Decree 887/2006, of July 21, which requires the dissemination of the declaration of available credits before resolving the grant and in the same media in which the call was published.

No new application period

The department emphasizes that this publication does not open a new period for submitting applications nor does it restart the countdown of the period for resolution. The conditions established in the initial call remain in effect, and the summary is also disseminated under articles 17.3.b and 20.8.a of Law 38/2003, of November 17, General Grants Law.

Against the resolution, which exhausts the administrative route, the following may be filed:

• Contentious-administrative appeal within two months before the Contentious-Administrative Chamber of the High Court of Justice of the Principality of Asturias.
• Optional appeal for reversal before the counselor within one month.
• Both appeals cannot be filed simultaneously, in accordance with Law 2/1995, of March 13, and articles 123 and 124 of Law 39/2015, of October 1.

The budgetary reinforcement ensures that the grants from the 2026 call reach all persons whose application has already been evaluated, preventing the lack of credit from delaying payments to victims of gender-based violence and the children of fatal victims, two groups that depend on these grants as direct economic support.
