To the government of José Luis Sanz Approval of local police Christmas plan is quite complicated. If yesterday the opposition groups rejected in the Finance Commission that this question be included by ordinary means in the … the agenda for this Thursday’s plenary session, was today the Vox municipal group – their main support so far in this mandate – who confirmed that he would vote against the file, even if it is ultimately incorporated due to urgency. Because beyond the form, what they are opposed to is the substance. “We have no different elements of judgment that would lead us to vote differently” and therefore “we will continue to be in the no”.
not even the pact concluded between the mayor and the majority union of the Local Police (Sppme) was enough for Abascal to change his position and choose to support the proposal. Their refusal is based on the fact that this new approach “makes municipal coffers more expensive and cannot afford it”. In this sense, Peláez emphasized that “We are talking about a productivity plan which represents 4.6 million, which are also deducted from the 2026 budgets which are not even approved. Therefore, “if last year we ran out of money for the police in May, imagine that with this amount we would run out in March or April.” A criterion that leads them to focus on the no, because “we cannot afford it in Seville”, then to bet on the return to the 2004 plan.
Peláez confirmed having spoken with “all” of the local police unions, recognizing that the project presented in plenary session this Thursday has the support of the majority “but not of the others”. His position, he insisted, is based on “the money it represents for this Town Hall”, since it would be 4.6 million euros which “would harm the 2026 budgets” and which “seems to us to be an important and serious thing”. Thus, he added, it is true that with the 2004 plan, “the police would be paid less”, even if “the city would be perfectly covered”. In this regard, he insisted that “The local police charge what they should charge” and this cannot be compared to last year’s scenario, “where it was different because of the Magna celebration.”
What they will facilitate from Vox is that the issue can be addressed in the ordinary plenary session this Thursday as an emergency, with the aim of the substance of the question “is debated and all municipal groups can better explain our position”. Of course, maintaining the position of no. And Peláez insisted that “Security is important in the city, but also that municipal coffers do not remain below minimum levels. or that we will go bankrupt because of the productivity of the local police.
