So, you won't speak as PPI spokesperson but you'll try to explain the views of the other PPI members (?) One statement contradicts the other one.

It's almost always a good thing to meet new people, and attending ESF can be a good chance to promote us. However, who are we when you talk about our views to be presented in ESF? Each pirate party separately? Or PPI? No one can act as PPI spokesperson without an agenda agreed by PPI members.

That's right. As I said in former mails, there is no problem in pirate parties members attending ESF; however, as Felix points, those members would represent themselves -or at most their pirate parties if allowed to by them- at the ESF, never PPI as long as PPI don't allow them to -as long as PPI members don't agree a joint agenda-.

Spanish Pirate Party, Partido Pirata or PIRATA. The Spanish PP is a very different party which I don't like :P Regards,
