Okay,here’s a breakdown of the key details from the provided text,categorized for clarity. I’ll focus on the main points related to city improvements, security, and financial aspects.
1. Public Safety & Security Enhancements:
* Increased Police Presence: The municipal police force will be reinforced with 14 new officers in 2026, in addition to consolidating the 15 recently hired. The personnel budget for this is 56 million euros.
