O Porriño municipal budget and social service reforms

Overview

The municipality of O Porriño is preparing a record municipal budget for 2027, projected at 26.8 million euros. Following the settlement of a pending credit, the local government will no longer be subject to Treasury oversight, allowing for increased investment and frozen tax rates.

A central component of this budgetary shift is the transformation of the local food assistance model. Mayor Alejandro Lorenzo has announced plans to replace the traditional food bank system with a ‘tarxeta familia’ (family card). Managed by municipal social services, this system will allow beneficiaries to purchase essential goods directly from supermarkets rather than receiving predetermined batches of food. The initiative aims to reduce social stigma and eliminate ‘poverty queues’ by enabling families to shop like any other consumer.
