After months of negotiation and changes in the context that demanded it, the aid provided in amendment no. 128 became part of the municipal budget approved at the end of 2021 for the fiscal years 2022–2025. Following vetoes by the executive branch, which were overturned in March 2022, the project is still awaiting implementation.
