“"What has been experienced on Honduras Street these last few days has been a true absurd spectacle. They started a project without planning, they eliminated a safe school route overnight, and they turned the area into traffic chaos that has affected the entire old town's ring road."

The socialist municipal group in the Cádiz City Council has strongly criticized the management of the Honduras Street project, calling it a "botch" and an "absurd spectacle" due to poor planning and its impact on traffic and residents.
The spokesperson for the socialist municipal group in the Cádiz City Council has expressed dissatisfaction with the current government's management, citing the Honduras Street project as a clear example of an "absolute lack of management." The action has been labeled a "botch," demonstrating, according to the socialists, an inability to lead urban projects.
The spokesperson recalled that the works began without a realistic alternative traffic plan and with a notable lack of consideration for residents and the educational community. The situation led to a "ghost project" with fences but no progress, which, after public criticism, was announced as completed in a week, despite an initial forecast of one month.
This sudden change in deadlines has raised "serious doubts" about the technical execution of the project. The socialist group suggests that the work was either not rigorously planned or that tasks were left undone due to "electoral fear," fearing that the works might resume after the elections on May 17, which they would consider an "extremely serious attitude."
The spokesperson sarcastically commented on the project's organization, comparing it to an unserious management, and accused the mayor of turning public management into a "pantomime" where the priority is "not to bother before the polls." This episode was linked to a political trajectory of a "cowardly and fearful attitude," incapable of making decisions and facing their consequences, highlighting the absence of a clear city project.
Given the "opacity of the maneuver," the socialist spokesperson, in his capacity as a member of the Aguas de Cádiz Board of Directors, announced that he would immediately request a detailed report on the budget, procurement process, original execution deadlines, and the technical-administrative procedure that led to the sudden modification of the project.
