Galician regional administration and political developments

Overview

Galician President Alfonso Rueda has engaged in various regional activities and administrative reforms following the summer break. Initially, Rueda focused on regional economic sectors, describing the viticulture industry as ‘strategic’ for Galicia, and announced plans to increase economic oversight of the region’s three universities through strengthened Social Councils and external audits.

As the new legislative session of the Galician Parliament opened, political tension increased. Opposition parties BNG and PSdeG criticized Rueda for prioritizing a People’s Party event in Madrid over a regional government meeting. Furthermore, the PSdeG has challenged the regional government regarding the management of state housing funds, accusing the Xunta de Galicia of attempting to withhold 5 million euros intended for housing support in A Coruña and Santiago de Compostela.
