Andorra Endavant Misses 2026 Budget Amendments Deadline on Housing Proposals

Andorra Endavant MPs missed the deadline to submit amendments to the 2026 budget after submitting them late on Monday, but the party vows to advocate for its housing initiatives during upcoming parliamentary debates.

The opposition group, led by Carine Montaner, attempted to register its proposals electronically, believing the cutoff—extended several times—remained open until 11:30am. In reality, the Sindicatura had set it at 9:30am, resulting in a rejection. Andorra Endavant cited a technical validation issue on the platform and noted that registrations during holiday periods usually extend to 11:30am or 1:30pm. The party has accepted the decision without protest, acknowledging its own confusion.

The blocked amendments centered on access to dignified housing, the value of employment, and equal opportunities. A flagship proposal sought €11.958 million for 150 modular homes on public land, split into three 50-unit pilots: one offering affordable rentals for active young people—workers or entrepreneurs struggling with market access—to support emancipation; another with accessible designs for seniors, addressing growing residential insecurity while promoting community-based independence; and a third for working families, where all adults of working age hold full-time jobs (excluding retirees, students, and minors), prioritizing single-parent and vulnerable households to bolster stability, cut child poverty, and foster social cohesion.

The package also included €500,000 more for rental aid, potentially reaching 150 extra households in 2026. All changes relied on internal reallocations within existing budget lines, keeping overall spending unchanged.

Unable to table them formally, Andorra Endavant intends to push the ideas in the Finance legislative commission and throughout the budget review process.
