disbelief and anger. After learning the content of the General Budgets in the business circles of the province of Alicante, this feeling settled. Insecurity because they think it is not possible to go lower in terms of investment, and anger because they think this neglect limits the growth opportunities of this region and is too much. However, patience against this cruelty has exceeded its limit, so that call for mobilization to demand fair treatment from the central government. But, yes, in a climate of division, because CEV Alicante and Uepal found a new excuse on this issue to deepen their disagreement, as evidenced by the fact that Joaquín Pérez’s employers had reverse-scheduled a meeting called by José Juan’s organization. Sellés for dealing with the matter.
“Alicante is the forgotten Spain“. Joaquín Pérez, head of CEV Alicante, refers to himself as an “absolute disaster for the state”, referring to some Budgets. And all this in a context that stems from the autonomous leadership of this budget organization, Alicante in the Community in absolute terms and per capita admits to being the biggest victim. 160.9 million compared to 169.2 in Castellón and 939 in Valencia.
Uepal president José Juan Sellés regrets that the central government has limited itself to budgeting investments that have not been made this year. infrastructures such as the railway connection with the airport remain in the air and even others that he deems necessary anyway, such as a third lane on the highway between Alicante and Valencia. And all this in a context where the state does not hesitate to mock regional employers for its assertive reluctance to defend its interests.
At this point, it becomes clear that even a problem as serious as the abuse that this region is exposed to at the budget level cannot unite both organizations that continue to interfere in its internal affairs. Evidence of this is that CEV Alicante, in a statement critical of the Budgets, announced that it is convening an extraordinary board of directors next Tuesday at 16:00 to specifically deal with the serious situation created. But it soon turned out that Uepal was doing the same thing, but in this case at 10 a.m. Monday morning. And what was the reaction? CEV has decided to change the meeting date to Monday. and in a new demonstration of the struggle for the prominent share between both business organizations while Uepal will do so.
In the midst of this conflict, Carlos Baño, president of the Chamber of Commerce, is showing his support for CEV by showing support for both the institution he heads and this employer. will lead civil society At the budget level, “trying to resolve a dramatic situation” is attributed, among other things, to a lack of consensus among the business community. In fact, in addition to the Alicante Public Works Federation (FOPA) and the Ineca Institute, a meeting between these two organizations is scheduled for next Thursday. Preparing the scheduled meeting with the Government’s Secretary-General for InfrastructuresXavier Flores will claim pending investments for the province.
To be sure, FOPA president Javier Gisbert does not hesitate to describe the province’s communication deficits and budget estimates to be at the bottom once again, while Ineca president Nacho describes it as “madness”. Amirola claims Alicante’s future is “buried by the Government and its Budget”.
They agree with the rest of the industry representatives, they completely agree on this. Toni Mayor, president of the Hosbec hotels association, thinks it’s necessary a general mobilization before the recession of politicians, “no matter what color they are”, Jesualdo Ros, secretary of housing supporters, speaks of a common front. Alicante metal head Luis Rodriguez points to “full-fledged marginalization,” as does marble chief David Beltrá, who calls for unity. Shoe president Marián Cano considers this an “injustice”, while regional textile representative Pepe Serna criticizes that “Alicante is always hurt”. and Maite Antón of the family business, calling the situation “unacceptable”.
