0:08
themselves forward and from right across
0:11
the Spectrum as well today talking about
0:13
the patio popular in Javier
0:16
um the particular popular you will know
0:17
of as the kind of national main
0:19
opposition at the moment and I guess
0:21
within Javier as well now the candidate
0:24
for mayor will be Rosa Rosa Cardona but
0:26
speaking on her behalf today is someone
0:28
one known to us Oscar Anton it's still
0:30
part of the party and you're you're
0:32
running yourself this year but further
0:33
down the list um the last one okay so
0:37
I'm going to push like the first one I
0:39
mean I think it this year is the year
0:42
and I think we have the best candidate
0:44
that is Rosa Cardona and we have the
0:47
best team ready to work for Javier we
0:50
are in a situation that we need facts
0:51
and less pictures so that's why why all
0:54
the team are very involved I'm very
0:56
committed with this project okay and
0:58
Elena as well what's your involvement
1:00
lunch with the party I'm a dance teacher
1:02
I have a school here in Javier and I uh
1:06
growing up him didn't see very many
1:08
opportunities for young people and still
1:12
now there's not a lot of opportunities
1:13
and I not very good at politics I'm not
1:16
very involved in politics but when I met
1:18
Rosa
1:20
um she just created something in me that
1:23
I could see that she was a true person
1:25
and I'm more a people person than
1:28
politics and I'm fighting to create a
1:30
better Javier for younger people okay so
1:33
Oscar in the field of politics then
1:35
um what does your candidate represent
1:37
for you why have you uh again it's
1:40
showing your supports and embarked on
1:41
the adventure this time this team this
1:44
PP team for this elections represent
1:47
people who really want to work for
1:49
Javier I mean well they have a Manifesto
1:52
that they have been studying with
1:54
realistical things that can be done we
1:57
are in one situation that during the
2:00
last 12 years the only thing that we had
2:02
is mainly pictures and a lot of speeches
2:06
but the you can see how Javier is I mean
2:09
it's practically abundant we have lost
2:11
half of the policemans that we used to
2:14
have uh the urbanizations are in a very
2:17
poor State everybody can see how
2:19
everything is also as you can see
2:22
practically old infrastructure and
2:25
Auditorium pools everything is a stop
2:27
and we want facts I mean I think that
2:31
the team that is now MPP they really
2:34
want to work they are here to make a
2:36
better place to live so what is the
2:39
strong points you see of the the pp led
2:42
by Rosa well mainly I think that they
2:45
have a plan to start things step by step
2:48
I mean will be things that is going to
2:51
be done as in in every year they are
2:53
going to get their own targets to get
2:55
everything
2:57
um mainly for example they want to
3:00
improve the maintenance of the gardening
3:03
they want to part open more participate
3:07
to the citizens right now everybody is
3:10
seeing just what the budget is approved
3:12
but nobody has the opportunity to be
3:14
involved they want to get access to the
3:18
social social houses and possibility to
3:22
the young people to get access to a
3:25
property and also make easier the the
3:30
public Administration less paperwork and
3:33
more facilities to start new business or
3:36
or to do anything any entrepreneur
3:39
action I mean obviously we're talking in
3:42
having a large
3:44
immigrant population if you like
3:46
whichever term you want to use the
3:47
different things in mind
3:50
um that might excite maybe UK Nationals
3:52
living here British Nationals or other
3:54
Europeans
3:55
well right now during the last years
3:57
Javier has received a lot of residents
4:00
mainly from North Europe also we
4:03
consider something very positive because
4:05
the profile has changed a lot these
4:07
young people who want to establish here
4:08
they want to start this business but
4:11
when they see that the security has been
4:13
lost we as I explained we have lost a
4:17
lot of policemens there are no public
4:18
transports there are no facilities
4:20
internet is practically impossible in
4:23
most of the areas of Javier is full of
4:26
problems if you want to start a business
4:27
they consider this place as a holiday
4:30
place and we don't want to lose our
4:32
youth we want to keep it here and we
4:34
want to be attractive for this profile
4:37
of people this is an issue isn't it
4:39
Elena about young people especially
4:41
work-wise in Hawaii I mean it is kind of
4:44
nationally anyway but certainly in a
4:46
resort area okay they can get a job
4:48
waiting tables in Hospitality but
4:51
outside of that the only thing they can
4:53
do at the moment for young people is
4:54
working in Hospitality so we would like
4:57
to create
4:58
um
4:59
so young people can stay here find
5:01
Opportunities I think the main problem
5:03
is the living really because you can try
5:06
and start up a business I was lucky
5:08
enough to have people around me to help
5:10
and my mum lives here but if you want to
5:13
try and live here open a business and
5:15
pay rent it's impossible young people
5:18
cannot afford 1 500 2 000 Euros for a
5:22
rent
5:23
and I think that's one of the things
5:25
that is really important is creating
5:27
social living for younger people and
5:30
helping them so the pp have a bonus so
5:34
they would help money-wise to young
5:36
people give them money to be able to
5:39
create a business startup find living
5:43
places and one of the issues that's
5:46
going to come up with all of the parties
5:48
and all the candidates are going to
5:49
mention is keeping the place clean the
5:52
cleanliness of the streets into the
5:53
waste water that's been an issue as well
5:56
um how would the pp look at that and
5:58
take things on the thing is that the the
6:00
PPE in this Manifesto they have a
6:03
commitment of if something I mean if
6:05
something is in a very poor State than
6:07
any citizen can get access through the
6:10
web page in 48 hours they are going to
6:13
get a group of workers who will fix it
6:15
okay that is for something urgent but
6:18
