It is not enough just to solve problems, but to find and resolve the
causes of them. There is a need to communicate with you, the citizen,
to inform you of which problems have been resolved.
And to get through to you, the citizen, in Altea, is an almost mission
impossible
Tele Ortiz, with it's misrepresentation or evasive reporting, as it sees fit.
Altea Diario, a sick caricature of manipulated mis-information.
It is difficult to counteract both of these with a humble newspaper such
as El Otro, but we remain firm in the attempt, because not doing

so would mean having to resign myself to not contributing to the much-needed regeneration of democracy for
our people. Today I want to reach you, the citizen, To give you some important and good news in relation to the
new medical centre at Avenida de la Nucía:
We have saved a lot of Alteano's money , while we have increased dramatically the benefit for all of us.
-- Instead of wasting € 540,000 in rent (about € 5,000 / month) for the clinic over ten years, we have purchased
it for € 515,000, ie being owners, for € 25,000 less. (There are those who say that the data is wrong because
we must add the credit interest for the purchase, obviating the fact that the rent would also increase annually
as with the CPI, one offsets the other).
-- But that's nothing compared with what we have gained, because in addition, we became owners of a facility,
which today, and without the work, has already been valued at more than € 750,000, ie an increase in value of
more than forty million of the old pesetas.
Today I want to reach you, the citizen, to tell you what others don't in relation to the new clinic, for instance:
-- Health care will be provided on a single floor rather than in two, mainly because it improves the accessibility
and the movement of people, avoiding ill people having to use a long staircase or lift.
-- That with the swapping of plots which was negotiated, we have changed 107 sq.m upstairs for 154 sq.m below
which has gained almost 50 sq.m without increasing costs.
-- By removing the stairwell we save the cost of maintaining a lift.
-- Under an initiative of the government team we will acquire the land adjacent to the clinic, and it will regenerate
the district in an area that was completely deserted. The images of Miguel Ortiz on February 2007 announcing
that project, were only a declaration of intent which is now being used as if it were a fait accompli.
Well, no, neighbours, only lip service. And now, the tricky question, which is easy to answer, is that if we are
technically bankrupt how have we been able to afford it? Well, I can explain it to you very simply, because in the
accounts of 2007, for the advancement of Ballester's plan for the River Algar, more than 6 million was marked
as income, which enabled us to be able to use what was provisioned for in the 2007. That is not the case in 2008 because, as you know, dear citizen, Our people are no longer for sale to the highest bidder.
Words are not enough, we will demonstrate with actions what we are and what we want to be, that's getting
things done.

-- To all this we must add the value of the work being done and
paid for by the Ministry responsible and the municipality itself,
with an investment that exceeds € 300,000, and will be for all of
us, instead of being lost and just benefiting of the landlord, had
we rented.
-- That being owners, we ensure continuity of service after ten
years or reuse of a premises almost 700 sq.m in whichever way
is most appropriate. That will help create wealth for the people.
