An allocation of 1.6 billion dollars for Alicante by the central government was defended after a Friday meeting in the city, where Pilar Bernabé, the PSPV-PSOE deputy general secretary and Valencian Community Executive Delegate, and Alejandro Soler, the PSPV-PSOE deputy and provincial general secretary, outlined key projects. The gathering, attended by deputies and senators, highlighted investments such as the Torrellano bypass, the La Encina interchange, and the Torrevieja desalination facility as emblematic examples of the plan to strengthen the province’s infrastructure.

Bernabé asserted that the central government has earmarked funds for Alicante, noting figures that she described as historic within the current legislature. She argued that the investment underscores the Spanish Government’s commitment to strategic infrastructure in rail, road, and water networks. The deputy general secretary emphasized that the province had previously been overlooked in budget allocations, and she framed these funds as a turning point that would boost regional growth and connectivity.

During the discussion on distribution of resources, Bernabé highlighted several projects: 750 million for the La Encina interchange, 117 million to improve connections between Xàtiva and Alcoy, and 70 million allocated to the Torrevieja desalination plant. She stated after the Alicante socialist meeting that the government has positioned the province as a driving force in Spain’s economy. This framing reflects a broader narrative about regional stimulus driven by national leadership.

The PSPV-PSOE general secretary, Alejandro Soler, conveyed his outlook, arguing that the Pedro Sánchez administration remains committed to a series of investments designed to address longstanding needs. He noted that recent months have seen investment totals surpass 500 million, with significant progress along the Mediterranean Corridor where about 80 percent of the route is already under construction. Soler also referred to completed works that had been left unfinished in the past, underlining the importance of finishing essential projects and ensuring agricultural and water infrastructure, including the Júcar-Vinalopó initiative, delivers tangible benefits to irrigators and rural communities.

In closing, Soler affirmed that the government is keeping its promises and coordinating with regional leaders to ensure future projects come to fruition. He stressed that the forthcoming budgets should mirror the province’s needs, reinforcing a shared commitment to sustainable growth and public service improvements across Alicante.
