The suspension, which is already extending towards the fifth month without a clear resolution timeline, affects "a wide range of activities – educational, sports, cultural, social, and neighborhood – and puts services at risk" which, in some cases, compensate for "shortcomings of the Administration itself", she explained.</p>]]></description>

Associations warn that the situation, linked to an audit by the Court of Auditors of the 2022 grants, not only affects ongoing projects but also casts doubt on the continuity of aid for 2027.</p>]]></description>

"It's a disaster," notes one of the residents, Tònia Llabrés, who nevertheless highlights the warm reception the meeting received.
