Dear all,

Spain was yesterday the first country in the Eurpean Union to vote on the wrongly named European Constitution (it's not really a new Constitution but a new Treaty). The turnout was very low 42% and the results were as follows:

YES 76%
NO 17%
BLANC (none of the above) 6%

The green parties were divided during the campaing, Los Verdes (Spanish Greens) campaigned for the YES and ICV-Els Verds (Catalan Greens) for the NO. Interstingly the Basque Contry had the highest turnout of negative votes of all regions, and there are no Basque greens.

If any one wants mote detailed information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Best regards
Tamara
