Mojácar Revolution

In local politics, Mojácar-style, we are reduced from the thirteen parties of just twelve years ago to a more moderate three.
These are:
The Partido Popular, the party in office for the last eight years.
The PSOE, a party in opposition for the past eight years
and Mojácar Para la Gente (here), a non-aligned group with a charismatic leader called Carlos Rodríguez, who is a long-time member of the IU. Carlos has worked in the Mojácar opposition as a councillor for Somos Mojácar with Jessica Simpson (now in the PSOE).
I'm on the Mojácar Para la Gente (Mojácar for its Residents) list rather far down it (I'm too old to run a department in the town hall). The reason I support this group is because it is independent with no ambition beyond the Mojácar frontiers, because it is more interested in the people of Mojácar rather than those who choose to visit for a few days, and because it has several foreigners on the list, including Carlos himself (Argentina) and his Nº2, Astrid Schröder (Germany).
Carlos is a carpenter by trade, and runs a successful bar in Mojácar Village called the BaRpública. Visit for good food, cold beer and interesting conversation. It's one of Mojácar few joints where both locals and foreigners meet.  Carlos has been active in politics all his life and has excellent organisational skills.
Astrid is a vet and has been helping animals and their owners in Mojácar for over 35 years.
The Nº3 on the list is a retired Guardia Civil called Antonio Seonane. He will be of immense use to our community thanks to his experience in security.
Mojácar para la Gente is the best choice, putting the people first, ahead of the ugly cliché of profit for the crafty few.
