Azcon firmly asserts that he will only entertain the prospect of approving the 2026 budgets.
In the heart of Spain, the autonomous community of Aragon is gearing up for a significant year ahead. The President of the Government of Aragon, Jorge Azcón, is spearheading two main initiatives: negotiating with the central government over potential debt forgiveness or budget cuts, and the approval of the 2026 autonomous budgets.
The 2026 budget, if approved, promises to be the largest in the history of the autonomous community, reaching nearly 9,000 million euros. This budget is expected to improve the quality of life in Aragon, particularly in education and health, and strengthen investment projects.
One of the most exciting investment projects is the battery gigafactory, which involves an investment of 4.1 billion euros and is expected to create 4,000 jobs. The arrival of between 1,500 and 2,000 Chinese workers for the construction of this gigafactory is imminent.
Another significant development is the decision by a Chinese automobile company to start production of two new models in the Stellantis plant. This move is another sign of the good moment the automobile sector is experiencing in Aragon.
The 2026 budget aims to strike a balance between tax reduction, investment in new projects, and the quality of services. In line with this, Azcón has announced that these budgets will aim to eliminate taxes, such as the death tax (inheritance tax), which he considers an "unjust" tax.
Jorge Azcón, a native of Zaragoza, has evaded questions about a decree from the central government on the distribution of immigrant minors. However, he has emphasized the defense of Aragon against the policies of the central government that harm the territory.
The regional government of Aragon is against the "debt forgiveness" for Catalonia, viewing it as a political operation by the PSOE. Instead, Azcón has stated that no debt is "forgiven" for autonomies like Aragon, but it's a mutualization of debt to pay for the political services of the Government of Spain.
Azcón won for the People's Party (Partido Popular) in 2023, and the debate on the spending cap for the 2026 budget planning should begin in 2024. The budgets will be presented in the Aragonese Parliament at the end of September, if nothing prevents it.
In conclusion, the 2026 budget in Aragon is set to bring about significant changes, focusing on improving the quality of life, fostering investment, and reducing taxes. The upcoming debates promise to be crucial in shaping the future of this vibrant autonomous community.
