LA LÍNEA Mayor Alejandro Sánchez (PP) held talks last week with AENA, the state airport authority on the kind of work the agency needs to carry out to see building of the Spanish side of the shared airport with Gibraltar get under way. According to a communiqué from the town hall, the talks were "a significant and substantial advance on the negotiations about the airport land." Sánchez added "the municipal government's sense of responsibility has lead us to study and develop plans in order to attain synergy with AENA." No financial or administrative details were offered. On the other side of the political fence, mayoral candidate Gemma Araujo's party (PSOE) described the talks as 'disappointing', adding that>the mayor "and what is left of his team do not understand the strategic importance to city that this investment means. It has been 'paralyzed' for years for no reason other than that the mayor only sees an opportunity for getting a few thousand euros, when what is really at stake, no less, is that our town can have an airport terminal, something any mayor would facilitate immediately." The PSOE press release adds that the party has maintained for many years that the local government "should have set in motion everything that is needed to cede the municipal land for the terminal" and "the damage this delay is causing is enormous to all the unemployed who could now be working on the building."
