Granada political leaders raise concerns over infrastructure and management

The PSOE municipal group in Granada has raised several concerns regarding regional infrastructure and public facility management. Raquel Ruz, the group spokesperson, criticized the Junta de Andalucía for allocating zero euros toward the technical projects and execution of the Metro de Granada Line 2. She highlighted a perceived disparity in funding, noting that while Granada receives no investment for new metro projects, the budget allocates approximately 46 million euros to the expansion of the Malaga metro network.

Separately, the PSOE has expressed uncertainty regarding the future of the Granada Congress Palace. The current management contract is set to expire on December 31, and officials have yet to formalize an alternative. Eduardo Castillo, the socialist vice-spokesperson, noted that the administrative process for a new concession has faced delays, including a previous expiration in May 2024. Castillo suggested that direct management by the Congress Palace Consortium could be a potential solution to ensure the facility remains operational and to protect its scheduled programming.
