Serious Penalty for Feria de Mayo Organizer Oriol Telecom

The Torrevieja City Council has announced that Oriol Telecom, the company responsible for organizing the recent Feria de Mayo, will face serious sanctions due to regulatory infractions. The decision comes after a detailed inspection by municipal technicians. Federico Alarcón, secretary of the City Council, explained that while the inspection confirmed a grave violation, they opted against imposing a second penalty for a delayed electrical setup.

Details of the Sanction Against Oriol Telecom

The serious penalty stems from Oriol Telecom’s failure to have a medically equipped ambulance available near the celebration site at the Parque de la Estación. This requirement is part of the operational conditions laid out by the municipality, especially crucial given the ongoing renovations at the port, which have turned the park into a fairground for the past two years.

Key points regarding the sanction include:

• Inspection Findings: During a routine check, it was clear that the ambulance requirement was not met.
• Allowed to Appeal: Oriol Telecom retains the right to challenge this decision through administrative legal channels.

Delay in Electrical Installations Dismissed

Despite the serious penalty, the municipal technicians decided not to impose an additional fine related to delays in the setup of electrical installations. The company explained that adverse weather conditions in the days leading up to the fair caused postponements in their preparations.

Additional Fines Imposed by the City Council

This isn’t the only financial penalty handed down by the Torrevieja City Council recently. The Council also sanctioned Acciona, the company responsible for waste management, with a fine of €10,001 for improperly using the municipal ecoparque to dispose of hospital waste from Quirón. The fine came about after local councilors reported the incident to the police.

Highlights of Acciona’s case include:

• Investigation Initiated: The police acted on reports made by PSOE council members regarding waste disposal violations.
• Right to Appeal: Acciona has previously contested similar penalties and may pursue legal action against this latest fine.

Conclusion

The imposition of these sanctions reflects the Torrevieja City Council’s commitment to enforcing safety regulations and maintaining operational standards for local events. Both Oriol Telecom and Acciona must now navigate the consequences of these infractions, which highlight the importance of compliance in public event management.
