The Oleiros City Council strongly criticizes the Xunta de Galicia for the halt of the Vía Ártabra works since 2021 and the lack of investments in the municipality and the A Coruña region in the regional budgets for 2027.

The stance of the Xunta de Galicia regarding the Vía Ártabra is described as "insulting" by the Oleiros City Council. The works for this important metropolitan ring road, which should serve municipalities such as Oleiros, Sada, Bergondo, Cambre, Culleredo, Carral, Arteixo, and A Coruña, have been stalled since 2021. The local government regrets that they will not resume in 2027 either, despite it being a project of "maximum regional interest".
The original text highlights the prejudice caused by this situation to thousands of people who are late for work, classes, or medical appointments, in addition to the negative economic impact on regional businesses. It points out that, despite a population increase of 100,000 people in the region over the last 40 years, the road infrastructure remains practically unchanged.
The Oleiros City Council also denounces the absence of specific investments for the municipality in the Xunta's budgets for 2027. No funds are allocated for new sidewalks on regional roads, the Montrove roundabout, improvements to the Parga Pondal and Luis Seoane schools, the expansion of the Lorbé port, or for sanitation or the regional water network. The local government considers this "constant partisan use of institutions" by the Popular Party "indignant".
