These are three of the main issues that the PSPV is using as a battering ram to criticize the Generalitat’s budgets for next year when it comes to the province of Alicante.

Costa will increase. Blanca said, “When the promotion is carried out under the umbrella of Turisme Comunitat Valenciana. “We don’t know if this is about returning favors to Mazón.”
With all this, Villar wonders what kind of economic model the new autonomous government has and expresses his concerns. intended to return to what is described as “brick”referring to the fact that “they promised it would be a residential legislature, but as far as we see it is only a private legislature.”
Finally, Mayte García criticized that the Vega Renace plan, supported by Botànic for the recovery of Vega Baja after the 2019 DANA, has almost disappeared from the budgets and that there is a “total lack of definition” regarding it. What will happen to the Alicante intermodal station?
