Is it coincidence, or perhaps good
forethought on my part, or just luck, that two days after I posted my
article 'Will
CLARO partner the Partido Popular in Orihuela?' that the RTN
newspaper publishes an article entitled 'Coastal
Isolation' which begins “Former Mayor
of Orihuela Monica Lorente, talking exclusively to RTN this week,
said: “The coast is being politically isolated.” and written by
Louise Clarke who was the personal press officer for Monica Lorente when she
was Mayor.
In
the article the Ex-Mayor said: “CLARO Councillor Bob Houliston is
being ‘humoured’ by the Mayor. Bob is a good person and has the
interests of the coast at heart but is being taken for a ride by the
Mayor and his colleagues.” and
added “Bob is an honourable man: he doesn’t deserve this.”
There
seems to be a lot of back tracking from Ms Lorente in relation to her
previous adverse comments about Bob Houliston and the CLARO party
when she was Mayor.
I
wonder if there isn't a degree of vengeance on the part of both the
interviewee and the interviewer in the writing of this article as
they both lost their positions of power when the Partido Popular
party lead by Monica Lorente was removed from government by the
current tripartite government.
By
this attack on the government and feigned support of Bob Houliston,
Monica Lorente, with the aid of her past press officer, I believe is
looking to tempt Bob into a new bipartite agreement to bring down the
current governing team and reinstate the PP to power in Orihuela and
her as Mayor.
Edit: 31st January 2012.
The CoastRider newspaper has today
published an article written by Mireille Toddington entitled 'Bob
and Mon in talks' in which I am paid the compliment of my weblog
being mentioned.
Funny that you brought this up.
ReplyDeleteAs there is a beautiful article (albeit in German), about a German complaining about a similar issue, in the "WAS und WHO", free issue, about the AGM held by CLARO on 26-11-2011, where in short this particular German is complaining about "false promises" by this BOB from before the elections, and after he became councillor, he NEVER was even trying to fullfill his promises, to the people who actually voted for him!
This particular German now greatly regrets that he ever voted for CLARO, and I personally have met with quite a lot of Brits, who express a similar opinion!!
Also he maintains that he used to be a "diplomat"??? Well, what I have found out since, is that he was never a diplomat, but he did used to work as a "civil servant" in a diplomatic office...well thats something different..yes??
Is that true? Bob Houliston was never a diplomat? If this is true then we have all been misled.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bob Houliston for resigning, this is the best news of 2012
