Where do we go from here

First I would like to say a huge thank you to all those that voted for us. We won two seats but were beaten into second place by the P.P. who won an overall majority.
We carried out a clean campaign, for which we were criticised for, but we maintained our integrity throughout. We witnessed some dirty tricks and  we were also subjected to abuse from some of the supporters from another Party.
We can lay the blame at the door of many people, but in the end we are of the opinion that some of the blame must go to the promised votes from the Spaniards in the village. They just did not materialise. Also, there were still many people who were turned away from voting, because they had disappeared from the voters role. This is something that we will address in the coming weeks.
There were others from the Urb. that promised to vote for PIPN, but complacency and apathy took over. They just did not show up.

However, we could go on and on putting forward reasons for not getting enough votes or seats, but we did beat the PSOE and APSFU, who have been established for a lot longer than ourselves.
To the future.
We opened our PIPN office on 107 Calle Madrid, in order to have meetings away from the Council offices. We plan to be available to serve the Community from our office. We will still be able to represent the residents in many of the things that concern them.

Have you seen the electoral program from the Partido Popular. I don't mean to be nasty, but the English is deplorable.

The other parties such as Compromis and UPyD have also been allowed a few posters each.
