Accountability vs. Apathy.
In a company, when errors occur, the causes are investigated, and the breakdown in the process is analysed. The process is then adjusted to prevent the mistakes from happening again. This is typically addressed immediately. If the error is determined to be due to human error, those responsible may be held accountable and disciplined, depending on the context and the extent of the damage to the business.
In a government, such as the one in Orihuela, when an error occurs—a fairly common occurrence—it is often the case that no one takes responsibility or even acknowledges the mistake. Discussions about who is to blame rarely happen, and there is typically no effort to address what needs to be improved in the communication process to prevent similar issues in the future.
Orihuela continues to repeat the same mistakes, and with each repetition, it seems they become more adept at mismanagement. Most strikingly, no one is held accountable—there are no consequences, no discipline, only rewards. This is nepotism and favouritism in full force. Amid this chaos, incompetence often lies at the heart of the problem.
The real issue within the town hall is that the few intelligent voices—a clear minority—are riddled with doubt, while the majority, lacking insight or foresight, are brimming with misplaced confidence. What they fail to understand is the crucial importance of learning from the past to create a better future.
The past is unchangeable, and while the future is unwritten, for Orihuela, it seems like a foregone conclusion: the town will never change.
It’s time to abandon any hope that figures like Vegara, Mestre, or others will truly listen to or care about the voices of the Coast. Time and again, they have let the people down and betrayed their voters.
Expecting disappointment has become the norm because, sadly, disappointment is inevitable. Honesty, integrity, and accountability—values that should define any government—have been discarded by an arrogant majority.
Vegara and Mestre excel at making promises, presenting flashy facts and figures, but they consistently fail to deliver on anything substantial.
Frustration is growing rapidly among Spanish residents, who are increasingly disillusioned with the local government’s inability to address pressing issues. Non-Spanish residents, who contribute to the area and pay their taxes, also share this discontent as they watch the once-beautiful Orihuela Costa fall into decline.
The town hall risks destroying the very essence of Orihuela Costa—the “goose that lays the golden egg.” It’s time to rise above the lies and demand change. The only way to make Orihuela Costa great and beautiful again is through collective action.
If we don’t challenge the lies, they will eventually become the truth.
