Concerns are growing among residents, particularly those who face displacement, that the project of the city of the sports of Orihuela is serving to be more a political exhibition to satisfy the ego of the mayor and those who cling to the queues of the Shirt, instead of a genuine effort to address the community. needs.
While officials promote the initiative as a great investment in sports and infrastructure, critics argue that prioritizes political legacy over pressing local concerns such as housing and public services. The lack of clear communication of the Council, together with the possible impacts on the affected residents, has only fed skepticism.
Questioning the benefits of the project
The residents of Orihuela Costa, a coastal area 35 kilometers away, question how they will benefit from the multimillionaire development of Euro. Many argue that financing could be better assigned to improve essential services instead of building a distant sports complex.
Unequal investment
Orihuela Costa already suffers from sub -financed public services, which include inappropriate health facilities, limited police presence, collection of poor mails and careless road maintenance. Critics argue that these basic needs must be prioritized before investing in a large -scale sports village.
Political motivations?
The development raises concerns about whether it really serves the community or works as a vanity project for the mayor and other politicians based in Orihuela. While the ambitious infrastructure projects can be beneficial, it seems designed to improve political reputation instead of satisfying real local needs.
Scale and costs
The project includes a football stadium with 8,000 seats, an auditorium of 12,000 people and multiple sports facilities, a huge expense for a city with much more pressing and unresolved infrastructure concerns.
Time and advertising
The mayor and the Council have aggressively promoted the project in the media, which suggests a political agenda instead of a genuine commitment to balanced urban development.
Negligence of Orihuela Costa
While the sports city project advances with the total government support, Orihuela Costa remains without fundamental community facilities, such as a cultural center, library, theater or spaces for meetings for young people. The disparity in investment priorities raises serious questions.
Lack of transparency in financing
Until now, details about the full budget and financing sources still are clear. As we have seen on many previous occasions, large projects without clear financial support often lead to budget excesses or require diverting resources of essential public services. Could this be another?
Is the project justified?
If the Orihuela Sports City was part of a broader and more balanced urban development plan that also provided Orihuela Costa and other neglected areas, it could be easier to justify. However, if it serves mainly as a political legacy project while ignoring the needs of a significant portion of the population, its value is extremely questionable.
Public opinion
What do you think? Is this project a valuable investment for the future, or is it just political theater? Can a balance between the development and real needs of the community be achieved, or is it simply another example of priorities out of place?
