Bueu municipality subsidy dispute with Xunta de Galicia

Overview

The municipality of Bueu is contesting a demand from the Xunta de Galicia to return 700,000 euros in subsidies. These funds were originally intended for the energy renovation and rehabilitation of the Beluso pavilion.

The Xunta initiated the reimbursement procedure citing a failure to meet justification deadlines. However, Mayor Félix Juncal has filed formal allegations, arguing that the local government warned the regional administration of potential delays on three separate occasions in late 2025, but those communications went unanswered. The municipality also noted that a Xunta official attended the pavilion’s reinauguration in August, shortly before the notification to reclaim the funds was issued in September.

Local officials attributed project delays to circumstances beyond their control, including vacancies for a municipal architect and coordinator, as well as necessary modifications discovered during the construction process.
