Torrevieja Deserves More!

to give a 180 degree turn to the Torrevieja city model.

It was the turn of the Partido Popular in Pilar de la Horadada on Saturday evening as José María Pérez Sánchez introduced the team responsible for implementing the electoral program over the next 4 years.

Under the slogan #CuentoContigo, José María promised a multipurpose building in Torre de la Horadada, a Multi adventure park in Pinar de Campoverde, and an increase in the budget for grants/scholarships at all educational levels. He spoke of improvements for the intercity bus service, an overnight parking area for motorhomes, new bike lanes connecting the interior with the coast, more security cameras and improved sports facilities, even on the beach.

Marina Sáez, No2 on the PP list, said that the party will govern using "objective criteria and with transparency in all their actions, clear priorities without violating private interest, and always working for the people of Pilar”.

No3, Ángel Albaladejo announced that "Pilar de la Horadada is again in fashion" because residents of Campoamor and Mojón de San Pedro want to come and live in the town, wondering if it is because "suppliers have their invoices settled in 11 days, and the banks pay the council about 200,000 euros a year for fixed-term interest. He also noted that the Popular Party has distributed a little over 4 million euros in consumer bonds to more than 200 businesses.

José María told the gathering that many of the major demands in the town have been resolved, such as security cameras, ambulances in Pinar de Campoverde and Torre de la Horadada, and air conditioners in all schools. He said that the party will not promise the earth because it does not have "a magic wand" but party members commit to working tirelessly "to improve the lives of all Pilareños."

He concluded by saying that the "only pact he has signed is with the people" and that he will work "with both his head and heart."

"For everything that matters" and "Torrevieja deserves more" are the slogans for the Los Verdes 2023 election campaign in Torrevieja.

Last week the green party presented their brochures, posters, merchandise and electoral slogans.

We have opted to promote the new candidates as our images of the campaign, as well as adapting the traditional green and yellow colours that have given identity to Los Verdes de Torrevieja since its creation, they say in a statement.

In addition, the "Torrevieja 2030" project has been made public, with which the party intends ìFaced with toasts to the sun, virtual mega models, pharaonic projects and a return to a city model that has expired, Los Verdes have made a new proposal that is committed to the well-being of peopleî explained the campaign manager and candidate for Corts Valencianas, Tamara MartÌnez LidÛn.

The campaign slogan is "Torrevieja deserves more", since, in the words of Tamara MartÌnez ìThis city is very used to settling for an out-ofdate model and it must be rethought, for this reason we introduce the idea that Torrevieja deserves more, not only from our politicians, but also from the people, to aspire to that change in a city model that will turn it into a modern, friendly, sustainable city, well prepared for the 21st centuryî.

The motto of the regional campaign will be "For everything that matters", since "we are tired of appealing to flags, anthems and symbolic themes in the campaign to avoid talking about what really matters, which is having a good waste collection, quality public services, aid for access to housing and everything that is not talked about but that really worries the publicî concluded LidÛn.

Why the Local Elections are important to you!

In the 2019 municipal elections

Orihuela Costa failed to elect any representatives, the effects of which have been disastrous for the area, as the coast continues to be starved of the most basic of essential services that are considered fundamental to Spanish life. This is despite the area having a population far greater than that of the City of Orihuela. The reason is quite simple; when it comes to locally elected representatives, the Pedanias consistently return many of their own residents as Councillors. This situation has resulted in pedanias with populations as low as 2 or 3,000 receiving far superior public services, and a much larger proportion of the budget, at the cost of Orihuela Costa, POP33,000, despite their limited populations.

Politically, certainly in the eyes of our Orihuela based leaders, the Orihuela Costa simply doesnít exist, except as a source of income, but to a large part the fault is our own.

In the 2019 municipal elections, of the 7,300 registered voters on the coast only 2,300 actually turned out to vote. That is why the town of Orihuela Costa is in such a lamentable situation.

The public spending, solely in the hands of Orihuela politicians, is allocated to Orihuela City and itís pedanias, very much to the detriment of the residents living in Orihuela Costa, who must shoulder the burden of their finances.

Without sufficient representation this situation will unfortunately continue which is why those who are able to do so must begin to appreciate that is only by casting your vote for PIOC that we will achieve Councillors on the coast who will fight to improve the situation for residents of Orihuela Costa, therefore we appeal to you all, individuals, associations, groups and businesses to join with us, all intent on achieving that one common goal.
