Alcoy government seeks confidence vote to pass budget after opposition block

Alcoy's government will face a confidence vote after municipal budget approval was blocked. The budget failed to pass due to opposition votes from Guanyar, PP, and Vox, with the Alcoy Sur project cited as a key reason. Mayor Toni Francés will now seek a confidence vote on April 14. This move aims to either automatically approve the budget or open the door for a no-confidence motion, potentially changing the mayor's mandate.
