Subject: SPAIN: Four more towns recognise Gay couples.

Following the lead of the Basque city of Vitoria, four
other Spanish towns have set up registers of 'non-
official' couples. These are Sant Joan de Despi
(Barcelona), Getafe and Leganes (industrial
suburbs of Madrid) and Elche (3rd largest town in
Alicante). The mayor of Vitoria is a member of the
Basque nationalist PNV. The others towns are
ruled by the PSOE, the party of government in
Spain. None of the major regional capitals have
adopted the idea, and the conservative city
government in Madrid has not even considered it.
