Today saw the formal inauguration of the new Council for Zurgena (see photo below).
As in the past 2 occasions that I have been part of it it followed a similar process. Fortunately they know my limitations and Noelia took over as President allowing me to play a less prominent role!
All the new councillors swore their promises before the public audience and after that the secret ballot to elect our Mayor took place with the result being that which was expected, Luis as Mayor.
He then made a short speech promising to work hard with his councillors for the betterment of our villages. So now it is time to get down to hard work.
I discovered at the end of the meeting that a late decision had been made to go for a 4 course meal to Kalevala (€25 per head) but I (being an antisocial animal) declined. (Think Sue is fed up of the time I am already spending at the TH).

Can you check my blog as well.
Great to see local democratic processes in action—congratulations to the newly inaugurated council! Community engagement and strong leadership are key to shaping a vibrant future. For those interested in how leadership and civic responsibility have played out on a broader historical scale, especially in Latin America, I highly recommend visiting Simon Bolivar Education Foundation. It’s a fascinating resource on Simón Bolívar and the movements that shaped nations. Understanding past leaders can inspire present-day governance. Keep up the excellent work documenting local events—your blog gives real insight into life in Zurgena!
