"There is no official statement from Lopesan saying that it is part of Dreamland. The only thing is the accommodation of the basketball team that bears the name of the island in one of the hotels in Meloneras," an executive from the chain told Maspalomas24H this Friday. to say that he had nothing to say about it. Regarding company executives who have been supporting the initiative, the same source said "well, we'll see." No lawsuits in court. It was the slogan that the Lopesan leadership had when the possibility of partnering with José Antonio Newport in the Dreamland project on the ground of the El Cortijo golf course in Telde was discussed.
But it has ended up in court, although an objective reading indicates that there is little chance of it succeeding because there are no zero-risk businesses. Newport, which despite having its own press media, has not come out to defend itself after the unusual coincidence in Las The press there spreading its agenda to attract resources, has been denounced in court by its partners in Tenerife and Barcelona for committing, among others, an investment of five million euros in favor of Lopesan for the Telde land at the same time which has the promoter as a shareholder.
But Lopesan's closing ranks to disconnect from the controversy has a crack. The only person who spoke about Dreamland supporting this initiative was the CEO of Lopesan, José Alba, who said on a radio station in Las Palmas on April 13, 2023 that "with our support (...) we are super focused on the diversification of the offer, in principle, this company has seen it clearly and it has been a tremendous success" although he clarified on a radio station in Las Palmas: "let's hope that all this follows the right path."
Lopesan adds that the statements that could reach the media are the responsibility of the promoter of the training project but Lopesan, as an example, has not attended any official meeting on this matter with senior officials of the AA.PP. of the island. Lopesan's interest was the sale of land, already committed, and entry into the project as a supplier, but there is one fact that in Lopesan would have left some of the few who defended the operation disoriented and that was the presence of Constructora Sanjosé in all this network of ideas that has not come to fruition.
