We can now reflect on the latest voting from one of our LATIN AMERICAN countries, this time from CHILE. We publish it first as general news and then Jeff will move it t0 the sub-page for Chile under OUR WORLD.
OGAE Rest of the world will send one inclusive vote to OGAE International to be published first on the OGAE website but because we have several individual countries inside R O W, we have allowed them to vote as a country as well and we will publish such votes if we receive a voting picture from such a country. We got the first such voting picture, from our members in COSTA RICA and here is how these members have voted.
Well done to David Ruiz García from Brazil who has completed the final Good Luck message which will be given to Edurne who will represent Spain at this year’s contest. I’m impressed by the use of the Spanish flag in the sunset.
