Overview
- The central government has rejected architect Julio Gómez-Perretta, the mayor’s pick to replace retiring director Salvador Martínez Císcar at Sociedad Parque Central.
- Mayor María José Catalá has tied granting a board seat to government delegate Pilar Bernabé to acceptance of her nominee for director.
- The government side is backing engineer Vicente Palomo, who has overseen technical work for Spain’s Mediterranean Corridor program.
- The unresolved choice risks a leadership gap at the firm that coordinates Valencia’s rail and urban overhaul, including the ongoing access channel works.
- Parque Central is owned by the state, the Valencian regional government, and the city, so a shareholder deadlock can slow decisions that affect daily train flows and nearby neighborhood plans.
