The annual 'hole' of 50 million euros that the City of Arts and Sciences of Valencia represents cannot be prolonged. The Consell is now urgently looking for a private manager to make profitable a facility that symbolizes the modernity of the city of Valencia, but at the same time poor management as a public company. As sources from the Ministry of Economy have confirmed to El Confidencial Digital , in September “and in the first days of the month” the competition for the outsourcing of the management of the City of Arts and Sciences of Valencia will be put out to tender. Does not allow delay or error The preparation of the specifications accumulates a considerable delay . In fact, the initial intention of the Generalitat was that the private operator could have taken over management this summer. Subsequently, the Minister of Economy, Máximo Buch , set the tender for July. However, the complexity of the specifications and the “thoroughness” – as described by the Ministry – of the Generalitat Attorney's Office have delayed the deadlines. After poor management, according to what the Ministry of Economy tells this confidentiality, “ there is no margin for error when it comes to outsourcing the management of CACSA.” As ECD has learned , the documentation has already been finalized, and the contest will go out in September.
The fee that will be charged to the operator that takes over the management of the Oceanográfico, the Príncipe Felipe Museum, the Hemisférico and the Ágora, whose concession will be tendered in a single lot, remains to be decided. The Palau de les Arts Special Database will be definitively exempt from the competition and will maintain a differentiated “status”. Only the Oceanográfico is saved from the “red numbers” Of the five buildings that make up the City of Arts and Sciences of Valencia, only the Oceanográfico is saved from the red numbers. The fact that there are currently five groups interested in managing CACSA confirms that private management is considered profitable. It has already been decided that the successful bidder will assume management for 15 years , and will not bear the amortization costs of interest for the payment of the infrastructure, which will continue to be paid by the Generalitat Valenciana . The Consell plans to apply a “reasonable initial fee” so that interested companies can bid upwards. Assume current template The company that is awarded must assume the current workforce that works for CACSA, as an unavoidable obligation. A little less than a year ago, the public company – CACSA – closed an ERE with a total of 140 workers. This resizing of the workforce was one of the essential requirements set by the technicians so that the outsourcing of the facility would be viable for a private company.
The company that manages CACSA must assume the obligations contracted with suppliers that are still in force.Sources from Ana Botella's team assure El Confidencial Digital that a duel between José María Aznar's wife and Esperanza Aguirre would favor the latter. They have no doubts: “ Bottle would surely lose ,” admits a person of trust of the mayor of Madrid. Botella and her entourage, therefore, suspect that Aguirre has not permanently left politics and has remained at the head of the Madrid PP with the aim of achieving her lifelong dream , as she herself has admitted in more than an occasion: direct his lifelong city . Botella's team is also aware that the president of the PP would bet on the candidate who achieved the best results in the polls. And at this moment, the one who leads the demographic polls is Esperanza Aguirre by far, the sources consulted by ECD acknowledge . They also affirm that Rajoy would be willing to accept Esperanza Aguirre running as a candidate for mayor of Madrid to get rid of a problem : the criticism that the leader utters towards the management of the President of the Government. Ana Botella's trump card, for her part, is the Olympic Games . The mayor is willing to fight for the mayor of Madrid , for a second term, in case Madrid is elected an Olympic city next month.
