Sueña Torrevieja has announced a shift in its strategy regarding the long-awaited duplication of the N-332 road, calling for united political action and warning of potential street protests if the Ministry of Transport fails to respond.
The local political group, which has spent years proposing initiatives to unblock the infrastructure project, now aims to increase political and institutional pressure, turning the road duplication into a unified demand for the entirety of Torrevieja.
Pablo Samper, spokesperson for Sueña Torrevieja, has proposed that all municipal political groups establish a joint position and travel alongside the mayor to directly demand a concrete commitment from the Ministry. He stated that the debate has reached a point where new declarations, letters, and accusations between administrations are no longer sufficient.
“We have been saying for a long time that this situation cannot be prolonged any further. That is why we welcome any initiative calling for the duplication, but we believe the time has come to raise the stakes,” Samper said. “If we all agree that the N-332 is a priority, let us stop showing it separately. Let us all go together and demand the same thing.”
For Sueña Torrevieja, this demand must include verifiable commitments rather than mere declarations of intent. They are asking for three simple things: dates, funding, and works. Samper emphasised that Torrevieja needs a schedule that will be met, rather than more announcements.
Samper also argued that the ongoing conflict between the PP and PSOE regarding the road has failed to resolve the issue. He noted that residents of Torrevieja have been left trapped on the same road while political parties blame one another depending on who is governing in Madrid. He added that Sueña Torrevieja does not have to defend the Government of Spain or justify any major party, as its sole loyalty is to Torrevieja.
To move forward, Samper has outlined a common roadmap:
- An immediate meeting of all municipal groups and a joint request for a meeting with the Ministry.
- Securing a clear, written schedule for the tendering and execution of the necessary works.
If there are still no concrete answers after these steps, Sueña Torrevieja proposes a third option: a large-scale citizen mobilisation with street protests.
Samper was clear that any such mobilisation should not belong to Sueña Torrevieja, the PP, the PSOE, or any other party, but rather to Torrevieja as a whole. He proposed inviting neighbourhood associations, business owners, merchants, the hospitality sector, social groups, and citizens to participate jointly.
“First we are going to offer unity. But unity cannot become another excuse to wait six more months. If Madrid does not respond, Torrevieja will have to make itself heard,” Samper added.
He concluded that after so many years, Torrevieja no longer needs explanations about who was to blame, but simply needs to know when the works will begin.
