Moreno Ferrer pointed out that the government team has not stopped working to solve the multiple deficiencies that have arisen in the building, only a few years after its construction, “which have caused serious problems for merchants, damaging their work, and with the last heavy rains it caused part of the roof to collapse”.
Referring to the deficiencies in the project, the mayor stressed it “was carried out with the Popular Party governing with an absolute majority, and some work was not completed properly, or with the necessary quality”.
