David Astrié, a councillor for Demòcrates in Andorra la Vella's local council, has warned residents that living costs in the parish will rise next year due to tax increases approved by the PS and Concòrdia majority.
In a video posted on social media, Astrié criticised the decision as a sharp rise in fiscal and tax pressure, forcing all parishioners to pay more. He detailed several hikes set for 2026: the foc i lloc property tax will go up by 4.5%, the hygiene fee by 5.5%, the dog tax by 7.8%, and the Serradells sports centre subscription by 25%. Parking permits will increase by 2.5%, while towing services face a 31% jump.
Astrié broke down the impact on households. A couple with one child, two dogs, a Serradells subscription, and a Centre Ciutat parking pass could pay an extra €437 compared to 2025. For a couple with two adult children, one dog, and two subscriptions—one for the sports centre and one for parking—the annual bill would rise by €902, a 31% increase over this year.
He ended the video by stating that this reflects the governing style of PS and Concòrdia in Andorra la Vella's council.
