The president of the Diputación de Badajoz, Raquel del Puerto, announced an information campaign by the provincial authority in the provincial capital, Badajoz, on 4 September 2026. A mobile bus and an accompanying video game are intended to raise the profile of the institution’s responsibilities and services across the province. According to the authority, the tour is planned to run from 14 September to 12 November 2026 in around 50 municipalities in the Province of Badajoz , with daily opening hours from 10am to 7pm.
The bus will feature two main areas: an exhibition zone explaining the responsibilities of the Diputación de Badajoz and an interactive area for a newly developed video game. The game features the character ANZA and includes five mini-games. Information and promotional materials are also planned. The measures are being carried out under the slogan “Impulsando la provincia que mereces“.
According to the authority, the tour is part of the II Estrategia de Desarrollo Sostenible and is aimed in particular at rural municipalities in the province of Badajoz in Extremadura. The aim is to make the institution’s day-to-day work tangible and strengthen awareness of its responsibilities and available services. The dates and number of municipalities targeted, as given by the Diputación, are planning figures; no detailed information on funding was provided at the presentation.
According to attributed statements, the campaign is intended not only to provide information but also to gather feedback from residents. The format promises an accessible approach for different age groups, from school classes to older people. Its impact will likely depend on how clearly the bus and video game content points to specific services, contact channels and areas of responsibility of the Diputación de Badajoz.
The province’s services are likely to become more visible in smaller municipalities over the coming weeks. Whether this leads to greater long-term demand for particular services or measurably changes public understanding of the administration remains to be seen. One thing is clear: the campaign is time-limited, and the announced stops and opening hours are provisional and may be adjusted to local circumstances.
