The new mayor of Dénia has called for dialogue and the recovery of civil friendship, drawing inspiration from the Mediterranean character and the words of King Felipe VI.

The new mayor of Dénia has emphasized the importance of dialogue and collaboration for the city's good governance. In a clear reference to King Felipe VI's message about the Mediterranean as a space for dialogue, the councilor stressed that "we all have something to contribute" and that "good ideas don't always have a political party card."
In this regard, he highlighted the need to strengthen collective work and recover "civil friendship," the ability to disagree without losing mutual respect. According to the mayor, a cohesive city is essential to better face future challenges.

Actions and subsequent deeds will demonstrate the will for change.
The historical legacy of Dénia, formerly known as Hemeroskopeion, a watchtower from the 1st century BC, is recalled as an example of its capacity for coexistence and the preservation of its cultural identity in a Mediterranean setting.
