David Astrié, Demòcrates councillor, Comú d'Andorra la Vella (local)

• Astrié criticized the Comú d'Andorra la Vella's 2026 budget for raising multiple municipal fees simultaneously, including parking passes (2.5%), the Serradells sports facility pass (25%), the public hygiene tax (5%), the traditional "Foc i Lloc" tax (4.5%), property tax (3%), and the dog-ownership tax (7%). source (Date: December 2025 | Relevance: Documents concrete local (comú-level) tax and fee increases and organized opposition to them, directly relevant to whether comuns should raise further levies for transit.)
• He asked the ruling majority whether they had calculated the cumulative impact on an average family "En un moment especialment delicat, amb una crisi d'habitatge" (at an especially delicate moment, amid a housing crisis), citing an example household that would pay €437 more in 2026. source (Date: December 2025 | Relevance: Illustrates the core resident-facing argument against further comú-level tax hikes: cumulative burden during a housing affordability crisis.)
• Astrié concluded by asking the Comú for "més eficiència abans que més despesa, més realisme abans que més titulars, i més respecte al ciutadà abans que més increments tarifaris" (more efficiency before more spending, more realism before more headlines, and more respect for the citizen before more tariff increases). source (Date: December 2025 | Relevance: Directly frames the opposition case: prioritize efficiency and restraint over new levies, which would apply to any comú-led transit tax proposal.)
