The budget amendment includes, among its main actions, the incorporation of new earmarked capital grants for social organizations in the municipality.

For his part, the Finance Councillor, Domingo Paredes, highlighted that “this is a responsible, balanced budget modification aimed at addressing real needs, with a significant social component and with actions that will have a direct impact on the quality of life of the residents of Torrevieja.”

STRENGTHENING UNIVERSITY ACTIVITY IN TORREVIEJA

The amendment also includes new funding for the education and university sectors. Specifically, it anticipates an increase of €71,000 for the agreement with the UNED (National University of Distance Education), as well as €29,761 for the Miguel Hernández University (UMH), due to the expansion of the agreement that will allow progress to be made in opening the new university campus in Torrevieja.

Dolón emphasized that “Torrevieja continues to take firm steps to consolidate itself as a university city, expanding educational opportunities and making it easier for our young people to access higher education without having to leave.”
