The local political group SUEÑA TORREVIEJA has denounced what it describes as a “worryingly low” level of progress in investment projects announced by the Partido Popular (PP) during the current municipal term. According to spokesperson Pablo Samper, only 12% of the €153 million investment budget is currently in execution.
The figures, based on official records from the month of June 2025, reveal that just five of the eight projects classified as “underway” have any approved progress certifications. Of those, the average rate of execution is just 15.5%, far below what had been publicly claimed.
“Once again, reality has overtaken the propaganda,” Samper stated. “While the mayor publicly claimed a 30% execution rate, the actual documentation tells a very different story.”
Among the most concerning examples cited are:
- The primary electrification works at the port, which after three certifications are still only 11.16% complete.
- The Levante breakwater coordination project, linked to the nearby leisure centre, which stands at a mere 4.06%.
- Projects such as the Mínguez dock renovation and the animal shelter remain virtually at a standstill.
Samper also noted with concern that, in June, certifications were approved with a declared value of zero euros for the Hombre del Mar pumping station, indicating that no measurable progress had been made at all.
“This isn’t about a few minor delays—it’s a clear pattern of systemic failure to deliver on promised infrastructure,” he added.
SUEÑA TORREVIEJA is demanding a full and public explanation from the PP-led administration regarding the true status of each project and the verified percentage of works completed to date. “Residents have a right to know how their money is being spent—and why the PP’s headline-grabbing investment plans are turning into empty promises,” Samper concluded.
