Lugo presents to the public two credit supplements approved by the Plenary

The Lugo City Council is submitting two credit supplements for public information, files 2/2026 and 3/2026, initially approved by the Plenary in the ordinary session of October 29, 2026. The announcements, signed by the mayor-president María Elena Candia López, are published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Lugo number 257, dated November 9, 2026, with references R.3030 and R.3031.

The processing is carried out in accordance with article 169 of Royal Legislative Decree 2/2004, of March 5, which approves the Recast Text of the law regulating local finances. In both cases, these are credit supplement-extraordinary credit files, the modality by which a city council expands items of the current budget to cover expenses not initially foreseen or insufficiently funded.

The two plenary agreements open a period of fifteen business days for claims, counted from the date of insertion of the announcements in the provincial gazette. The published texts do not detail the amounts of each file nor the summary by chapters of the affected expenditure budget.

Three credit modifications in the same gazette

Number 257 of the gazette contains three budgetary modifications from the Lugo City Council, all approved in the same plenary session of October 29 and all submitted to the same period of public exhibition:

• Credit supplement-extraordinary credit 2/2026, approved by agreement number 4/147 (reference R.3030).
• Credit supplement-extraordinary credit 3/2026, approved by agreement number 5/148 (reference R.3031).
• Credit transfer 36/2026, approved by agreement number 2/145 and processed under article 169.1 by referral of article 179.4 of the same legal text (reference R.3029).

The three publications bear the signature of the mayor and are dated in Lugo on November 2, 2026, one week before their insertion in the official gazette.

Who can claim and what happens if there are no allegations

The legislation invoked in the announcements refers to article 170 of the recast text of local finances. Legally entitled interested parties who meet any of the causes provided for in paragraph 2 of that article may present claims, and may do so from the date of insertion of the announcement in the Official Gazette of the Province and throughout the period of public exhibition.

The effect of the lack of allegations is fixed: if no claim is presented during the period, the credit supplement files are considered definitively approved. In the case of credit transfer 36/2026, the announcement specifies that the plenary agreement is automatically elevated to definitive.

While the exhibition lasts, the files remain available to interested parties for examination, and their documentation accompanies the plenary agreement that initially approved them.

The weight of the supplements in the fiscal year

The credit supplement is the usual instrument through which local administrations adjust the approved budget to unforeseen needs, generally charged to the liquid treasury surplus. The concurrence of two files of this nature, together with a credit transfer, in the same plenary session and in the same bulletin indicates a relevant volume of adjustments in the 2026 municipal budget.

The initial approval does not close the procedure: as long as the claims period remains open, the affected items cannot be considered definitive and any legitimate interested party can alter the outcome of the file. Only upon becoming definitive, either expressly or by silence, do the modifications acquire full efficacy.

For the residents of the capital and for the groups awaiting specific items —services, investments, or subsidies—, the calendar of these three files marks when the expenses can be executed before the fiscal year ends on December 31. Any person or entity that considers itself affected has, from the publication in the bulletin, fifteen business days to examine the file and present their allegations before the Plenary.
