Canary Islands Government Grants and Subsidies Disclosure (Q4 2025)

Overview

The Canary Islands government has released details about the grants and subsidies awarded in the last quarter of 2025, adhering to transparency laws that require public disclosure of aid allocations.

However, to respect individuals’ privacy and protect their personal and family honor, certain grants related to sensitive cases—such as those issued for economic damages caused by the volcanic eruption in La Palma—are not disclosed publicly.

This move highlights the government’s attempt to balance transparency with personal privacy rights.

Public Information Shared

• Amount
• Purpose
• Beneficiaries of most grants

Information Not Disclosed

• Details when disclosure could harm personal dignity
• Grants related to sensitive or vulnerable situations, such as economic damages caused by the volcanic eruption in La Palma

Legal Context

This approach is consistent with national laws that safeguard personal privacy, especially in cases where aid relates to vulnerable or sensitive situations.

Objectives of Transparency Measures

• To keep residents informed about how public funds are spent
• To foster trust and accountability

Broader Implications

For expats and observers, this demonstrates how Spain navigates transparency standards while respecting individual rights—a key aspect of its commitment to open governance amidst complex social issues.
