This is how the government delegation in Galicia points out this Friday, whose head, José Miones, highlighted in a press conference that these reports are “the most social in history” and are designed “to enter each of the houses in Galicia” .
Also 56 million are those reserved by the project for the Consorzio Zona Franca of Vigo, while something more is expected, 56.4 million, to cover the reduction of tolls on the AP-9 motorway.
In the railway field, the intermodal stations of Santiago (12.6 million), A Corua (23.6 million) and Ourense (17 million) total 53.2 million. For its part, the Lugo railway terminal counts 15 million.

In the area of highways, the public accounts project for next year foresees an entry of 30.3 million for the A-54 (between Santiago and Lugo), in correspondence with the Arza-Melide section, and another 24 for the Melide- Palas de Rei section.

For its part, the sanitation services of Poio-Sanxenxo receive 5.99 million.
Finally, the accounts include € 2 million for the Civil Guard barracks in Cambados and € 1 million for that of Santiago.
ASSESSMENT
In his appearance, the government delegate, José Miones, stressed that Galicia has an allocated investment of “almost 1,200 million euros”, which translates, according to his figures, into about 400 euros per Galician, “well beyond above the state average “, which placed at 284 euros per inhabitant.
Furthermore, he drew attention to the fact that the Xunta will receive from the financing system the “record” figure of € 9,402 million, “24% more”.
In five years of Pedro Sánchez’s rule, as he assured, the community received 31.7% more resources than Mariano Rajoy’s last five.
And he added that he hopes that the president of the Xunta, Alfonso Rueda, does not “follow” Feijo, whom he sees as “detached” from reality, “and does not recognize the value of these budgets for Galicia”.
According to his estimates, one in three Galicians will be “directly benefited month by month” from the increase in pensions and minimum living income.
Furthermore, he estimates that nearly 50,000 Galicians will benefit from the extension of free rail transport over the next year.
CONNECTION WITH THE PORTUGUESE HIGH SPEED
When asked by reporters about the southern exit and the connection with the Portuguese high-speed train, Miones defended that he was “a serious and responsible government” that “takes stock of what can be done”.
In this sense, he refused to “fatten up” the project with actions “not even in the project, unachievable”, as he claimed to have done with the governments of the PP.
For this reason, he hoped that “first the necessary studies will be carried out, then the projects will be carried out and then they will be included in the general budgets of the state”, which are, he stressed, “a living document”.
“We prefer to budget what is a reality. Greasing the bills would be irresponsible,” he summed up.
AUTOVA SANTIAGO-LUGO
On the other hand, he stressed that the Executive “continues to manage the same deadlines, despite all the difficulties” in relation to the Palas-Melide section, to questions about its conclusion in 2023.
These actions, he said, were “resumed at a higher rate” and were not affected by the “material price increase”. “Let’s continue with the initial project,” she decided.
