| CI.P.AL'S ELECTORAL CAMPAIGN |
| We wanted to motivate people and make a recommendation for whom to vote in the general election. But of course, that has been impossible because in CIPAL, everyone votes differently. We have members who vote the PSOE, others vote PP,UPD or the environmentalists. We believe that there is one who would vote for IU and another for whom Rajoy would seem too moderate. In municipal policy that does not matter, but we have rescued a phrase of this campaign which we think is remarkable: BEING CONSIDERED LEFT OR RIGHT IS NOT THE CENTRE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT WE FEEL SORRY FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE BETTER ARGUMENTS TO COMBAT THEIR OPPONENT. (UPD) |
| Have things changed in Altea? Of course. You can go to the town council and present projects, which will be approved or not, but in any case you are heard, and the feasability of your argument is evaluated. Right now we are working with children in an ecological garden, we have been restocking the river, we continue with our lectures. This is the moment I wanted to arrive at, because the |
| parties that are currently on the council are beginning to govern in different ways, and you can see a very good predisposition. I from my point of view I think it is worth giving them breathing space. They haven't yet been in power for a year. At the moment I am devoting more time do spreading the word than to making allegations. Are you a radical? If being radical means that you never go to McDonalds, then I am; this form of consumption and production hurts. I don't go to the shopping centre on a Saturday afternoon. I think that green is the only possible way for survival of the human race, and in that sense I see no nuances. We should not expand a port or more, we have too many moorings. There shouldn't be houses in the river. We also have called radical because we are so stoical. How do you wish Altea to be for your children? I would like to see my children have an Altea as I myself found 10 years ago, but that it is impossible... I would like to have a dignified public service network. Ability to travel easily by bicycle, clean beaches and surrounding. Sewage treatment plants that work. That Ballester take a plane and go. Colleges without problems of overcrowding and leaking rooves. A worthy house of culture... Anything to add? We are in time for the river Algar urbanisation not to be built. We are in time to keep the small allotments and little area of the Sierra that we have left. We are at that time when the port will not be expanded. We would like to see politicians make this work in order to avoid the need for more social pressure and legal action from environmental groups. |
