The Town Council of Torrevieja has allocated funding to complete the White Pavilion sports facility, which has been left unfinished since two thousand eleven. The project was initially budgeted at one hundred forty-seven thousand euros in two thousand twenty, but costs have escalated to over one million two hundred forty-five thousand euros as of February two thousand twenty-five. Critics from the political group Sueña Torrevieja blame the ruling Partido Popular for this increase, citing negligence.

Pablo Samper, spokesman for Sueña Torrevieja, highlighted that the project exemplifies poor governance and lack of transparency, asserting that the costs have multiplied by eight point five times the original estimate. Samper described this situation as a failure not only of administration but also of accountability to the citizens of Torrevieja, who remain burdened by wasted taxpayer money.

Samper noted the need for efficient and transparent management of public resources and called on the local government to take responsibility and deliver results. He emphasized that the ongoing modifications and prolonged delays reflect inadequate planning and oversight.

The works to be completed include essential installations such as closures and levelled pavements. A climbing wall, which was not part of the original plan, is also included in the final project. The local council maintains that while these works have taken time, they will ultimately be completed under Mayor Eduardo Dolón’s administration.
