Yesterday, the Cabildo of Tenerife definitively approved its budget for the imminent 2024, which reaches the figure of 1,041 million. Thus, the plenary session approved, with the support of the insular Government (CC and PP) and Vox and with the abstention of the PSOE, to dismiss the only allegation presented to the accounts by a public employee of the Corporation.
Specifically, in this allegation he argues that “he understands that the preparation and approval of the budget has not been adjusted to the procedures established by law” in terms of the inspection of the templates, “and for omitting the necessary credit” for a series of places offered, for which he requested the cancellation of the plenary agreement of November 27 in which the budget was initially approved, as explained by the insular director of the Treasury, Juan Carlos Pérez.
However, the insular director pointed out that the reports of the General Secretariat, the administrative service of legal regime, union relations and public sector of the General Directorate of Human Resources and the General Intervention of the Corporation itself conclude that the processing of the budget has been “in accordance with the regulations” and “adequate coverage of all personnel expenses” is confirmed, which is why it was proposed to dismiss the allegation.
From the PSOE, its spokesperson, Aarón Afonso, recalled that his group stated that, “regardless of the existing discrepancies not only in the substance of the approval of the budget, but also in the form of approval of the templates, it was not going to make any type of allegation in the public information process, because we were not going to put any obstacle to the entry into force of the budget as quickly as possible.”
The island president, Rosa Dávila, concluded the plenary session by stating that, once the process is completed, the budget “would come into force on January 1, which is great news for all citizens.”
The island accounts for next year represent an increase of 9.9% compared to those of 2023, and the Social Action Area is the one with the most resources, with 271.8 million, which represents 26.1% of the total budget.
