Socialists refuse to back government's Transparency Law
Congress on Thursday approved one of the Popular Party (PP) government's star pieces of legislation: the Transparency Law.

WELCOME TO MY BLOG
Dear Friends,
As part of my policy of transparency, of listening and dialogue, I created an English Facebook page as a means of communicating with the citizens of XÃ bia. It has been very successful, however I realise that not all of our citizens have Facebook pages even though they actively use the internet. For this reason I am developing this Blog, through which I will try to communicate issues and events of importance and interest to our citizens. At the same time I would like to encourage everyone to contact me with their concerns or problems related to living in XÃ bia and I will do my best to reply within a reasonable timeframe. I hope that you will find this new initiative helpful.
