The Provincial Council of Cáceres increases aid to town halls by 11.5 million

The Provincial Council of Cáceres has approved modification 6/2026 of its Strategic Grant Plan for the 2026 financial year, which incorporates 11,544,337 euros from the Extraordinary Plan II 2026 for the current expenditure of city councils and an additional 300,700 euros for smaller local entities. The modification, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Presidency of the corporation, is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Cáceres on November 11, 2026, in Section I (Local Administration), with the official reference BOP-2026-5249.

The current plan was approved by Presidential Resolution on January 12, 2026, published in the Official Gazette of the Province number 9, on January 15, in compliance with article 8.1 of the General Grants Law 38/2003 of November 17, and Royal Decree 887/2006, which approves its regulation. Section 15 of the plan itself provides for the possibility of introducing modifications during its term: its processing corresponds to the Treasury and Local Entity Assistance Area and its approval to the Presidency.

The announcement details that the Treasury Area received various budget modification proposals during July 2026, which are now being incorporated into the plan. The document is dated in Cáceres on November 4, 2026, and signed by the secretary Álvaro Casas Avilés.

Extraordinary Plan II 2026 accounts for the bulk of the expansion

Most of the increase comes from the Extraordinary Plan II 2026, broken down into two applications of the Treasury and Local Entity Assistance Area:

• 02.9209.46220: 11,544,337 euros for current expenditure of city councils.
• 02.9209.46820: 300,700 euros for current expenditure of smaller local entities.

The extraordinary plan thus totals 11,845,037 euros. The total increases for the Treasury and Local Entity Assistance Area reach 12,682,627 euros, compared to 149,950 euros in reductions.

Presidency contributes 450,140 euros and other areas exceed four million

The Presidency Area increases the humanitarian aid and development cooperation line (01.2313.48607) by 16,500 euros and deducts 450,140 euros from grants to local entities for governing bodies and capital expenditures (01.9121.76202), divided into two reductions of 301,390 and 148,750 euros. The remaining departments contribute:

• Promotion, Mobility and Provincial Agenda: 3,390,036.02 euros in increases and 64,718.16 euros in reductions.
• Second item from the same department: 472,897.74 euros in increases and 277,000 euros in reductions.
• Culture and Sports: 224,864.96 euros in increases and 126,398 euros in reductions.
• Personnel, Human Resources Management, SEPEI and Prevention: 3,000 euros.

Overall, the modification totals 16,789,925.72 euros in increases and 1,068,206.16 euros in reductions.

Calls for applications are added for 186,000 euros for energy communities and 302,897.74 euros for the hiring of personnel for the territorial repopulation team of REDEX.

Cuts in already planned programs

The reductions are distributed among call lines and nominative projects:

• 95,950 euros in current grants to local entities and 20,000 euros to non-profit entities.
• MIE Plan: Torremocha (5,949.99), Monroy (6,587.48), Casar de Palomero (18,520.14), Navas del Madroño (3,109.68), Majadas de Tiétar (10,113.95), and AUPEX (20,436.92).

The modification affects virtually all municipalities in the province, which may use the Extraordinary Plan II 2026 to finance current expenses and undertake investments in water supply, paving, sports facilities, and community centers, while non-profit entities gain access to new nominative lines for cultural, social, and sporting activities.
