During his visit to Fuerteventura, Torres detailed that the maritime route to Cadiz will once again be declared a Public Service Obligation (PSO). This measure aims to guarantee the continuity of the connection, which had been requested by the island's institutions, including the Cabildo, the six town councils, and the Chamber of Commerce.
The president of the Cabildo, Lola García, presented the minister with an institutional agreement to request the reinstatement of the stop in Fuerteventura and its continuity in future tenders. The state department is already working on a preliminary study for the drafting of new maritime service specifications.
The Chamber of Commerce of Fuerteventura, through its president Juan Jesús Rodríguez Marichal, positively assessed the minister's confirmation, highlighting that the PSO will ensure the island is not dependent on commercial decisions by shipping companies and will have a State-guaranteed connection.
Regarding housing, public rehabilitation and new construction actions in Fuerteventura total 992 units. Of these, 768 correspond to rehabilitation programs, with an investment of approximately 19 million euros, and 224 to new construction.
Rehabilitation projects are distributed across La Oliva (507 homes, with an investment of nearly 14 million euros), Puerto del Rosario (181), and Tuineje (80). In La Oliva, phases of the Old Town of Corralejo and works in El Cotillo are included.
New construction accounts for 224 public housing units, with 99 in Puerto del Rosario and 125 in La Oliva, distributed in La Boicana and Panorama Tres Islas. These developments involve the participation of various administrations.
Minister Ángel Víctor Torres also congratulated the island's Minister of Social Action, Víctor Alonso, for processing housing applications, describing his work as "shadow work, discreet, constant, but essential".
