Headed by Carlos Mazón, the Generalitat will change the way its buildings in Alicante approach the Botanical scene. In the final months of Ximo Puig’s term, the Presidency The old post office building in Gabriel Miro square and the headquarters of the Ministry of Innovation at that time Witches HouseNow it will be the opposite. In other words, the building on Avenida Doctor Gadea will house the Presidential headquarters, while the old Post Office building will be the location of the macro department of the new Ministry of Innovation, Industry, Trade and Tourism headed by Nuria Montes.
This decision is not the result of a whim, as the regional administration stated. One of the main reasons for the transfer decision is that the ministry currently has about eighty officials working in Ciudad de la Luz. These staff are forced to leave the premises of the cinema complex, and due to space constraints, their best location is the one the postal company vacated after a century of occupation. On the other hand, it is thought that the location of the office will be determined. President Mazon In Alicante and Consell delegate Agustina Esteve, as well as the staff attached to the delegation and the Generalitat Prosecutor’s Office, the facilities as in Casa de las Brujas are adequate and sufficient.
Next steps

Parallel to this, the transfer of current officials took place. City of LightFor this, it will be necessary to adapt the new space they will occupy. Generalitat’s aim is for these personnel to be able to start their new duties within two or three months, considering the early phases of 2024 next year. In this context, it should also be taken into account: There are areas in the Gabriel Miró building that are still under construction and some installations such as air conditioning are not fully completed.
One of the remaining doubts about this change Generalitat buildings in Alicante It is at the end of the last month of March to know if the old Post Office building, which will now be occupied by the Ministry, will continue to be used for exhibitions and celebration of events of a social nature, as Botànic’s purpose was when the dependencies were launched. Sources from Generalitat state that the first thing to do is to conduct a study of space availability and see how Nuria Montes department officials will be distributed. After this is done, it will be known whether it is possible to open an exhibition inside the building. Finally, another of the arguments in favor of this movement is that the daily presence of the ministry’s eighty officials is certain to help revitalize the central district of Gabriel Miró.

In Puig’s final months as president, the Generalitat opted to relocate its Presidency headquarters to the former Post Office building in Alicante, leaving behind the Casa de las Brujas, which later became the Presidency headquarters.
