Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto board meet with Mayor Sergio Muniesa

This meeting with the governing team is the first in a round of meetings that the rojiblanco club wants to hold ahead of the forthcoming municipal elections. The Mayor of Sagunto, Sergio Muniesa; Sports Delegate Tania Ortiz; and Deputy Mayor of Puerto de Sagunto, Concha Peláez, held a meeting with representatives of the Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto board and its president, Juanjo Bataller. Muniesa explained: “Once again, we are contacting Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto to learn first-hand about their plans. I believe this is positive, because it is a way of learning first-hand about the club's own needs and explaining the improvements we have made to the sports hall, the OVNI. Ultimately, the fact that the council has made these investments in the current circumstances is important.” The mayor also added: “Ultimately, having these facilities for sporting activities in our city and making them available to clubs, allowing people to enjoy them and also having municipal schools, all contributes to a collective benefit.” Regarding the meeting with the club's board, Muniesa highlighted that it “was a relaxed, friendly meeting; there is a very good relationship with the club. Of course, the first thing I did was thank them for meeting with me, exchanging views and continuing to work as we have done in recent years. This club, which competes in the Asobal league, is a national handball benchmark, and that is always taken into account in consideration of what it means for the city itself. We discussed these matters as well as sporting issues, facilities and so on, which was the purpose of the meeting.” On behalf of Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto, its president Juanjo Bataller stated that “We held this meeting at the request of the Partido Popular municipal group. We intend to meet with all the municipal groups, as it is very important for us to know their approach and commitments for the term of office beginning in May. We thanked them for the firm support we have been receiving from the council and its mayor, Sergio Muniesa—support they have said we will continue to receive. We are also very satisfied with the current mayor's commitment to maintaining the municipal grant at the same financial level as this year if he is re-elected.” There is also an issue on which the mayor always supports us that is less high-profile: dealings with financial institutions to obtain the guarantee needed to compete in Asobal. We are very grateful for this, because it is vital in order to compete.” Regarding the club's future home, the new sports hall, Bataller commented: “The mayor is naturally very keen for it to be completed, and we are aware of the efforts he is making with the Conselleria authorities; it will surely see the light of day. We need it.”
