El Party de Dénia is still immersed in its pre-campaign agenda to learn about the concerns of different groups and associations in the city. This morning it was the turn of Aprosdeco, with whom they have met accompanied by the mayor of Benidorm and president of the PP of the province of Alicante, Toni Pérez. But not only has he come for said appointment, but he has taken the opportunity to show his support for the mayor's project Pepa Font for the capital of the Marina Alta.
The popular leader in Dénia has been very grateful to the presence of Pérez, from whom she has affirmed that much can be learned regarding the management of a tourist municipality. Although he has marked distances, assuming that Dénia does not share the same model of tourism or growth, he does not deny at any time that he feels a certain envy for the creation of events as media and important at a national level as the Benidorm Fest.
But his project, with which he seeks to achieve the Mayor's Office of Dénia on 28M, is currently focused on small things that "put Dénia where it has to be: at the top," said Font. He assumes that it is a challenge to head the list of the PP in the city because he appreciates that there is a lot of work ahead.
Sustainability, but not only in terms of the environment
The first brushstrokes that are known of the aforementioned project, since neither the list with which it will be presented nor the program has yet been made public, indicate that the sustainability proposals will have special weight. Although not in use. They insist that they do not leave aside what is commonly identified with the word, but they also talk about economic and social sustainability.
Economically, he assumes that Dénia cannot be focused only on tourism even if he lives on it, but he has not investigated much more in this regard. Yes in what they call social sustainability, where they include everything from quality of life and urban to mobility. Sustainable mobility, they stressed. And what is this sustainable mobility? Everything seems to indicate that it is focused on facilitating access to the center of Dénia, even if it has to be opened to traffic.
Project to open the center
«We have the center of Dénia closed tightly. It cannot be, "criticized the Dianense leader. The PP, as she advanced, has an alternative proposal to the complete closure, which is excessively reminiscent of what we knew before the pandemic, with some slight alteration. The first thing he has pointed out is that loading and unloading will be allowed. But it has also suggested a schedule during the week in which it will be possible to circulate through Marqués de Campo. And park. The difference is that your bet is for a road traffic at 10 kilometers per hour. With this, he points out, shopping could be done in the Market without carrying weight or bringing people with reduced mobility closer to their homes. It would remain closed, yes, in high season. A way to “help economic sustainability without ruining trade and the Mercat”.
This would be accompanied by the creation of safe public car parks in good condition, policies to encourage the use and rental of bicycles, placement of charging points for electric cars and promotion of public transport.
Criticism of the PSPV
Pepa Font is presented as the alternative to PSPV, putting them at all times as their rival to beat. "Dénia has been stagnant during the eight years of Grimalt's government," criticized the popular, adding that "only progress has been made in the creation of the Ciudad Creativa brand", in which the PP candidate has been involved . Toni Pérez has insinuated the same, defending that Font has been «one of the people who has promoted many of the things that Dénia has consolidated. Of the only ones."
