The communal college of La Calamine approved the second budget adjustment for 2026 on Wednesday evening.

This budget adjustment continues the austerity plan adopted by the municipal council in June 2025. It introduces necessary adjustments to the current fiscal year's budget due to new developments.
The 'black zero' recorded in the 2025 financial statement is confirmed with this second budget adjustment for 2026. A slight budget surplus is projected for the current fiscal year (+103,934.58 EUR after withdrawals). The multi-year plan up to 2031 is also balanced, in line with the supervisory authority's mandatory requirements.
Nevertheless, the budgetary situation remains strained due to overarching developments affecting the municipality and the Social Assistance Centre (IPP, labor market reform).
