Faced with accusations of privatization of health care, I am spending more than ever on infrastructure. With this dichotomy yesterday, the delegate of the Government of Junta of AndalusiaAdolfo Molina, the presence of Córdoba in the budgets of the Regional Executive for 2025.
Investments in health, particularly in infrastructure, as well as in social inclusion, youth, family and equality, are the most important that appear in the bill that has just been approved by the government of Juanma Moreno so that his treatment in Parliament can begin.
It is, he explained, a little more than 427 million euros for Córdoba, with a great focus on social issues and with the Ministry of Health and Consumption as the one that invests the more. Thus, 49 million euros will be distributed between several projects, the most important of which will be the new outpatient consultation building for the maternal and child sector of the Queen Sofia Hospital from Cordoba.
This project, already very advanced, will have 10.5 million euros available. They add up, he explained, to 7.6, to get closer to 21.2 of the project total.
Allocations will also be made for service points in neighborhoods and towns. In the capital, Naranjo’s office will have 21.4. The budgets provide 3.5 for the health center of Villanueva de Córdoba, 2.2 for that of Bujalance and 780,000 for the one to be built in Añora.
The Authority plans to complete the expansion works of the Montilla hospital and the third emergency point in the capital Córdoba in 2025, and to intervene on the equipment already at full capacity, with improvements which, for example , will be used for energy efficiency and the renewal and acquisition of new equipment, both in primary care as in hospitals, as Adolfo Molina detailed when speaking of budgets which, he insisted, “deny that health care is privatized or dismantled”.
Social policy
In accordance with the above, there will also be a significant budget for the Delegation for Social Inclusion, Youth, Families and Equality, which will have 15 million euros. Its fundamental destination will be subsidies to local entities to renovate day centers and residential centers for the elderly and disabled.
In this sense, Adolfo Molina regretted that the lack of General state budgets prevent a clear funding line for issues, for example, like dependency, which may have a larger budget.
Highways
Another important item will be that allocated to development, which concerns both roads and housing. It will be in 2025, insisted Adolfo Molina, that work will begin on the autonomous section of the highway. North Roundafter a long wait. For this road, with a length of 1.5 kilometers, the Government of Andalusia has allocated 2.09 million euros out of a total of 34.5 million planned in the budget.
Without leaving the roads, the A-306 highwaybetween El Carpio, Bujalance, Cañete de las Torres and Valenzuela. This is a fundamental route for the Upper Guadalquivir and the call for tenders and the development of the route adaptation project will begin, with an amount of approximately 15 million euros.
Also in the project part, not yet in the execution of the works as such, will be the variant of Goatwithin the framework of the highway known as the Olivar Highway, the northern ring road of Pozoblanco and the improvement of safety on the road that connects Lucena and Rute.
There will be no shortage of funds for Logistics base of the Army, a project in which the Autonomous Administration works in collaboration with the City Hall and the Ministry of Defense. The contribution will be paid through the Andalusian Housing and Rehabilitation Agency (AVRA), which will be responsible for the development of the land.
The contribution will be 2.78 million euros, according to the budgets of the Andalusian Government, out of a total of 38.3, as explained by Adolfo Molina.
Accommodation
The Ministry also has competences in housing, and in this section, 3.5 million euros will be provided for the development of residential land in sector 04 of the General Urban Plan of Córdoba, in Garden of Santa Isabel. 3,663 housing units were built there.
There will also be 10.2 million euros for the Social Environment Reintegration Program Figuera Park and 540,000 to complete the energy rehabilitation of 27 homes in Plaza de la Corredera.
Culture
Less amount, but also a lot of impact, this is what the Ministry of Culture and Sports will receive, with several projects in progress. It does not reach 4 million euros, but that would mean the start of work on San Pedro Arab Bathsa valuable complex from the Caliphate or later period, the expected works of which must begin so that it is consolidated and can be visited.
Adolfo Molina also mentioned the call for tenders and the awarding of the work of integration and musealization of the sonar which is located next to the Synagogue of Córdoba, and this would be part of the complex, but Medina Azahara will be the establishment that will receive the most attention. Thus, 1.52 million will be devoted to improving the efficiency of the museum, a facility inaugurated in 2009 and which presents notable deficiencies and problems which manifest themselves on a recurring basis.
The Junta de Andalucía will also finance projects aimed at protecting the original sidewalks and access routes to the Rich roomin addition to recomposing the ataurics of this space currently being restored. This is an investment of 832,000 euros.
Agriculture
An important section will be that of agricultural policies. Its Delegation is one of the best endowed, with 31.5 million euros of work, in particular to support the tasks of the field and livestock.
The completion of the water supply works from the La Colada reservoir to the Sierra Boyera water treatment plant will receive 9.3 million, but there will also be purification projects in La Rambla and Montalbán (6, 5 million), La Carlota (6), Rute (5 ), Pozoblanco (4.7) and seven other projects distributed in different parts of the province.
There will be specific support for different sectors, such as agriculture ecologicalwith 32 million euros, rural development, with 14, and the 21 which will have the processing and marketing of agricultural products.
Justice
The Minister of Justice, José Antonio Nieto, presented the investments that his department will develop in the province, and which concern the construction of infrastructures at the judicial headquarters of Aguilar de la Fronterain progress, and in Montilla, but also the payment of taxes from the City of Justice of Córdoba, of which 12 million will be paid.
