The president of Chamber Orihuela, Mario Martinez, lamented, after the meeting organized today in La Encina by the Valencian Association of Entrepreneurs with the aim of checking the status of the works of the Mediterranean Corridor, that Alicante “is the province most affected in the of a project that involves an investment of 22,000 million euros “. Martínez believes that it is not acceptable to be left out of an infrastructure “called to unite territories and to enable the entry and exit of goods at the Airport, the Industrial Park of Elche, the Port of Alicante, the Alicantina Fair Institution or Benidorm”.
That is why he has insisted on the need for the province to “show its leadership and make us listen together so that the Mediterranean Corridor is as beneficial for the economy of Alicante as it will be for other regions.” The president of the cameral institution oriolana has said that he subscribes “to one hundred percent the speech of the president of Coepa, Francisco Gómez, who has warned that the tourist and industrial areas of Alicante and the south of the province are outside the Corridor, without project or budget to join them together, a situation caused by the lack of leadership and unity in our province “which also advocates the cameral Oriolan.
Cámara Orihuela has supported from the first moment the development of the Mediterranean Corridor as a possibility to grow for the economy not only of the province, but of all the Spanish Levante “complementing the current radial railway layout with its main axis in Madrid with a layout circular that provides service to the Mediterranean area “. That is why his president considers that now is the time “to lay the foundations so that in the future we do not have to complain about being left out.” As an example, he has put the work done from the Vega Baja by different city councils and business associations among which is Camera Orihuela so that the region “does not stay out” and can count on a merchandise exchanger, the so-called Activity Zone Logistics in the surroundings of the municipality of San Isidro “that must be executed at the same time as the Corridor”, has concluded.
