The Plenary Assembly of La Laguna’s City Council has greenlit the municipal budgeting proposal for the year 2025, amounting to 226.1 million euros. This decision saw support from the Municipal Government Group (PSOE-CC), while the PP abstained and the remaining opposition parties voted against it.
According to the municipal plenary session, this amount constitutes the consolidated budget of the local authority, which includes the public company Muvisa, Urban Planning Management, as well as autonomous sports and music entities.
The mayor of La Laguna, Luis Yeray Gutiérrez, affirmed that “these figures are the result of collaboration and consensus among the various management sectors, along with contributions from the citizens of La Laguna.”
Furthermore, the municipal councillor for Finance and Economic Resources, Paqui Rivero, highlighted that the budget has been created within a global framework “shaped by significant economic uncertainty, softened by positive trends and growth within the national economy.”
Similarly, Fran Hernández, the head of the Municipal Services and Citizen Participation Department, remarked that “this budget signifies a proper balance between financial prudence and a focus on the genuine needs of the municipal populace.”
Councillor Badel Albel spoke about policies regarding “municipal matters.”
Among the key highlights of this budget for 2025 are the allocation of 24 million euros for social welfare, 19.2 million for works and infrastructure, and 6.2 million dedicated to housing. This is in addition to over 27.5 million already included in the Muvisa investment, investment, and financing programme for the current year.
