The lack of technical staff in Urban Planning delays hundreds of construction permits in Alicante by months

The delay in obtaining major construction permits in Alicante has been a constant in recent times, which developers and professionals in the construction sector denounce wherever they find interlocutors. This happened at a recent technical conference organized by the Colleges of Architects and Technical Architects together with representatives from the Urban Planning Department.

The independence movement is rallying to come back stronger in 2027

Although far from the massive marches of the procés period, the independence movement showed strength again this Friday and was able to gather 57,000 people in the three demonstrations held in Barcelona, Girona, and Amposta –16,000 more than last year– under the slogan “Hi soc.

Responding to questions from the press shortly before his rally in North Carolina, the president described the proposal to make his neighboring country the first “associate member” of the EU as “ridiculous” and a “hostile act” towards the U.S.