also they consider that the pp consider
6:21
that maintains correctly the town hall
6:23
is is the the display is the way to show
6:27
the quality of of all the services that
6:30
we can provide okay so one of the things
6:33
is to change for example the beans that
6:35
has been trading a lot of problems to
6:37
the people we want to increase also the
6:40
the the staff and the people who is
6:42
going to clean the the town
6:44
uh the maintenance of the gardens you
6:47
just have to see any public garden in
6:49
habia is almost abandoned on on about
6:53
what you have been saying about the
6:54
sewage and and the water all the water
6:58
that has been the appeared by the the
7:01
Pure Plant in Javier goes straight to
7:03
the sea I mean we're not using that uh
7:07
that is something that is a waste also
7:09
the way that they are well the the way
7:12
that they see which works now as you can
7:14
see in there are no they didn't finish
7:16
the word so we lost the blue uh uh flag
7:20
I don't know if the people know that but
7:22
this year Javier has lost one blue flag
7:25
because all these works of the sewage in
7:28
the sea that is something that can for
7:30
one town like Javier is not possible
7:32
that these things happen a lot of people
7:34
I talk to English people and they think
7:37
that the sea is fixed and there's no
7:40
problem and that's not the way it is
7:42
they're lying they're not giving real
7:44
facts out and what they need to do now
7:47
they're going to fix it in this moment
7:49
which I think is a very silly moment
7:51
we've had one whole year and they're
7:53
gonna fix it when people are going to
7:55
start coming here for holidays so then
7:57
they're going to close the beach and we
7:59
have a dirty sea um okay and so that's
8:02
something definitely on the list by the
8:04
sounds of things and it would lead us on
8:06
to talking about sustainability if we're
8:08
talking about the treatment of water
8:09
that sort of thing
8:11
um everyone's going to be talking about
8:12
sustainability looking towards the
8:14
future again it's another key policy for
8:16
a lot of people and what's the uh the
8:18
sort of party no popularity
8:20
um well there's there's two phases at
8:22
the moment in the in the plan and what
8:24
they would like to do is create the
8:26
third phase so in the third phase the
8:28
water purified and when it goes into the
8:31
sea it goes in clean so no dirty water
8:34
at all in the sea which is something I
8:37
think is very important especially
8:39
nowadays with all the technology we have
8:42
it can be done so easily do you think
8:44
that's achievable yes okay and also you
8:47
can use part of this water for the
8:49
agricultural or to clean the streets I
8:51
mean what doesn't make any sense is
8:53
throw away this all this the pure water
8:55
especially at the moment a real issue
8:58
with the drought conditions so that's uh
9:00
that's a national day obviously but it
9:02
affects here as well yeah or probably
9:04
the people don't don't remind what
9:07
happened in Ramblers we had three months
9:09
fired there I mean
9:12
we're talking about sustainability yeah
9:14
we have a fact over there three months
9:17
with fires when we can find Alternatives
9:20
with a compost plant or reduce recycling
9:24
all this all these things for gardening
9:27
to do pellets or or things like this or
9:30
compost just for the the agricultural
9:33
things okay now another thing that
9:35
you've I mean you sent through some
9:36
bullet points for us to look at and
9:38
cover in our chat today is about Animal
9:40
Welfare now this will really strike a
9:42
chord I know with not just Brits but
9:44
certainly along the expats so the real
9:46
liberal connection here there's a lot of
9:48
people that have come here and retired
9:49
they do volunteer their time working in
9:51
some of the animal Charities and
9:52
shelters what's the uh what's the PPS
9:55
view on the Animal Welfare how are you
9:57
how are we looking at it yes that's
9:58
another thing that I'm very close to
10:01
because I'm an animal lover prefer
10:03
animals and people you as well and
10:08
um they would like to create a beach for
10:12
dogs which I think is something really
10:14
important in a town like this where
10:16
there is lots of animals and there is an
10:19
extended amount of beach so why not
10:22
create a little part of that for animals
10:24
to be able to go and swim in the sea
10:27
where other people that aren't animal
10:29
lovers don't get upset which I think is
10:32
where the main problem is because they
10:34
don't like it when there's dogs around
10:36
and they just want to sit on the beach
10:37
and relax so they are thinking in a part
10:40
of the Montana to create a little space
10:43
for dogs to go and have a little swim
10:45
now we're talking of course about uh
10:48
Rosa who's heading up the the candidate
10:50
list for what would be mayor I guess uh
10:52
Javier should you uh win on the 28th
10:55
um hit that long hand over the the
10:57
microphones to you um whoever wants to
10:59
say this do you want to just say give
11:00
the message from the the partido popular
11:03
candidature to people ahead of the
11:05
election I mean the main message is that
11:07
the the pp represent people who really
11:10
want to work I mean is something origin
11:13
something must be done during the last
11:15
10 years I mean everybody can see how
11:18
the town is we the only thing that we
11:20
can offer is work work and work that's
11:23
all that's some of the Electoral points
11:25
that the pp opening forwards in habitat
11:28
for May the 28th until what we haven't
11:30
done is talk much about Rosa herself I
11:32
know you didn't want to speak
11:33
um you know in English on here if you
11:35
know I know you speak very good English
11:36
but what we could do is just have a
11:38
quick word about you and Elena can
11:41
translate for us um I mean your
11:42
experience and what's brought you to to
11:44

12:18
working four years on the opposition
12:21
is
12:26
I now know the possibilities that our
12:29
town has the defects that it has and the
12:33
opportunities that it has
12:41
it's now the time to make everything a
12:44
