TWENTY FOUR YEARS TO GET BUSINESS LICENSE

The Los Verdes green party of Torrevieja are spreading the news that a printing company in the city of Torrevieja has received its license to trade and is now officially and legally allowed to operate.

Of course, licenses of this type are issued on a regular basis, so it might seem odd that a political party are promoting this business so much, until you realise that it is because the green party are using the case to highlight the inefficiencies of the Torrevieja Town Hall, as it has taken a record 24 years for the company to be issued with the aforementioned legal document.

The company had been given temporary permission to trade from the mayor of the city in 1988 and have been operating ever since. It is only now, 24 years later, that they have received their formal document.

The council deny the accusation and say that they have evidence that it only took 6 months for the license to be issued and the company has therefore been legal since 1989, apart from a few minor infractions and changes along the way.

Of course the company are no doubt very happy they have been able to continue to trade with their “temporary” document. If they were in Orihuela under the current administration there would be no such thing as a temporary granting of permission, but then the Orihuela city council do say that it should only take 2 months for them to complete the process.
