The regional Consellería de Economía faces severe criticism from opposition parties for its failure to execute €103 million of allocated European Union funds. The BNG (Bloco Nacionalista Galego) has called this situation a "disastrous management" of resources that were intended to boost regional economic development. According to the BNG's spokesperson, the lack of execution not only highlights inefficiency within the regional government but also represents a significant lost opportunity for economic growth and job creation in Galicia.
The BNG also emphasized that this mismanagement reinforces the necessity for a reassessment of strategic plans regarding European funds, arguing that it reflects a broader issue of accountability within the Consellería. They insist on immediate measures to ensure future funds are effectively utilized and that such negligence is not repeated. This adds pressure on the regional government as it is imperative to improve transparency and efficiency in managing public resources, particularly as the region looks to recover economically in the post-pandemic landscape.
