The strategy involves an estimated 50 million euros to fund initiatives such as tax increases, public sector spending, and social transfers.

Revenue strategies include increasing public expenditure on healthcare, education, and housing, as well as raising taxes to fund critical services. Social programs will focus on addressing poverty, improving quality of life, and supporting vulnerable populations. Additionally, the budget will allocate funds to address potential debt oversights, with an aim to prioritize repayment of existing debts.
Challenges such as economic uncertainty and inflation may impact revenue, necessitating careful planning to ensure sustainable spending. Future steps include increasing investment in infrastructure, expanding social programs, and improving public service delivery.
