Alicante Les Naus housing scandal investigation

Overview

The ‘Les Naus’ housing scandal in Alicante involves allegations that protected housing units within the development were distributed to associates of the ruling People’s Party. Specific individuals mentioned in the controversy include former Urban Planning Councilor Rocío Gómez and relatives of the current Head of Contracting, María Pérez-Hickman.

During a City Council plenary session, Mayor Luis Barcala faced questioning from opposition members of the PSOE and Compromís regarding transparency and the distribution of these units. The Mayor declined to answer specific questions, deferring responsibility to Villar.

Following these developments, an investigation commission was established to evaluate the municipal government’s actions. However, the political party Vox has criticized the conclusion of this commission, claiming it failed to meet its objectives. Vox representatives stated that the process was hindered by missing documentation and a refusal by officials to testify, arguing the investigation closed leaving “more doubts” than answers.
