Sueña Torrevieja has voted in favour of the initial approval of Torrevieja’s 2026 municipal budget, following the inclusion of several of its electoral and policy proposals. The group described its support as “responsible and vigilant”, rather than a “blank cheque”.
“We have ensured that this budget reflects real, achievable proposals from Sueña Torrevieja — ideas designed to improve our city,” said spokesperson Pablo Samper. “We will continue to scrutinise every euro spent.”
Among the key measures included are the comprehensive renovation of the Vicente García Stadium, financial support for families purchasing school materials, and improvements to accessibility, including adapted traffic lights for people with reduced mobility.
Samper explained that the positive vote was a decision made “with common sense and in the general interest”.
“Beyond political colours or party loyalties, what matters most are programme agreements that benefit people. When our proposals are incorporated and help to transform the city, the responsible action is to allow them to go forward,” he said.
The spokesperson stressed that Sueña Torrevieja remains a constructive, results-driven opposition that will “monitor the execution of the budget” and demand transparency and efficiency from the local government.
Main proposals from Sueña Torrevieja included in the 2026 budget:
- Comprehensive renovation of the Vicente García Stadium, a key symbol of local sport.
- Redevelopment of Parque de la Estación and the Ruta Salinera, creating a major green corridor and sustainable tourism attraction.
- Urban beautification and full resurfacing of the town centre.
- A study into pedestrianising the central area, to promote local commerce and sustainable mobility.
- Aid for the purchase of school materials, supporting Torrevieja’s families.
- Accessibility improvements and adapted traffic lights for people with disabilities.
- A dedicated budget allocation for the memorial monolith honouring the victims of the 1938 bombing.
- Increased subsidies for parent–teacher associations (AMPAs) to strengthen educational participation.
Samper stated that these measures are part of the group’s long-term vision for a “modern, sustainable, accessible and human Torrevieja.”
“Our support does not mean complacency,” he continued. “We will be vigilant throughout the year, monitoring implementation, reviewing the 2025 budget settlement, and ensuring compliance with spending limits. What’s approved must be delivered — not left on paper.”
The Sueña Torrevieja leader also recalled that his group remains the only local and independent political force to have representation in three consecutive legislatures, demonstrating “the public’s appreciation for serious work, coherence and the defence of local interests above partisan politics.”
“Torrevieja needs less confrontation and more serious, practical work. Sueña Torrevieja will always be ready for dialogue when it serves the common good — and will raise its voice when promises are broken or public funds are misused. Our only loyalty is to Torrevieja,” concluded Samper.
