Torrevieja’s council has definitively approved its 2025 general accounts at an extraordinary plenary meeting. The accounts include the council and its two autonomous bodies, the Municipal Habaneras Board and the Joaquín Chapaprieta Municipal Institute of Culture. They show an adjusted budget result of €10.15 million and total treasury funds of €45.36 million, including about €19.6 million available for general spending.

Economy and Finance Councillor Domingo Paredes said the figures demonstrate financial stability, liquidity and stronger controls. The consolidated balance sheet stands at €236.6 million, while net assets are approximately €212.8 million. The council recorded 2,793 financial control reports during 2025 and plans to introduce a new internal control module on its Gestiona platform.

The opposition PSOE has questioned the figures, pointing to €16.7 million in unpaid bills during the second quarter of 2026. Of that amount, €14.2 million related to invoices not yet applied to the budget, compared with €6.8 million a year earlier. Socialist councillor David Villanueva also highlighted future investment commitments exceeding €73.6 million, including projects such as the Museum of the Sea, a new Habaneras auditorium and an Alzheimer’s day centre.

The council corrected a numerical error in the adjusted budget result after the PSOE submitted objections, but said the change did not affect the main financial indicators. The approved accounts will now be sent to Spain’s Court of Auditors and other supervisory bodies.
