GRUPO Z Election time, once again ANOTHER month, another Spanish General Election, something that has almost seemed inevitable since the last one, all of five months ago, failed to see any party secure a decisive majority. Although the PSOE were easily the largest single party back in April, they failed to agree on any alliances that could have given them a working majority and on Tuesday acting PM Pedro by Simon Russell Sanchez and other party leaders concluded a two day meeting with the King. As no candidate could be agreed on, the government is set to be dissolved next week and there will be an election on 10 November, a Sunday as is usual in Spain. Some commentators say that there is still a slim chance of a last minute agreement before this PM Sanchez and King Felipe pictured recently happens, with the absolute final deadlines for this being midnight on 23 September. Acting premier Sanchez blamed the right wing PP and Ciudadanos for blocking the deal, along with the left leaning Podemos, with an agreement with the latter still seen as the best chance of breaking any deadlock. However the smart money is on the November election, the fourth in as many years.
Facebook: @TheWeekenderSpain FRIDAY 20TH SEPTEMBER 2019 3 La Nucia going to the dogs In recognition of its achievements in animal protection, La Nucia has been chosen to host the third National Campus for Animal Protection and Canine Units, at the end of next month. During the prestigious four-day congress, local police canine units from all over Spain, will take part in workshops, specialist training sessions and practical simulation exercises, designed to create a scenario reflecting the needs of Animal Protection in the technical, scientific and professional fields. A two-day Specialist training course for police canine units, including theoretical and practical sessions, conducted by expert trainers in collaboration of the two large state bodies of police canine units, is also part of the scheduled programme. The event, jointly organised by the Spanish Society of Criminology TSU (SEcrim), the National Union of Chiefs of Local Police Finance Feature provided by... by Andy Mansell (Unijepol), the Spanish Association of Public Safety of Animal Protection (AES- PPA) with the collaboration of the City of La Nucía through the departments of Public Safety and Animal Protection, will also include a national awards ceremony, where Police Canine Units, individual dog handlers and dogs will be commended for their work activities. On the final Saturday, an exhibition starting at 12.00h, open to the general public, designed to promote and give a greater understanding to the work of these special units, will take place at the Camilo Cano Sports Arena, with participation and displays given by the finalists and award winning dogs and handlers. “La Nucía is a reference in Animal Protection at the national level, which is why Unijepol and AESPPA have chosen our municipality for this complete Campus that Jessica Gommans announced the congress details this week includes a Congress, training sessions, delivery of national distinctions and a great exhibition in the Esportiva City”, said Jessica Gommans, Councillor for Animal Protection in the municipality. “Local police from all over Spain of canine units will be Are you getting the service you were promised from your financial adviser? Providing a high level of service to my clients is the key to good financial advice. I expect a face-to-face meeting with each and every one of my clients at least once a year, in addition to regular phone calls and emails. My clients also know that their portfolio is reviewed by me every month, and if at any point I see an opportunity, or something that needs addressing, I contact them immediately. Whilst this will always remain a priority for me, it seems not every financial adviser thinks the same way. At Chorus, more and more clients are walking through our door each day because they’ve either lost contact with their adviser or they are not happy with the level of service they are receiving. I should at this point explain why so many advisers can go ‘AWOL’ after they’ve invested their client’s savings or pensions. Despite it being banned now in the UK, the majority of financial advisory companies in Spain can still take hidden commissions when they recommend investment funds. This means that not only do they often have a very small choice of funds to choose from – sometimes they only have this commission agreement in place with one or two fund houses – but they are also effectively paid for as much as 10 year’s work up front. At this point the adviser simply moves on to the next prospective client, often neglecting a large client-base that would benefit from ongoing advice. Those with financial products in Spain need to be aware that the very key to good financial advice is regular reviews of client portfolios. At Chorus we monitor every fund our clients use on a weekly basis (as we’re fully independent, this is a very broad range), and we look at every single portfolio we manage at least every month. This approach, combined with using well-known, quality institutions, and FCA regulated funds, helps our clients achieve their investment goals. Financial advice is not about setting you up for a five-year plan and then walking away, leaving you to cross your fingers and hope for the best. It 965 641 163 is about agreeing on financial goals, and working together on a regular basis to ensure they are met. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you are not satisfied by the level of service or returns you’ve received from your current www.chorusfinancial.es info@chorusfinancial.es trained in La Nucía, in a theoretical and practical workshops that will use the parks parks, the training camp for rescue dogs.” The event will take place from Wednesday 23rd October to Saturday 26th October at venues across the town.
