None of the five officials from the Capital Gains area of the Alicante City Council summoned to the investigation committee for the public housing scandal at Les Naus have appeared to give testimony.

In this way, the last scheduled session of this municipal committee concludes, before the reading of conclusions set for September 21. Friday's session, which lasted ten minutes, was attended by two PP councilors, Antonio Peral and Mari Carmen de España, and two from Vox, Carmen Robledillo and Óscar Castillo.
Councilors from PSPV, Compromís, and EU-Podem did not attend, following the line set in the previous meeting, where Mayor Luis Barcala also did not appear. Vox councilor Carmen Robledillo announced that her party has requested new emails, including communications between senior official Paloma Romero, former PP councilor Toni Gallego, and the manager of the awarded company (Fraorgi), Francisco Ordiñana, as well as with the Department of Heritage. The receipt and content of these emails could lead to proposing new summons and postponing the conclusions session.
The spokespersons for the left-wing parties have once again described the investigation committee as a "farce".
