The European Elections

As you may know, Ciudadanos Europeos de Mojácar has decided not to present a candidature for the European Elections (despite an enthusiastic suggestion to the contrary the other evening in the Masko). Since several members have asked us to suggest an alternative in these important elections, and as the only two parties mooted by the Spanish television and newspapers, the PP and the PSOE, the PSOE and the PP have both shown that they will NOT stand up against urban corruption (see the Auken Report, where the two main Spanish parties were adamantly against resolving the problems of ‘illegal homes’, ‘illegal urbanisations’, “endemic’ town hall corruption’ and the ‘land grab’ – the leader of the Spanish PP in Europe actually begging the Conservatives not to support the Auken Report as ‘it diminished Spain’), we have decided to support another group.
By one of those coincidences in life, the Liberals in Europe have started a party in Spain, the CDL or Centro Democrático Liberal, which has as its head-of-list a Northern European with an Irish passport and a Spanish residence card (well, actually, a passport and A4 residence certificate), called Sean O’Curneen. Sean has an Irish father and a Spanish mother and was bought up in Madrid. His wife is English and his children, he says, are European. He now works as Secretary General of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe in the EU Committee of the Regions in Brussels.
Sean is familiar with the problems of Northern Europeans resident in Spain, and has pledged to help us from Brussels. See his webpage here (click at the top right for 'International Version').
On Sunday June 7th, those of you who can vote may wish to consider Sean O’Curneen Cañas and the CDL.
