On Mat 22 the political parties started their campaigns for the European Elections got underway across the Costa Blanca .

In La Nucia the Mayor and the rest of the PP went around the town putting up electioneering poster and then holding a meeting to officially open the campaign .The meeting was held in Plaza San Antoni .

In Altea the PSOE called upon residents to use their votes to help the socialists and to bring in a much more progressive approach in Europe .Their hope is to re-launch the European economy .The Mayor urged voters to consider their options very carefully before casting their vote.Naturally he felt that the only way forward was with his party .He said that the man who is spearheading the the socialist drive in the EU elections would make Europe a much more social Europe and would re-launch the economy to make another global financial crisis more difficult in the future .

In Alfaz del Pi all of the political parties were out to launch their campaigns and putting posters up was just one of the jobs .They were all wearing their party colours and once again the socialist mayor felt confident that they would do well .In Orihuela and San Pedro del Pinatar similar events took place .It is such a shame that the general populus does not take these elections seriously enough .It will be another five years before they come around again and they do control many aspects of our lives now .This is no ” Mickey Mouse ” set of elections , they are important .
