Overview
- BNG calls for a comprehensive renovation of the Vigo fairgrounds to host large concerts and cultural events, arguing the facilities are largely underused.
- The party says upgrading Ifevi would make the proposed Vigo Arena in Navia unnecessary and denounces its inclusion in the new PXOM as a backdoor approval.
- BNG spokesperson Xabier Pérez Igrexas calls Vigo Arena a “delirious idea” and warns it would clear roughly 25,000 square meters of forest in Barroca.
- The push comes as relations between Vigo’s city council and the Xunta on the Ifevi governing board have recently improved, creating space to advance proposals.
- The plan links venue works to better access, stronger public transport connections, and potential parking expansion through agreements with Vigo Airport.
