Thousands of protesters are set to march to the British Consulate in Alicante to press their case for free health care. The PUMA 22 campaign group, set up to fight the decision, is gathering steam with many more worried residents adding their voices to the protest. The campaign started in the Orihuela Costa with the aim of overturning the Valencian Health Authority's decision to withdraw free health care. The group's website has been inundated with support from concerned ex-pats, with many facing health bills for hundreds of euros.
Five Costa Blanca councillors facing prosecution for standing up to the "bullying and intimidation" of a powerful developer were cheered by supporters as they went into court this week. Little Parcent claimed victory last month in its long running battle to stop 1,800 new homes being built around the village and destroying the countryside but failed to derail a prosecution. But despite the three plans being thrown out by the Valencia Government, Mayor Maximo Revilla, Deputy Mayor Jacqueline Cotterill, and Councillors Fabiola Mora, Jaime Mora and Joan Carles Poquet were forced to give statements to a judge in Denia on Monday. The second Alicante European Residents Conference
took place last week and after last year's controversial comments, in
which it was claimed that urbanisations which homed predominantly expats
were like 'ghettos where Spaniards feared to tread', this year's event
was a much more positive affair. In fact, it was even proposed that
the Costa Blanca could become like a 'Continental California'; but more
on that later. The conference was officially opened by the Alicante
Diputada for European Residents, Maria Asuncion Prieto. She sat alongside
the fourth Vice President of Alicante, Carlos Mazón and renowned
Spanish journalist and sociologist, Agustin Remesal. Thirteen exhausted Algerians were landed
at Calpe after a successful air sea rescue operation. British Expats beat the exchange rate blues. Six months ago a group of 5 expat pensioners got together to form a syndicate in an attempt to recoup the losses they were experiencing on their rapidly depreciating UK pensions. The group worked out a low risk system of investing through the internet which they claim has never lost money and now earns each of them 300€ per month.
