The distribution of the General State Budgets for 2023 has generated great discomfort in the socialist mayor of Valladolid, Óscar Puente, who despite belonging to the PSOE has cried out against the Accounts for the small amount allocated to the City of Justice of the locality , which has been waiting seven years.

The forecast of allocating only 200,000 euros and extending the plan until 2026 has caused the councilor to label the sum as "teasing" and has agreed with his government team, in coalition with Valladolid Take the Word, to suspend the initiative.

"Everything has a limit, the glass has been filled," Puente said this Friday after summoning his councilors first thing in the morning to confirm a shared decision.

The City Council has spent seven years trying to promote a City of Justice that requires an investment, they estimate, much higher than that offered by the Government.

It is about converting an old school, that of El Salvador, which consists of a large plot in the center of Valladolid.

The Executive of Pedro Sánchez, in addition, extended the duration of the project until 2026. “It's been seven years, there were no more excuses.

Appropriating 200,000 euros is a joke and the city does not deserve it”, said the councilman, who aspires to his third municipal term in the 2023 elections. “When you are interested, if one day you have it and show it, then the The City Council will be there to cooperate in solving a problem that is neither the city's nor the city council's”, criticized the mayor, who believes that at least 300,000 euros were needed to “finance the drafting of the project”.

"Now it is OK.

If they are not able to do that ... ”, he has riveted.

The mayor of Valladolid has insisted that it is up to the Ministry of Justice to manage this kind of project.

“That it provides a poor service is not a problem for the City Council”, said Óscar Puente.

The next step, he stated, is to apologize to those affected - the city's judiciary and lawyers - and tell them what happened before looking for a new use for those lands, close to the emblematic church of San Pablo and in the city center.

The councilor has defined it as "a very greedy plot, in which all kinds of things can be done", and aspires to give another functionality to the old educational center of El Salvador, which has 36,000 square meters.
