XD plans bold
move for
election
include members of the two teams
who will work out the legal issues
and the “paperwork” required to
produce a joint list for the election.
the combined total votes for both
parties will produce another seat
for the Coalition with the current
accounting process.
Xàbia Democratica representatives have highlighted that the two
Parties complement each other
and have similar values, also that
during these last four years, they
have worked well together with
CpJ on very important issues
in the Council such as Finance,
Urban planning, also
social
services (during a crisis that has
affected all the residents and
forcing greater
Departmental
efforts) among others.
Oscar stressed that this will be is
a positive move for XD as although
they hold the three most important roles in the Council at present
and have done a very good job for
Javea, there is a strong likelihood
that due to the list system which is
used in Spain an increased vote
for the Socialists based on the
personal popularity of the Mayor
will result in Xabia Democratica
candidates being removed from
the ruling Coalition.
Both sides see the possibility of
creating
a unique independent
candidacy, which would be the only
group involved in the elections
that are not accountable to either
Valencia or Madrid. XD and CpJ
emphasized that the list, which
has the possibility of generating
friction in a coalition would not be
a problem if they take the same
positions they now hold. That is
a total of five Councillors.
A stronger Socialist dominated Council if they need partners
may seek coalition with other parties like Compromis that is more
closely aligned to their political philosophy.
However they anticipate that this
may well be more, and see the
possibility of a sixth Councillor as
Anton wants to place XD in a
stronger position to be able to do
the best for Javea.
XD, he stressed, exists for the
people and the Town of Javea and
we have to do whatever is necessary to safeguard the future of this
party
