CLARO supporters don’t need to be disenfranchised.

Letter to CLARO members & supporters.

“Orihuela Costa remains unrepresented in the new Town Hall”, and “It is incomprehensible that an area with 30% of the registered population does not elect a single counsellor to represent the interests of the people living here”, are misleading statements by the leaders of CLARO that have appeared in past editions of the party’s newsletter.

The interests of residents of Orihuela Costa are represented on the Town Council by LOS VERDES, through its three elected councillors, lead by Monserrate Guillén, who lives locally.

If you have a problem that you wish to discuss directly with the LOS VERDES (The Green Party) Councillor for the Coast, the surgery on the 11^th June 2008 is your opportunity.

The leaders of CLARO state in a past newsletter, “Through this newsletter, we will be able to publicise your problems so the authorities in the Orihuela Town Hall will be in no doubt as to what they must do to carry out their duties and obligations”. This assumes the PP will bother to read the newsletter. They (CLARO leaders) have to do it this way because they do not have any direct representation within the Ayuntamiento or on the Town Council, unlike LOS VERDES.

Take the opportunity now, and in the future, to talk face to face to a representative of an elected municipal opposition party within the Ayuntamiento about your concerns. It’s your right as a resident and an electorate.

LOS VERDES (The Green Party) of Orihuela are fully aware of, and proud of, their responsibility to represent all residents of Orihuela Costa; so come along if you have a problem or concern and see if we can help. If you can’t attend the surgery on the 11^th June 2008 come to a future one.
