Today is a sad day for me; since 1995 the Government of the Valencian Community has been in the hands of the PP (Partido Popular) and it seems that it we will have the same until 2011.
With this results Valencia will host a Formula One Grand Prix and probably tons of new paper-couché buildings like the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències.
The saddest part is that more than 35% of the population stayed at home; I've always have had the feeling that most of them are more on the left than the right side of the political spectrum; probably the big problem is that the current PSPV (Partit Socialista del País Valencià-PSOE) candidate for the Generalitat is a joke (I would never vote for him) and CPV (Compromís pel País Valencià) has been unable to mobilize enough people.
On days like this I think about changing my living place, luckily on the two villages where I spend most of my free time, Burjassot and Godella, the left parties have won, something specially important in Godella, where the PP was going to expropriate part of the village to bury the metro station and later pay the bill selling the freed space to put buildings of 4 or 5 floors (the current houses are one or two floors high and have been there for ages).
On the other side what I'm seriously considering is moving to another work again, the current job is much better than the previous one, but I've been so unlucky that I'm again working for the local government on two of the biggest projects I'm involved in and it seems that both of them will last for a long time; without a political change I'm sure that it is going to be the same old story, and life is too short to be hitting the same walls for years.
Let's see what happens, probably the main problem is that I need to take a break, maybe a four years one would be a good idea... ;)
