MAY 2011 ELECTION RESULTS:

updated gif.gifThe new coalition government in San Fulgencio is made up of eight PP councillors and one PIPN councillor - Jeff Wiszniewski.

The new Mayor of San Fulgencio is Carlos Ramirez of the PP party. The PP party received the least number of votes from ex-pats and other Europeans living in the urbanisations (see below), yet they have eight newly elected candidates (all Spanish), due to the votes they received from Spanish voters. The PIPN party had one of their candidates elected, Jeff Wisznieski, he received 208 votes in the La Marina Polling Station after running his campaign on the premise “We will fight for equality and better representation for people in the urbanisations”. The question on everybody's lips is why he has joined in a coalition government with the party that received the least number of votes from ex-pats and other Europeans living in the urbanisations - just 147 votes.

 

VOTES CAST BY EX-PATS IN THE SOCIAL CENTRE IN LA MARINA URBANISATION ON MAY 22nd:

  1. APSFU – 508 votes
  2. PSOE – 239 votes
  3. PIPN – 208 votes
  4. PP – 147 votes 

 

The independent multinational APSFU party had the most ex-pats in their list of candidates for election, it was this party that received the most ex-pat and other European votes in the La Marina Polling station, a strong indication from the urbanisations that they wanted more ex-pat representation on the council. 

 

Jeff Wiszniewski had the opportunity to join in a coalition with the two multinational parties that has two English councillors elected, both of them live in La Marina urbanisation. History would have been made, with three British governing councillors in a Town Hall in Spain for the first time ever! Surely this was the best way to ensure “Equality and better representation for people in the urbanisations”. Mr. Wiszniewski is now the one and only Councillor for the Urbanisations and he is the person to contact for any matter that concerns people living in the urbanisations.
