The Majorero business leader José Antonio Newport, owner of the promoter of the same name, is in the view of the judicial authorities of Fuerteventura for the project he has with Lopesan in Telde called Dreamland. The financial partner from Barcelona and another from Tenerife have denounced him for allegedly being disloyal in the financial operations generated to develop the film studios that would be built in Telde with European Next Generation funds. Legal sources said this Thursday that the lawsuit barely has any progress; But the complaint has generated several effects: that its own digital press media have not come out to defend the honesty of the process and that the final progress of the project has been questioned, which at the time was even considered for placement in Anfi del Mar.
In the south of Gran Canaria, Newport has the so-called Canary Islands Hospitality and Tourism Training Center in the Campo Internacional de Maspalomas and in Mogán it owns Etiazul, the manager of the Mogán municipal TV whose procedure was in the judicial study phase by circumstances related to the award. The Newport Group's business is not making TV programs but rather making training courses and that's where Dreamland comes from: training staff to host film productions on the islands. Lopesan is a partner in this bet by selling the land of the El Cortijo golf course in Telde to the company of which he is a partner and, hence, he previously explored land in Tirajana, something that was flatly rejected by local officials and authorities. . Dreamland sponsors CB Gran Canaria and its preparation last 2023 was at a Lopesan hotel in Meloneras.

All data is extracted from the official data of the Canary Islands Executive regarding training. There are years in which he has earned 710.258 euros or 590.625 euros in 2018 or 397.059 euros.
The president of the Cabildo of Gran Canaria, Antonio Morales, did not want this Thursday to go into assessing the internal problems that exist between the partners of the Dreamland Studios project and that have led two of them, Alquimia and Volcano Internacional, to denounce a third party. , Newport, although he is confident that the idea will continue and become a reality.
"They are internal problems that I cannot assess. We have not received any information, on the contrary, the technicians continue to meet with the Territorial Policy technicians for the environmental study, to correct the deficiencies or alternatives offered by the environmental body of Gran Canaria and they are working on it. It is an internal problem of the company that I hope is resolved well and that does not mean that the project is backed down, it is certainly an important commitment to advance in this sector and we are at the expense of what The courts decide later because it seems that there is a dispute between the partners. I have heard from the main promoter that the objective they have of establishing themselves in Gran Canaria is not going to change at all," Morales explained.
