The Consul is set to approve 85.5 million euros this Friday to fund the Alicante City of Justice project. The decision was conveyed to the Minister of Justice, Gabriela Bravo, following discussions with legal operators and professionals in Alicante. This signals a decisive step forward for the city, aligning with broader plans to strengthen judicial infrastructure in the region.
Current estimates indicate that the procurement window will open once the budget allocation is formally approved. This allows interested construction firms to submit their proposals for execution within a tight, streamlined timetable. Under this calendar, the works would be completed by the end of July, with actual construction activities slated to begin at the end of September. The project has a total construction window of 33 months, but proposals from bidders willing to accelerate the timeline will be rewarded with additional points during the evaluation process, encouraging faster delivery without compromising quality.
Minister Bravo described the move as very good news for Alicante, framing it as a historic claim finally recognized. She recalled past delays, noting that the Judicial Infrastructure Plan launched by the previous government left Alicante behind. Palaces of Justice were established in other provincial capitals such as Valencia and Castellón, while Alicante lagged in comparison. This is seen as a clear discrepancy in investment priorities, with the Conselleria signaling a firm commitment to rectifying past inequities and delivering essential judicial facilities for the city and its residents, reaffirming political will to advance the project despite earlier setbacks.
