The Candelaria City Council has advanced in the voting phase of the Candelaria27 Community Budgets, allocating 500,000 euros to residents' direct decision-making on municipal resources.

The citizen participation initiative held two key information sessions this week. On Tuesday, September 15, the Candelaria Casco session took place in the Council Chamber, followed on Wednesday, September 16, by the Playa La Viuda session at the Candelaria Technology Center (CTCAN).
In both meetings, residents received detailed information on how to vote for the viable proposals presented. The reasons why some initiatives were not declared eligible for voting were also explained, ensuring transparency in fund management.

"Half a million euros are distributed by listening to those who live their street's day to day."
