In this sense, the Ministry acknowledges this decline and points out that it has responded to the commitments of the Generalitat president, Carlos Mazón. To maintain social services expenditures, which one forced austerity in other departments. However, the adjustments are mainly eliminating unnecessary expenses and budget only for these projects that seem to have actually been realized, Avoiding infrastructure provisions that are immature for implementation.

An example of the latter might be: innovation center Previous Consell predicted ships of the former Amaro fishing company It is in the Port of Alicante and where the Montes team wants to maintain. a project for this 4.8 million was foreseen in this year’s budgetAlthough the Generalitat does not yet own this property, this means that those currently responsible for Innovation Reducing the 2024 donation to only 193,000 eurosWith the expectation that most of the initiative will not start until next year.

Of course, this will not prevent the public company from continuing on its way. casualtiesbut these will almost halve: from 33.8 million expected by the end of 2023 to 18.8 million next year. Therefore, Consell’s calculations already make a prediction New capital inflow of 8.7 million To balance their balance sheets.

ITVs will get almost 74 million next year

The Generalitat Budget predicts that the new public company responsible for managing ITV will generate revenues of €73.6 million next year from the services it provides – 18% more since the first two months of this year have still seen the service privatized – to which we add a subsidy of 6.5 million It is necessary.
