SpainThe Galician regional government (Xunta) has announced retroactive conditions for its 'Bono Concilia' aid program, excluding families who contracted municipal summer camps from eligibility. The decision was made after many families had already booked the camps, meaning they can only receive subsidies if they opted for private camps. This change mirrors past issues where the government delayed transparency, such as when it restricted cash payments for school textbooks after purchases were already made. Critics including BNG, PSdeG, and Sumar have called the move 'privatizing' and 'classist,' arguing it favors faster applicants over those in need. The new rules state that camps organized by any public administration are ineligible for funding, while private organizers are eligible.
