The municipal government of Barcelona, through the first deputy mayor, the socialist Laia Bonet, has today presented the document of the Municipal Action Program 2023-2027, the roadmap for the city in this mandate that specifies the initiatives that the local executive plans to promote it in the coming years.
The PAM, which is an indicative document, will be submitted on Wednesday for initial approval by the Presidency committee of Barcelona City Council. It is presented at a time when the socialist Jaume Collboni, with 10 of the 41 councilors in the plenary session, is in a clear minority, although on May 2 he will be able to approve this year's budgets, which only have the support of PSC and ERC, automatically, after having submitted to a question of confidence and the opposition groups not presenting an alternative candidate for mayor.
