congestion and strengthening and boos-

its citizens. At the same time, he mentio-
ned the need to recover public works in
Spain as an instrument for promoting the
country’s growth.

sed important issues such as investment
in infrastructures as essential for ensuring
growth and employment; the Spanish brand
and its global leadership; construction and
engineering companies in the world; and
the new public contracting model where
quality is more important than price.
