The municipal commission investigating the protected housing scandal of Les Naus in Alicante is at a standstill due to a lack of documentation, leading to a confrontation between the PSOE and the PP government.

Just days before the next commission meeting, the Alicante City Council has failed to resolve the issue of outstanding documents. The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) has accused Mayor Luis Barcala's executive of withholding crucial files, a claim the municipal government of the Popular Party (PP) vehemently denies, asserting that all available archives have been provided to the opposition.

"The mayor continues to not provide various requested documentation. It is false that all files have been sent. We have demanded that Barcala send it immediately to prepare for next week's appearances. A commission to shed light on what happened cannot begin with this type of obstruction."

Socialist spokesperson, Ana Barceló, detailed that among the missing documentation are the contracting file related to the sale of the plot where Les Naus was built, archives concerning the sale of public land under the Plan Vive, the inventory of plots for protected housing, a Local Police report from February 2026, documents for the development on Ceuta street, and investigative files on officials.
For his part, Deputy Mayor Manuel Villar, from the PP, rejected the accusations, stating that "what has been sent is all there is." Villar explained that a PSOE request regarding contracting is already included in a complete file and that they will be informed where to find the information.
The next commission meeting is scheduled for Monday, April 13. However, the presentation of the Central Park project, which has re-emerged on the public agenda, has been set for the same date, which could lead to a postponement of the follow-up on the Les Naus scandal.
