  • Cáritas has rejected 19,000 euros it was going to receive from the City Council of Burgos to assist immigrants in 2025.
  • The city council, led by a coalition of PP and Vox, has withdrawn aid from three additional NGOs that work with foreigners.
  • The decision to withdraw aid was a requirement of Vox to approve the municipal budget, demonstrating PP's alignment with Vox's criteria.
  • PP and Vox maintain pacts in over a hundred town councils across Spain.
  • Cáritas has demonstrated its dignity and commitment, going beyond mere rhetorical protest by rejecting the funds.

Conclusion: Cáritas's decision shows a firm defense of their principles in response to the discriminatory policies of PP and Vox. These actions suggest that PP has aligned with Vox's politics, which could trigger tensions and discontent at both local and national levels.
