The Generalitat Valenciana has detailed some of the planned novelties for 2026 during the consellers' appearance at the Corts Valencianes to explain the draft budget. One of the highlighted initiatives is the remodel that Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat Valenciana (FGV) will carry out at the Puerta del Mar stop in Alicante, to accommodate the new large-capacity trams.

The third vice-president and conseller for the sector, Vicente Martínez Mus, has emphasized that the province of Alicante will receive 57.11 million euros for the Alicante Tram and an additional 40.3 million for investments. Among the latter are the final phase of the Luceros intermodal station and the "tranviarization" of the stretch between Benidorm and the Hospital de La Vila, currently interrupted due to works.

The purchase of new large-capacity trams, which will be initially introduced in the Alicante province, necessitates the remodel of the area around the Line 5 stop at Puerta del Mar. Sources from the Conselleria have explained that the stop will be adapted to meet the requirements of the larger wagons. The total budget for FGV amounts to 229.1 million euros, a significant portion of which will be allocated to the recovery of areas affected by the dana in 2024.

In urban planning, the lack of allocation for the Vía Parque in Alicante has drawn criticism. Although the president of the Generalitat Valenciana, Juanfran Pérez Llorca, announced progress on the expansion in late December, no budget item has been included. Other planned projects in the province include the construction of rainwater collectors for Mutxamel (10 million euros), which will create the province's first river park, and the Vía verde del Serpis (6 million).

The opposition, represented by Maria José Salvador (PSPV-PSOE) and Juan Bordera (Compromís), has criticized the low budget execution and labeled the plan as "marketing." Salvador has reproached the reduction in infrastructure investments and the lack of action regarding climate change risks. Martínez Mus has defended the current government's management, questioning the execution figures of the previous Botànic government.

The Third Vice-Presidency will manage a budget of 1.1 billion euros in 2026, similar to the previous year, with a focus on post-dana recovery. This is supplemented by 945.4 million from the instrumental public sector. Almost half of the budget is allocated to recovery, with 445 million for reconstruction. Key allocations include 257 million for transport infrastructure, 187.5 million for transport and logistics, 132 million for environmental quality, and 108.7 million for the natural environment.

Adaptation and territorial resilience are key pillars of the budgets, with an investment of 9 million euros for future floodable parks and the development of the metropolitan green corridor.
