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 the two English councillors.

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 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.

 

THE ENGLISH COUNCILLORS STATEMENT:

Our current position is this:

We were elected by local residents with a mandate to give the people of the urbanisations a voice in the Town Hall for the very first time. The articles of constitution for the political party are emphatic in that our responsibility is to represent the political will of the people, not the political ambitions of one man. With your support we will continue to work as Independent councillors.
