Aragón’s budget remains an unknown. Although the president of Aragón, Jorge Azcón, had stated in recent days that its presentation would occur in “days” After knowing the latest data to complete its preparation in the last Fiscal and Financial Policy Council, the truth is that the accounts for the Aragonese community in 2026 have not yet been released. And there is no date either.
The vice president and spokesperson for the Government of Aragon, Mar Vaquero, has acknowledged that “there is no date“. And there is no “neither for the approval of the spending ceiling nor for presenting the 2026 budget,” he stated in the press conference after the Government Council.
Vaquero has hid behind the fact that, “if the president, in relation to Jorge Azcón, did not determine and did not specify the date, as you will understand, I’m not going to do it either“.
After acknowledging that “indeed” it was said that “in days” it would be announced, he regretted “not being able to specify the date“. However, he has downplayed the fact that the spending ceiling has not been approved in this Government Council, since this step could be done at any time “and there would be no need to wait 15 days”, alluding to the date scheduled for the next Government Council since an Extraordinary Government Council can be held.
Vaquero has stressed that he “wants to have the best budgets to reinforce public services” to add that he also “We want to seek certainty in what budgets can be approved“.
In this sense, it is committed to make a round with the parliamentary groups to “press opinion” before proceeding to call elections if the necessary support is not added. “Azcón has always wanted to promote a spirit of total dialogue, search for consensus and transparency,” he stressed.
However, he specified that at the time of presenting the 2026 budgets “It will be decided how those rounds occurthose queries and so on.
