Unfortunately Los Verdes - Grupo Verde Europeo (LV-GVE) were not succesful in getting a MEP elected. A excellent total of 87,088 votes were received on Sunday. This would have been considerably higher, if it were not for the presence of some regional Green parties joining the coalition of the Europa de los Pueblos-Verdes (EdP-V {ERPV-EV}) and wasting Los Verdes votes by campaigning for it.
I hope the Green Party throughout Spain learns from this damaging lack of unity in these elections and gets its act together for future national elections.
Unfortunately the history of politics in Spain, and in particular the Green Party, results in the 'Old Guard' of the regional groups clinging to the protectionism of their positions, to the detriment of the Green Party as a strong and effective political force throughout the country.
The effective actions and reputations of local municipal Los Verdes parties, such as in Orihuela and Torrevieja, can so easily be diminished or negated in the minds of the electorate, by the regional separatism of the 'old world thinking' , supposedly, leaders of a modern forward looking Green Party. It is time to give way to the up and coming younger party members who are seeking for this national united Green Party.
Below are the results for the Orihuela and Torrevieja Municipalities for your information. You can see that the LV-GVE received more votes than the Edp-V coalition in both towns
