NEW RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION....

THE INTERNATIONAL ALLIANCE OF SAN FULGENCIO

 The pre-launch meeting of the new pressure group that is being formed by the ex (resigned) AIM committee members was held on Friday 3rd April at the La Marina Sports Complex in urbanisation La Marina. The new association is being set up in compliance with article 10 of the Spanish organizational law 1/2002/, regulated by the rights of Association.  

A copy of the STATUTES AND LAWS of the new association (in English and Spanish) was handed out and and this was the main focus of discussion to ensure that everyone in attendance was informed of the rules and their constitutional rights as a member of a correctly organised Spanish association. More than 70 people signed up to join the new association at this meeting and others provided their name and address to be forwarded application forms to join. The date of the next meeting will be announced first on this web site.

21 February 2009....

THE AIM COMMITTEE MEMBERS THAT RESIGNED AS A RESULT OF THE CONDUCT OF THE AIM PRESIDENT ARE GOING AHEAD WITH THE FORMATION OF A NEW UNITED URBANISATIONS RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION.

THEY FEEL IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO START AS THEY MEAN TO CONTINUE, WITH EVERYONE BEING MADE AWARE OF THEIR RIGHTS AND ENTITLEMENTS AS MEMBERS. TO THIS END THEY ARE NOW OBTAINING LEGAL TRANSLATIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS OF THE NEW ASSOCIATION. A COPY OF THE CONSTITUITION AND LAWS WILL BE HANDED OUT TO EVERY INDIVIDUAL THAT ATTENDS THE INAUGURAL MEETING. THE DATE AND VENUE FOR THE FIRST MEETING WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON.

IF YOU HAVE BEEN INVITED TO JOIN ANY ASSOCIATION YOU SHOULD HAVE BE GIVEN A COPY OF THE CONSTITUTION AND LAWS AT THE INITIAL MEETING.

Please note there is another association that is currently advertising themselves as the new association in order to recruit ex-AIM members. In fact they have been in existence for many years and have nothing to do with the new association soon to be announced. Information on the name of the new association will appear first on this site.

THE END OF AIM!

BELOW IS A COPY OF THE MASS RESIGNATION LETTER SIGNED BY THE OFFICIAL COMMITTEE MEMBERS OF THE AIM ASSOCIATION AT A PRESS CONFERENCE HELD ON ON FRIDAY 21st NOVEMBER 2008.

Madam Secretary,

It is with great sadness that we are reluctantly resigning from the Association Independent Mediterraneo Committee to which we were elected and appointed by the AIM members at Annual General Meetings.  We would like members to know that we believe this to be the best option due to:-

A       The attitude of the AIM President, Manuel Barrera Garcia towards the committee, members and elected councillors since his arrest on corruption charges and subsequent suspension from the Town Hall.

          i         Threats issued to members Mick Blake and Mark Lewis.

ii        Attempted gagging orders on Committee Members  contrary to the procedures laid down in the Articles of Association and Spanish Law.                                        

iii       Refusing to respond to the Secretary concerning the date and agenda for the 2008 AGM.

 

B        The unwillingness of the President, indeed his obstruction, in providing the Committee Members with:-

          i         Copies of the Articles of Association.

          ii        Properly Audited Accounts of the Association.

          iii       Details of the Association Bank Account.

          iv       Name of the current Association Treasurer.

          v        An up to date membership list as requested by the Secretary.

          All of these are required by the Articles of Association and refusal to hand them over has prevented the smooth running of the Association.

 

C       The behaviour of the President in improperly holding a Press Conference on Wednesday 12 November 2008  together with a group purporting to be the “executive committee” thereby giving the erroneous impression that the President had the full backing of the Association and its Committee.

          The above, together with the tone and content of his several press and television statements, show that Manuel Barrera Garcia has shown contempt for the AIM membership and disregard for the AIM Articles of Association and the law. All of these things have in our opinion brought the Association into disrepute.

 

FOLLOWING THIS SOME OF THE MEMBERS IN ATTENDANCE COMPLETED AND SIGNED AN INDIVIDUAL / FAMILY RESIGNATION LETTER.
