Mayors across Chile identified budget areas they consider particularly sensitive as the government prepares spending plans. The Association of Chilean Municipalities' executive committee issued a political vote setting out its position. The committee singled out a lack of clarity in financing for primary healthcare as a major concern. It asked the government to open a working table for direct discussions with municipal leaders. Mayors demanded that recent reductions be reversed. Their position centers on predictable funding and a formal say in decisions that affect local services. The statement makes municipal coordination part of the government's response to the budget objections.
