BENIDORM’s mayor Toni Perez called three days of official mourning for his predecessor Agustin Navarro Alvado. A vigil was held in the council chamber, although owing to anti-Covid restrictions, members of public could only enter one-by-one to pay their last respects. Benidorm-born Navarro, who was 59, was diagnosed with cancer two years ago. Belonging to the PSOE party, he was mayor from September 2009 until June 2015. Navarro was a member of the Diputacion provincial council between 2015 and 2019 and was also a councillor at Bolulla town hall . “It is a sad day for this town hall, for this corporation, for those who preceded us and for the people of Benidorm,” Toni Perez said.
