Alicante’s provincial administration reopened today with seven standing information commissions established. These bodies are where most work happens after the General Assembly and the Board of Directors. By proxy Toni Pérez, the agreement among political formations sets the delegation at seven deputies from the PP, four from the PSOE, one from Compromís, and the remaining seat from Vox. This mirrors the current political balance the council seeks to manage with clarity and accountability. These commissions will shape policy debate, oversight, and strategic planning across the key sectors that define the region’s governance.

Toni Pérez’s legislature begins with no agreement with PSOE on advisors and salaries
The President of the Provincial Assembly, Toni Pérez, aligned the presidency of all commissions with the government team when the People’s Group holds an absolute majority. The vice chairmanships of the permanent commissions were allocated to deputies from the Socialist group. This arrangement balances party influence with functional leadership to sustain stable governance across the body. Cited from Alicante Provincial Council official communications.
In assigning responsibilities, the PP positioned the vice-presidency offices with the natural owners of the posts. Marina Sáez will oversee the Finance, General Administration and Human Capital Commission. Loreto Serrano, the Deputy for Social Aid, will chair the Commission corresponding to her field, and the Culture and Sports Commission will be led by the Culture and Sports head, Juan de Dios Navarro.

Meanwhile, the Deputy for Infrastructures, Antonio José Bernabeu, will chair the Infrastructure, Road and Water Cycle Commission. The Environment and Energy Saving Commission will be led by Magdalena Martínez, who oversees that sector, and the Economic Development and Productive Sectors Commission will be chaired by Carlos Pastor, a deputy delegate from Alcoy.

Finally, the Deputy Responsible for Innovation and Document Management, David Intermédio, will head the Procurement, Innovation and Digital Agenda body. The arrangement shows a practical approach to assigning duties that align with the deputies’ areas of expertise, with the goal of delivering results for residents.
