Mazón Reaffirms the Consell’s Commitment to Alicante and Emphasises Institutional Cooperation to Secure the Investment and Infrastructure the Province Deserves

 

Alicante | 24 October 2025

 

The President of the Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Mazón, has reaffirmed the Consell’s commitment to the province of Alicante, underlining the close cooperation between the Valencian Government and the Alicante Provincial Council to ensure the region receives the investment and infrastructure it deserves.

 

President Mazón took part in the Alicante Forum entitled “The Provincial Council, alongside our municipalities,” where he introduced the President of the Alicante Provincial Council and Mayor of Benidorm, Toni Pérez.

 

During his address, Mazón stressed that, “for the first time, the Alicante Provincial Council is not alone in the Valencian Community in fighting for the investment and infrastructure our province needs. Both institutions share a vision and work together to defend our territory.”

 

He explained that the Valencian Community should be understood as “a sum of its municipalities — where progress in one area benefits us all.”

 

“Good results for the ceramics industry strengthen the province of Alicante, just as the Tajo–Segura water transfer brings enormous benefits to Valencia,” he added.

 

Mazón emphasised that the objective is not competition between provinces, but cooperation:

“Our Community doesn’t need to grow larger at the expense of others shrinking. We must focus on integration and joint growth.”

 

The President also highlighted the importance of implementing initiatives that foster economic and social development across the Valencian Community through policies that drive investment, job creation, and social cohesion.

 

“A successful tourist season, for example, generates revenue that benefits our hospitals, health centres, schools, and roads,” he noted.

 

Mazón pointed to the collaboration agreement between the Generalitat and the Alicante Provincial Council for the financing and construction of water infrastructure, with an investment of €14.2 million by the Consell, as a concrete example of this joint approach.

 

“We coordinate our efforts rather than compete. A strong province makes for a strong regional government,” he stated.

 

He also highlighted the Generalitat’s support for the Provincial Council’s defence of Alicante’s water resources, particularly the Tajo–Segura transfer, describing it as “the first time a regional government has stood alongside the provincial administration in this fight.”

 

Mazón concluded by outlining several key infrastructure priorities identified through this institutional cooperation, including the expansion of the Marina Baixa and San Bartolomé hospitals, as well as the widening of the CV-95 highway.

 

“These are strategic investments that strengthen not only Alicante but the entire Valencian Community,” he affirmed.
