Let's forget about victimhood… this is a private contest… and some bases and everyone has the same opportunities and we talk about art… let's not mix churros with meninas… ..the roundabouts is another issue… ..public money… ..and that circulates in envelopes ..it's just a matter of seeing the address and the sender
As always, the aid money and stories of these are taken by those who are not from the town, as the help of employment improvements of the denia roundabouts is taken by those who are not from the town, so we will never get out of crisis, and denia every time it is more empty
It is considered deteriorated the lot that is in front of the Gas Station Moscardó and that I think is owned by the City ????
