Ourense approves a credit supplement of 110,470 euros for investments

The Ourense City Council has finalized the budget modification 01P/2026 (file 2026030918), which incorporates a credit supplement of €110,470.81 destined for real investments and financed by the contingency fund. The announcement was published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Ourense on September 2, 2026, under reference R. 2.109.

The municipal Plenary, in an extraordinary session on August 3, 2026, initially approved the file, which was open for public inspection following its announcement in the BOP on August 7. As no claims were filed, the agreement became final and the modification is effective from the day following the publication of the edict.

A modification financed by the contingency fund

The operation transfers credit from chapter 5 (contingency fund) to chapter 6 (real investments), without altering the total budget. The movement is reflected in the expenditure statements for the 2026 fiscal year:

• Contingency fund: changes from €220,000.00 to €109,529.19 (−€110,470.81).
• Real investments: change from €47,847,393.18 to €47,957,863.99 (+€110,470.81).

The consolidated municipal budget remains at €168,420,793.56 in the revenue statement and €166,396,051.37 in the expenditure statement, with no variation in the total.

Legal framework and publication

The final approval is based on article 177.2 in relation to articles 169.1 and 169.3 of Legislative Royal Decree 2/2004, of March 5, and article 38.2 in relation to 20.1 of Royal Decree 500/1990, of April 20. In accordance with article 8 of Law 19/2013, on transparency, access to public information and good governance, the modification is also published on the City Council’s electronic headquarters.

The agreement, signed by Mayor Gonzalo Pérez Jácome, exhausts the administrative route. A contentious-administrative appeal may be filed against it before the Contentious-Administrative Chamber of the High Court of Justice of Galicia within two months from the day following its publication, without prejudice to other appeals deemed appropriate.

What it means for the citizens

The release of contingency funds in favor of real investments allows the Council to execute improvement actions without increasing total spending or resorting to new debt. The final publication in the official gazette provides legal certainty to the budget execution and opens the period for possible challenges before the courts.
