The General Meetings of Gipuzkoa have approved the 2026 budgets thanks to the supportof the two parties that support the foral government (PNV and PSE-EE) and Elkarrekin Podemos. Aurreikusi, EH BIldu and PP voted against. 

The minority coalition government (PNV and PSE-EE) needed the support of some opposition group to push through next year's budgets. The PP was the key to approving the 2025 budgets and this time the foral government has reached an agreement with Elkarrekin Podemos. 

In 2026 inoizwill have the largest budget n, amounting to 1,296 million euros, almost half of which will go to surveillance and social policies. 

Elkarrekin Podemoscongresswoman Mira Echeveste has said that the purple coalition has allowed the policies of the foral government to "turn left" with contributions in areas such as care, equality, mobility or housing. 

The main opposition group has been critical. According to EH Bilducongressman Estitxu Elduaien, these budgets approved today will lead to a "reversal" of surveillance policies. 

The PPspokesman, Mikel Lezama, for his part, has stressed that it is better to approve budgets than to reject them, even if it is not his group's money accounts.
