I was at the meeting (I have no dog in this race...I went to be aware of what is happening). The location was at the big event space at Nelson's Bistro and the place was absolutely packed with many layers of standing folks all around the open sides of the space as well as full seating inside. It was a powerful, very well run , intelligent meeting. There were video presentations (between 5-10) of people who have worked at the beach for 20, 30 ,40 etc years. Tiny small business's (like the guy who walks around selling oysters, a tiny hole in the wall colmado) and these people talked about how they raised their 2-3-4 children/ cousins/family all supported from their business .... It was moving and very well done. When the head of the Association spoke he was very positive (in fact the whole meeting was very positive) praising President Albinder ,the development of Sosua, the growth of tourism (which they were taking credit for) and the development of the beach. Jamas / Never....That was the word used and the point of the whole meeting. They will never accept the 2 plazas. That was the whole point.
It was a fabulous show of strength and unity.
