The businessman Benito Mestre Caudeli has been elected, this Wednesday afternoon, as the new president of the Cercle d'Empresaris de la Marina Alta (CEDMA), unanimously by the 32 people who have participated in the election of the position.
Mestre's was the only candidacy presented, so there were no surprises in the election. The new president takes over from Sonja Dietz, that after eight years in the presidency of the CEDMA is removed from office "to open the door to new sap and another generation". In his farewell message, Dietz has asked the new president "To continue working on the project to grow and expand throughout the region". The former president has received a long and affectionate applause from the audience at the end of her speech.
Before the vote, Benito Mestre has explained in broad strokes the project he will work on in the next four years, which includes "Open more to the region to have more strength, create more synergies and collaborations with other municipalities". Mestre has stressed that, in addition to reclaiming historic infrastructures such as the train or the liberalization of the AP7, they will fight for the creation of a technological park and an industrial estate at a regional level.
The new president has placed special emphasis on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that mark the 2030 agenda, aligning their proposals with these objectives. From their point of view, employers have an obligation to "defend the sustainable growth of the economy" besides committing to the environment.
In this sense, Mestre has claimed that "All sectors of the economy are necessary. We must find a way to integrate them all and create a tourism offer that creates employment, wealth, fosters agriculture and protects the landscape".
After the voting process, Mestre has announced the five commissions that will be worked on, beginning with the one of Institutional relations and regional development, by Ángel Vives. The commission of Industry will be in charge of Rosario Carrió; the one Territory and Sustainability, by Jesús Reina; Isabel Agulles will take care of Tourism and Commerce and Antonio Cidoncha, of Training and Employment.
