Montijo has facilitated the payment of the final tranche of 100 thousand euros, related to the program contract signed with the Association for Professional Training and Development of Montijo (AFPDM). The amount is exclusively for settling the salaries of the workers at the Professional School of Montijo.
The program contract, initially approved in September 2024 with a total municipal support of 300 thousand euros, has already had 200 thousand euros paid. The release of the final sum was contingent upon the submission of an Interim Report justifying expenses, validated by an Official Accountant (ROC), a document yet to be delivered by the AFPDM's Board of Directors.
Fernando Caria, president of the Montijo Municipal Council, explained that the decision addresses the institution's financial difficulties and the non-payment of wages. The mayor regretted the absence of AFPDM representatives at meetings convened to analyze the situation, which were only attended by council members.
The approved proposal stipulates that the AFPDM Board of Directors must submit the outstanding report within a maximum of five working days. The payment of 100 thousand euros was transferred today, exclusively allocated to overdue salaries.
Should the report not be submitted within the defined deadline, the president of the AFPDM General Assembly will be requested to convene an extraordinary meeting to deliberate on the dismissal of the Board of Directors for failing to fulfill its duties. The proposal was unanimously approved.
