AND The head of the organization, Salvador Navarro, who gave homework to new governments as a result of both calls, began by demanding speed and stability in the constitution, as well as more investment for the province of Alicante.. Not forgetting to demand that PPCV fulfill its promises in terms of tax reduction and simplification of bureaucratic procedures, the rail connection with the airport and the maintenance of the Tagus-Segura transfer were two of the topics he discussed.
The main focus of the CEV assembly held at its headquarters in Valencia was the speech of Salvador Navarro. In fact, given the turbulent political moment we are in, what they could say was awaited with anticipation. And the first of his claims was directed towards the negotiations for the formation of the government in the Valencian Courts, which began precisely this Thursday, and that “it would not be in our favor if they lasted forever”. The President of the Employers’ Union emphasized that the business world should have an autonomous manager as soon as possible and this should be stable. “Only by guaranteeing political, institutional, social and legal stability will it be possible to sustain progressive economic and employment recovery”.

Beginning with what people’s leader Carlos Mazón has christened the Simplify Plan, the plan that businessmen now claim is one of the first proposals to be implemented. «We want the excessive bureaucracy to end, and the Administration to facilitate the start and expansion of economic activity.and knowing at what stage the cases are or that positive administrative silence has been enforced,” stressed Salvador Navarro.

In that sense, he demanded that investments correspond to the population size of this region, “something that hasn’t happened with governments of different colors since 2008,” he recalled.
And he devoted a special section to projects deemed necessary both for the province and for the Valencian Community as a whole. Thus he claimed Alicante-Elche airport “stopping being the only major airport in Europe without a train connection”He advocated the continuation of the transfer, proposing a state water pact that took into account Alicante’s leadership in management, treatment and reuse and provided the water resources necessary for socio-economic development.
