In the PP manifesto announced by the Torrevieja mayor, Eduardo Dolón, on Friday the focus centred year again on initiatives that also featured 4 years ago in the 2019 campaign. They included such projects as the restoration of the Eras de la Sal, the reform of the Los Locos and La Libertad promenades and a commitment to the tourist exploitation of the salt mines

“Putting Torrevieja first”, is a guarantee of the continuity of many of the initiatives, according to  Dolón, who, together with Rosario Martínez Chazarra, number 2 on the electoral list and local party secretary, presented their proposals with the objective of “continuing to advance and transform Torrevieja to continue attracting well-being, quality of life and the generation of employment in a city that is increasingly more enjoyable and accessible.

Dolón’ said that during this mandate, Torrevieja has recovered “the illusion and joy” as well as the “social, economic and institutional recovery” of the city. And he expressly asks voters not to “place Torrevieja in the hands of another new political experiment”, alluding to the left-wing minority government that managed the city between 2015 and 2019.

He spoke of the “strategic” projects, such as the remodelling of the new port on Paseo de la Libertad, Las Eras de la Sal , the remodelling of Paseo de Los Locos, the recovery of La Plasa, and the “project to turn the salt flats into a tourist and health resource.”

Many of the projects were paralysed by the pandemic, but they have not been forgotten and they will soon be moving once again.

In the presentation, a video included some of the most outstanding proposals, “the result of more than 500 Torrevejenses who joined in the work commissions carried out in recent months.”

Among other initiatives, the construction of the Colegio Amanecer, as well as the award of the new Colegio Inmaculada. There is also the port remodelling project, as well as his commitment to establish a railway connection for Torrevieja. He said that he would fight tirelessly so that improvements to the N-332 become a reality.”

He also wants to ensure that health “returns to be a reference at the national level and a guarantee for everybody”, although there was no mention about whether he will fight to recover the indirect management model through a health company.

In all the manifesto contains some 1,500 proposals but only the abbreviated version of approximately 250 initiatives has been published.
