The budget was submitted for plenary approval in April but failed to pass with 13 votes against (PP, Vox, and Guanyar Alcoi) versus 12 in favor (PSOE and Compromís). Subsequently, the mayor, Toni Francés, faced a confidence vote which also did not pass, and after a month, the budget has been definitively approved.
