The first Annual General Assembly was held by the Partido Independencia Orihuela Costa, PIOC, on Friday evening at The Emerald in La Florida.
The meeting attracted an encouraging number of members, a many of whom joined on the night, adding to the growing voice of residents who continue to be unhappy with the deal currently being provided to coastal residents by the PP/Vox coalition government, housed 38 kilometres away in Orihuela City.
The AGM was preceded by an hour of lively discussion in which the president and members outlined future strategy, which included discussion relating to interest shown in the party and its policies by residents in outlying villages and pedanias.
The meeting was very much a “call to arms,” essentially the start of the PIOC preparation for the 2027 municipal elections, using the achievement of 1400 votes attained last May as a springboard to growth in the coming months and years.
The election of officers saw the following appointments:
President – Roman Jimenez, Vice President – Peter Houghton, Treasurer – Jolanta Houghton, General Secretary – Norah Bond, Fundraising and Events – Priscilla Cromie, Multimedia Production Manager – Luke Houghton and Membership Secretary – Eva Johansson.
