This is the second of three occasions in which the five applicants running for the Expo 2027 must present their respective candidacies to the BIE and it represents a great opportunity to show the benefits of Mlaga and the Costa del Sol to those who have to make the final decision. The first time took place last June and the third -which will also be the last- will take place in June of the year that is about to begin, 2023. In it, the final resolution of the BIE delegates will be announced and therefore, the name of the chosen city.

Malaga will be the second to present its candidacy, although that will not be until after 2:00 p.m. on Monday. The first to intervene will be the Belgrade delegation and once the Malaga representation is over, it will be Bariloche’s turn. Behind them, Minnesota and Phuket, respectively.

The Barcelona journalist, mara married, will be in charge of officiating the staging of the Spanish candidacy that includes the projection of various audiovisual productions in which -as it could not be otherwise- Málaga is the central axis of all of them and the interventions of the Minister Albares himself and of the mayor De la Torre. The president of the Junta de Andalucía, Juanma Moreno, has not been able to travel to France on this occasion but he did not want to stop showing his support for a city, which has seen him grow and to which he feels especially united, and to be present at the event through a videotaped locution.

“The urban era: towards the sustainable city” is a proposal that links and has as its background the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) for 2030. The theme raises reflection on one of the main challenges that contemporary society faces in the medium and long term.
