In that sense, he stated that the meeting to approve the Director’s programming was “very good, but since the theater is open, management needs to be addressed for obvious operability and rehabilitation reasons. clearly developable conditions“.
Regarding the Generalitat’s bid to purchase parts of Alicante City Council and Banco Sabadell, he said “this will still stands.” At the time, “The City Council interpreted this as a form of aggression and defended itself with unnecessary vehemence. The proposal was sincere, because it has the technical capacity, as it has managed the directors of the Generalitat, Valencia and Castellón, to completely assume the management of the Director of Alicante”.
