The mayor emphasized the importance of these economic measures, which were coordinated as much as possible with the city's productive sectors.

It should also be noted that last Friday a video conference was held with representatives of these production sectors, among which were the Association of Small and Medium-Sized Entrepreneurs of Torrevieja and the Surroundings (APYMECO), the Association of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs of the Casa Grande Industrial Zone, managers of hotel companies, businessmen, etc. etc. For almost two hours, businessmen expressed their wishes, ideas, needs and demands for the speedy normalization of the commercial life of the city.
