In May, the Huesca City Council decided to close El Alcoraz immediately because it did not have a license

A very harsh decision, coming from the decree signed by the previous mayor, socialist Luis Felipe, twelve days before the municipal and regional elections held last May, led to the club’s He did not even object administratively. Despite The current Government, led by Lorena Orduna’s PP, assures that this will not be realized “for now” This mandate from the previous legislature and the current state of the football field is disorderly and illegal, and City Planning knows it. And the club has been since last May 18th.

The decision of the city council is “final” Because the Mayor’s decree was clearly stated on May 16 and “was notified to Sociedad Deportiva Huesca on May 18, 2023, without any administrative objection or administrative lawsuit being filed against the said decision within the relevant periods.” This is stated in the city council’s letter responding to the club’s request,It was launched last October 6 and was presented by the organization’s director, José Luis Ortas Pérez.It calls for the initiation of the urban planning process to achieve the above-mentioned l.It is requested that the stadium be allowed to open and become operational and that the “injunction to postpone the Mayor’s decision” be accepted It was signed in May.

A request no longer acceptable to the council is now led by the mayor’s PP Lorena Orduna. It responds to a chain of errors that are difficult to explain for various reasons. For example, In May, an extraordinary application for reconsideration was filed, which was now “provisional” and was already “non-existent” at that time.. And municipal technicians declare their opposition to decisions such as Luis Felipe’s decree ““Only objection appeals and the option to amend are possible.” According to the Law on Common Administrative Procedure of Public Administrations 39/2015. There is no formula to stop this type of order.

It is understood that this is only possible by applying for extraordinary review, so this may be due to a reason. “Error in grading the text” is employed by the sports institution. However, he submitted an objection of this kind, to which the city council replied that it was “not based on any of the reasons specified in Article 125.1 of Law 39/2015” and also contained in the club’s letter. “He doesn’t even mention any of it.” Therefore, the precautionary suspension of the cessation of activity requested by SD Huesca has also now become unacceptable.

Possible “loss” and “irreparable” damage

With this strong response of the municipality to the party’s claims, many issues become clear. First, with this By decision of Luis Felipe, the stadium was supposed to be closed in Mayand has never played a match before: last season he played one official match against Eibar and in the current campaign he has played seven official matches. Secondly, this authority of the consortium It comes at its worst and causes damage that is “impossible or difficult to repair” and perhaps fatal to their own livelihood.

SD Huesca says this in the letter Ortas sent to the city council: El Alcoraz stadium, General Regulation Professional Football League, Both League One and League Two competitions are classified as general interest; stadium closure It will make it impossible for fans to enter the stadium and will result in a three-point penalty. by relevant organizations; Continuation of the closure will result in immediate expulsion from the competition, resulting in the disappearance and losses of SD Huesca SAD. close to 7 million euros; It will affect more than 200 indirect employees in addition to a number of workers performing their duties on match days”.

Scenario presented to the server club disasterhe describes this himself, going so far as to suggest: “All this will lead to the closure of the stadium and the immediate introduction of a stadium.” “The competition for its liquidation removes any hint that the city of Huesca has a professional team.”

However, the city council’s reaction is not moderate, quite the opposite. He even goes so far as to state: “First of all, it must be said that the situation created was mainly due to the inaction of SD Huesca SAD and was responsible for the non-submission of the necessary documents at that time.”

Regarding the damages intended by the organisation, the council replied that this economic damage was not justified or proven, although it acknowledged that the closure would have “very significant” consequences, but added: “suspension of the execution of the law (the law could very seriously affect the public interest due to this obligation of the city council) ” was concluded. Monitor compliance with regulations and ensure the safety and well-being of citizens“He therefore concludes that the safety of his thousands of spectators has been compromised and“The environmental license that is truly required is the one that verifies firefighting measures, evacuation of people, emergency exits, etc.” taken into account, is greater than the economic damage to the organization.

unacceptable sources

For all these reasons, Deputy Mayor for Urban Planning Iván Rodríguez signed this current decision, according to which the objections presented by SD Huesca are unacceptable and municipal services are transferred to the municipality. Launch the file to get a stadium license. However, the stadium’s current status remains illegal; After hosting matches indoors for half a century and playing in the First League for two seasons, there is a definitive decision to close. We even increased the capacity of the stadium to 9,100 spectators. In fact, in its first campaign in 2018, efforts were made to comply with the conditions requested by La Liga, and in its second season, another reform was carried out that increased the amount invested in La Liga in 2021. 15 million euros. It is assumed that these were done with municipal permission.

In this case, SD Huesca’s defense is based entirely on responsible disclosure, a tool used by many organizations, small and large. starting operations without obtaining this license, which now means immediate closure of El Alcoraz. In this case, the organization submitted it after the previous municipal administration requested it in May, but did so “without attaching a technical report on the subject.” This is the reason for the inaction that municipal technicians are now talking about to remind the club that it must close the stadium. Not insignificantly, a privately owned football field.
