New extension for the award of the Altea Nautical Club (Photo Ajuntment d'Altea)

According to sources close to the Nautical Club of Altea, the distressing situation that is being experienced by the entity to which the provisional authorization to the initial concession is due next June 19, has obtained relief from the Consell in the last hours by promising the Valencian institution, which before the final maturity will grant the Club an extension for three years. Thus the Consell has officially expressed itself:"In accordance with the provisions of article 23 of the Ports Act, the relevant authorisation shall continue to be granted for a maximum of three years so that the Nautical Club of Altea can continue its activity and occupy the nautical sports facilities. This authorisation will come in time and form before the current one expires on 19 June."

However with this performance the Consell does not guarantee the future of the Nautical Club of Altea in the long term, because to its judgment this type of entities "they are located for the most part on the urban front, it is necessary to take determinations for the management of the own area occupied by the concession and of its entire environment, from the point of view of its insertion in the municipality where it is located... the service of consulting for the drafting of proposals for urban planning of the port of Altea, whose announcement has been published in the DogV on 1 June 2017 which includes the Nautical Club of Altea is in the process of contracting."

Hence the Consellery is officially expressed in the sense that they will not be able to resolve the concession in any way, until such documentation is available..."and with the provisions of the Ports Act, the Altea CN will continue to be granted authorization until the concession procedures are resolved. The drafting of the bases for the concession will be coordinated with the municipalities and the sports department of the Generalitat."

03 / 06 / 2017: The continuity of the Altea Nautical slope of a thread by the silence of the Generalitat

It is two weeks before we reach the 19th of June, the day that marks the end of the legal deadline so that the Nautical Club of Altea can renew its concession. According to information in various Alicantino social media, including Information from Alicante and El Mundo, this non-profit society, which generates an obvious social good, is not being treated in accordance with its importance in Valencian society, and its merits taken after 40 years of having done a great deal of work for nautical sport and nautical tourism, generating in its area of influence considerable income of notorious economic value... not to forget its important social work as a sports institution it is.

Its leaders are very concerned, interpreted by this chaotic situation generated by the Generalitat Valenciana, the continuity of the Club is seriously at risk if the Consell does not urgently grant them the mandatory renewal of the concession. The Act on Ports of the Valencia Community, adopted in 2014, marks the obligation to start the negotiated process of concessions to non-profit entities on a social basis and that promote water sports, the same sources ensure that "so far no progress has been made". The Club has requested since the end of the last century, in which the first concession ended, have requested the Generalitat (different self-government, since they have changed several times in 17 years), and the answer has been absolute silence... For the president of the Nautico de Altea, José Román Zurutuza, "The Club is on the edge of the cliff, which is incomprehensible when you find that we personally, and sometimes openly and publicly, receive the support of the entire local and autonomous political class. We do not know what is going on, why so much delay and why the deadline for renewal has been reached if any kind of result is obtained. "

The Nautico de Altea is one of the most prestigious clubs on the Valencian Mediterranean coast, it has more than three hundred partners and many more sportsmen of all ages and sexes who practice nautical sports based on their facilities... the first administrative concession that it enjoys in the Club was now granted 40 years ago... it has won it 17 years ago!!!! so its leaders carry out nothing less than 17 years!!!! by supporting concessional stickers of the Generality of Valencia, which has the Club in a manifest defencelessness, since it can not carry out the same modernization of its facilities, and even the maintenance of its facilities.
