Hall of ceremonies at the Formentera Day Centre to host inauguration of incoming CiF legislature

fi legislatura2011This Friday 12 June marks the end of the 2011-2015 legislative session of the Formentera Council ('Consell de Formentera' or 'CiF'). Then—as per the elections held 24 May—Saturday at 12 noon, an inaugural ceremony will make official the formation of the new Formentera Island Council.

The event will be held in the hall of ceremonies of the Formentera Day Centre, the title deeds of which came into the hands of the Council two months ago. The decision to hold the inauguration in the hall—a spacious, well-lit space at the ground floor level of the day centre—was based on the jump this year from 13 to 17 councillors along with the fact that the CiF inaugural ceremony is typically heavily-attended by municipal authorities, agents of the media and the general public.

The function will begin with the appointment of members of the interim bureau and move on to an examination of member credentials. Next, the ceremony will proceed to the formal appointment of the new local councillors, and immediately following, the election to the Formentera Council of a president. The person selected for this position will close the ceremony with a speech.
