Cs presents Alicante’s definitive list: seven independents in the top ten

Alicante is approaching municipal elections with a carefully crafted program that leaves room for strategic alliance changes after the vote. The Liberal Party, led by Adrián Santos Pérez, outlines a vision for the city that emphasizes clear boundaries and non-negotiable red lines. The message is simple: partnerships may shift, but certain lines won’t be crossed, especially when it comes to governance and a steady course for the city’s future.

In the weeks ahead of voting, the current partner, the People’s Party, remains a pivotal player in the administration, just as it did in 2019. The political landscape appears poised for another decisive moment in Alicante, with Ciudadanos signaling openness to collaboration with PSOE while keeping Vox at arm’s length. The focus remains on a pragmatic, multi-party approach rather than a rigid, two-party standoff.

Adrián Santos Pérez, who continues to serve as a city planning councilor, stresses that the party aims to reaffirm past gains and to build on them through the next term. The proposed lineup seeks to leverage experience gained in previous administrations to steer the city’s development. Pérez explains that the main objective is not to seize everything at once, but to align long-term plans with the city’s real needs and capabilities. The strategy includes a willingness to negotiate with various groups while maintaining essential non-negotiables that safeguard prudent governance.

From Pérez’s perspective, the door is open to reconsidering preferred partner arrangements, recognizing that Alicante’s political map could shift the balance away from a simple PP-PSPV dichotomy. Ciudadanos presents a viable path with a coherent program and clear city-focused objectives. The party emphasizes that there are red lines that prohibit extreme or unilateral decisions, a stance designed to promote stability and steady progress rather than abrupt policy swings.

The campaign centers on strategic lines that span across different sectors. The spokesperson frames the candidacy as rooted in tangible references from tourism, housing, culture, and sports, with professional experience guiding governance. The aim is to manage Alicante with a governance approach that taps into the expertise of professionals and community voices alike.

The plan is built on active listening to associations and neighborhood groups that convey diverse needs from across the city. The candidacy stresses realism, acknowledging that not everything can be delivered immediately. Instead, it proposes a thoughtful sequence of initiatives, distinguishing between items that can be planned and those that will be carried out as circumstances allow. The idea is to set clear milestones and maintain a realistic timeline for city improvements as different administrations come and go.

“A project born from listening to residents” is how the campaign frames its approach, highlighting a commitment to respond to the real concerns of neighborhoods. The strategy combines ambition with practicality, presenting a roadmap that prioritizes feasible actions while keeping room for longer-term developments under future governments.

Ultimately, the plan seeks to broaden participation and transparency in Alicante’s public life, moving beyond episodic changes in local leadership to deliver consistent progress. The emphasis remains on responsible budgeting, accountable administration, and a collaborative approach that involves citizens in shaping the city’s future.

Ciudadanos aims to hit the mark with concrete deals and measurable results. The leadership team wires a focus on cultural renewal, sport and leisure facilities, and urban planning that supports a modern, accessible city. The vision extends to investments in different neighborhoods and a balanced approach to citywide development. The coastal corridor is highlighted as a backbone project that ties together urban planning with social and economic vitality, ensuring an inclusive growth model for Alicante. The message: a city that thrives when neighborhoods are treated with equal consideration and opportunities are shared broadly. [Citation: local electoral platform]
