Badajoz Provincial Council increases its budget by 15 million for provincial plans

The Plenary of the Provincial Council of Badajoz initially approved an extraordinary credit of 15,000,000.00 euros on October 30, 2026, within the budget modification file 47/2026. The agreement is now published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Badajoz number 217, dated November 12, 2026, in announcement 4488/2026, which opens a 15-day period for the submission of allegations.

The budget modification is processed via extraordinary credits and affects the provincial institution as a whole, whose scope of action reaches the 165 municipalities and 15 smaller local entities of the province. The file was approved unanimously by the attending members after its inclusion via urgent procedure on the Plenary’s agenda.

The destination: Plan Futuro and Plan de Grandes Ciudades

According to the minutes of the session of October 30, published in the BOP of November 5, 2026, the extraordinary credit of file 47/2026 serves to provide funding for the two provincial plans approved in the same Plenary:

• Plan Futuro: total amount of 30,000,000.00 euros, with 10,000,000.00 euros financed in the 2026 fiscal year and initial credits of 20,000,000.00 euros for 2027.
• Plan de Grandes Ciudades: 5,000,000.00 euros destined for municipalities with more than 20,000 inhabitants.
• Purpose: infrastructure, equipment and public services, accessibility, works and current expenses, job creation, and sports facilities.

The figures for the Plan Futuro were corrected by the diligence for the rectification of material errors published in the BOP on November 6, 2026 (announcement 4427/2026), which increased the amounts initially recorded. Both plans must be incorporated into the 2026 Strategic Grant Plan.

Unanimous approval in the session of October 30

The plenary session was held at twelve hours and seven minutes on October 30, 2026, presided over by the President of the Corporation, Raquel del Puerto Carrasco, with the attendance of 25 of the 27 deputies who make up the institution. File 47/2026 was processed in the Urgent Section, as it had been registered after the official call of the Plenary.

The agreement was adopted unanimously by the attending members, with the same voting sense as the prior approval of the two provincial plans. In her final intervention, the President linked these tools to the capacity of the city councils to undertake investments and face the demographic challenge.

The publication of announcement 4488/2026 now opens the public information phase, an essential prior step for the budget modification to be definitively approved and for the credits to be executed. Until the 15-day period concludes, the file remains open for consultation by any interested party and for any claims that may be filed before the Plenary.
