A European has the right to vote in the local and european elections at any place of Europe he resides.So,66.οοο non-Greek citizens of European Union voted in the regional elections.In the municipality of Vamos(Chania-Crete),the pre-elections speeches and pamphlets were also in English)))))))))As it began in english so and finished before the assembled who were voters of Vamos and emanate from countries of European Union and will vote in the elections of Sunday.The fact that 200 from the voters in the Vamos, permanent residents of region,are non-greek has imposed pre-election concentrations in two languages, pamphlets in Greek and English. Particularly satisfied the non-greek permanent residents of Vamos. "We want to know what is going on in the place where now we live permanently. We read the program of candidate mayor in english and we are informed about his plans and make questions so that we know what is better for the municipality and for us ", says Mr Tommy Lane from England. In the Municipality of Vamos the last years the increase of population has been by leaps and bounds- hundreds foreigners English and German pensioners in their majority - bought houses and reside all the time. Beyond the vote, the candidate mayor is compelled to hear also the complaints from the non-greeks,who face problems,the resolution of them is obvious in their countries. At the same time, in the lists of the candidate mayors,non-greek citizens also participate. In the combination of Mr Michelakis there is one English, one German and one Austrian.)))))))(TA NEA)
