Galicia: PSdeG demands biogas regulations and challenges elderly care plan
In Galicia, the PSdeG socialist group is demanding specific regulations for biogas plants to ensure environmental safety and community participation. Spokesperson Patricia Iglesias criticized the current energy deployment as improvised and lacking consensus, specifically citing the Soandres project as a high-risk installation near residential areas and the Anllóns river.
Simultaneously, political tension has risen regarding the Xunta's elderly care plan. Deputy Silvia Longueira accused President Alfonso Rueda of electoralism, alleging that 23 of the 25 municipalities selected for new residences are governed by the PP. She also noted a reduction in guaranteed public places from 1,800 to 60% of the total capacity.
Other regional administrative updates include the Basque Government's Indartuz initiative, which is allocating 60 million euros through private funds to support SMEs and startups, and various municipal grants across Spain for school supplies, sports, and special education resources.
