Presidential Coup at Condado




The political machinations over Mileniun and the level 1 presidency continued over the weekend...

I received a request dated 14th August calling the Level 2 presidents to an EGM on the 17th to remove Mr Phillip Tann as the incumbent Level 1 president.

Its worth backtracking slightly at this point to clarify the presidential "structure" of the resort...

  • There are 46 Presidents within the community
  • These 46 elect 5 Presidents at Level 2
  • The 5 presidents at level 2 elect the Level 1 President

Each Level has its own responsibilities and function with the resort , the Level 3 presidents are required to approve minor expenditure and repairs to their individual gardens / block area. The level 2 presidents are responsible for the facilities, street lights, cleaning etc. The level 1 president covers off security and the day to day strategy and financial administration.


This EGM request by Mileniun was in direct violation of the agreed constitution of the resort as specified under Article 21. To call a such an EGM with 24 hours of the request is not legal

If you were being exceptionally cynical, you would possibly surmise that this EGM had been called at a time to ensure that certain presidents concerned would be absent from the resort ??

The level 1 president responded to the request and agreed to hold an EGM within thirty to forty-five days of the original request (as per the agreed articles of the resort) the revised date for the EGM was suggested as  18th September..

To be clear this was not an attempt to delay the EGM and Mr Tann was happy to attend any meeting and despite being supported at all the previous meetings by the Level 2 Presidents he has already stated that he was prepared to stand down from his position if the majority voted to replace him.


There was no response to this request and the next thing we were all aware of, on Friday 17th  was the notification sent directly from Mileniun to all the owners informing us that we have a new president

Is this what passes for democracy in Spain in 2012 ?
