As the organizational chart had one less ministry than the previous Executive, spending fell from 8.42 million euros annually in Francina Armengol's term to 7.1 million euros annually with the PP. However, this situation has reversed, and in 2025 the Popular Party already exceeded the spending of the Pact Government: they spent 8,970,175.74 euros annually on senior officials and temporary staff (advisors and trusted personnel).</p>]]></description>

The change comes after a turbulent period in the department, marked by repeated problems in the management of the tourist accommodation system, which has failed in recent attempts at allocation and distribution, creating a sense of incompetence within the department and significant frustration within Llorenç Galmés's governing team. Furthermore, Marcial Rodríguez had been involved in major clashes with tourism inspection staff, which have eroded his political standing. The current head of the department, one of the most important in the Consell due to the scope of its responsibilities, was even singled out by public employees for <a href="https://www.arabalears.cat/politica/conseller-marcial-rodriguez-nega-agredit-funcionari-relacio-excelent_1_5251575.html" >clashes and pressure</a>s.</p>]]></description>
