The Provincial Council of Teruel distributes 350,000 euros among 241 rural freelancers

The Provincial Council of Teruel has approved the granting of 349,999.82 euros in subsidies to 241 self-employed individuals for the maintenance of services in the towns of the province during 2026. The decision is adopted by Presidency Decree DPT 2026-3899, dated November 10, 2026, and is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Teruel number 217, dated November 12, 2026, with the official reference 2026-3384. The same decree denies aid to another 17 applications.

The framework: aid for economic activity in municipalities

The subsidies are part of the aid program for the self-employed to promote economic activity aimed at maintaining services in the towns of the province of Teruel. The reference call is the one published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Teruel number 139, dated July 24, 2026, whose justification period was extended until November 30, 2026, by announcement 2026-3119, disseminated in the gazette on October 27.

The decree allocates the expenditure to budget application 2026-4312-47900 of the current budget of the Provincial Council of Teruel and orders the resolution to be reported to the Plenary in its next session, in addition to being forwarded to the Funds Audit Office. The resolution was signed in Teruel on November 10, 2026, by the president of the corporation, Joaquín Pascual Juste Sanz.

241 beneficiaries and aid of up to 2,000 euros

The approved list contains 241 self-employed individuals, ordered by points obtained in the scale, which range from 2 to 8. The granted amounts range from 212.54 euros for Edelweis Benedicto Alconchel to 2,000.00 euros for those who reach the maximum aid.

• Marta Eulalia Gasulla Antolí: 7 points, 2,000.00 euros.
• Josefa Navarro Jarque: 8 points, 2,000.00 euros.
• Ana Isabel Romero Pérez: 6 points, 2,000.00 euros.
• María Asunción Sangüesa Alba: 8 points, 2,000.00 euros.

In several files, the finally proposed subsidy is lower than the amount requested, in application of the scale and the limits of the call; this is the case for Ovidia Ghisa (2,000.00 euros requested and 1,444.47 granted), Neftalí Velilla Aguilar (2,000.00 versus 722.24) and Rafael Molinos Sancho (2,000.00 versus 722.24). The total committed amount amounts to 349,999.82 euros.

Tax residence outside of Teruel, the main cause of denials

The second section of the decree denies 17 applications and provides the reasoning for each. The most repeated reason is having the tax residence outside the province of Teruel:

• Pablo Peiró Lloret (Palma de Gandía) and María Amparo Barrera Soldado (Massalfassar).
• Ana Verdecho Sancho and Judith Ontoja Rodríguez, both residing in Valencia.
• Sergio Antón Rodríguez (Ademuz), Angélique Keuning (Caspe) and Melida Morillo Rojas (Madrid).
• David Parés Pascual (Barcelona), Elsa Castellano Alcaide (Benissanó), Vicenta Vila Aleixandre (Castellón) and Encarnación Cardo Prats (L’Eliana).
• Ana I. Checa García (Pobo de Dueñas) and Pablo Castaño López (La Ñora).
• Pedro Rioja Gasent, a self-employed collaborator of a primary self-employed person with a tax residence outside the province.

The remaining denials are due to other reasons: Javier González Fuertes, due to an activity heading not included among those required; Yuri Karina Velásquez Serrano, for failing to respond to the request and the absence of Annex I; and Salvador E. Sánchez Guerra, because their activity is not sole. The resolution provides for the individual and reasoned notification of the decision to all excluded persons.

Justification until November 30 and appeal process

Beneficiary individuals and entities may submit the supporting documentation for the grants until November 30, 2026, inclusive, through the electronic procedure enabled on the electronic headquarters of the Provincial Council of Teruel. The publicity of the grants will be carried out on the Notice Board of the electronic headquarters, on the corporation’s website, in the Transparency Portal, and in the National Grants Database, in accordance with article 45.1 b) of Law 39/2015.

Against the resolution, which ends the administrative route, an optional appeal for reversal may be filed before the president of the Provincial Council of Teruel within one month from the day following its publication, or a contentious-administrative appeal before the Contentious-Administrative Court of Teruel within two months, according to article 46 of Law 29/1998.

The distribution arrives as the justification calendar enters its final stretch, making this decree the mandatory reference for 241 self-employed workers in the rural areas of Teruel, for whom these grants represent direct support for the maintenance of activity and services in small municipalities. The detailed list, including names and amounts, is also available for public consultation in the provincial bulletin and on the Notice Board of the Provincial Council of Teruel.
