José wins with 61% vote 1€

José with his late father who was deprived of congratulating his son on his Landslide victory,
Incumbent Mayor of Jávea, José Chulvi, must have been as surprised as anyone else, that he retained control of Jávea Townhall, not with a coalition, but with almost 60% of the votes. Few (other than PSOE Militantes) thought he could get close to 50%, let alone exceed it by more than 20%
In the municipal elections on Sunday 24th May, José Chulvi gained 61% of the votes, giving him an overwhelming endorsement for his style of government. True, for 4 years he has relied on Oscar Anton looking after finance, Juan Ortola with responsibility for police, Pere Sapenna with building control and Juan Luis looking after sport - even though they were councillors of other political groups. Chulvi has won the Jávea election with an absolute majority of 14 of the 21 council seats, after receiving more than 5,000 votes, representing 61% of those who voted, which was 2% fewer voters thanb in 2011. There must have been the feeling that José or Oscar would “walk it” so there was no need to vote. The XD and CPJ coalition has won 16.44% of the vote with 1,347 votes PP only won 2.10% of Jávea votes, leaving them in opposition with 2 councillors. Had PP done as well locally as they did elsewhere, former
SabadellCam bank employee could have been the first Alcaldesa (lady Mayor) of Jávea. Compromis only received 615 votes, gaining a single seat on the Council. Ciudadanos, represented in Jávea by former Solbank manager Juan Carlos Generoso, failed to get enough votes to be elected, though his party did well nationally. Jávea has a history (perhaps because it is the largest village in Spain) of voting AGAINST the trend of the rest of Spain. These are the new Councillors: 1 José F. Chulvi PSOE 2 Isabel Bolufer PSOE 3 Antonio Miragall PSOE 4 Doris Courcelles PSOE 5 Quico Moragues PSOE 6 Pilar Zamora PSOE 7 Paco Torres PSOE 8 Marta Bañuls PSOE 9 Cesc Camprubí PSOE 10 Kika Mata PSOE 11 Ximo Segarra PSOE 12 Montse Villaverde PSOE 13 Jose Luis Luengo PSOE 14 Josefa Gisbert PSOE 15 Oscar Anton XD Coalition

We are grateful for the report of www.javeamigos.com for distributing their thoughts on the internet: It was the result nobody could have predicted yet it would seem most people wanted - José Chulvi's PSOE clinches 60% of the vote in the municipal elections to win 14

If any explanation is still needed
We could have called this local magazine HAVVYER HEARD, but we thought Jávea Jeard would confirm our light-hearted attitude to the serious political and economic problems in Spain, and their effect on Jávea.
