EXPOGAYS MAY COUNTER SUE

Following the announcement that the Grupo de Amigos Gay de Benidorm has filed a complaint through the courts for fraud, as they believe that money raised in the recent Gay Pride event has been given to a commercial entity that they didn´t support, rather than a charitable one benefitting the gay community of Benidorm, the organisers of Expogays have now said that they will sue the president of the organisation for libel, counteracting the claims made.

According to a spokesperson for Expogays, "the image of the International Fair has been tarnished by unfounded statements” made by Juan Luis San Nicolás.

The organisers of Expogays wanted to "make it clear that the only existing link with the city of Benidorm and the Association of ALGTB is as exhibitor at the International Fair in 2011" and that "there have been no direct or indirect contact with the Benidorm based gay business association or anybody else involved in the gay pride festival.

Claims are also made that due to the size and administration of the event, it would be impossible for the group to quantify a financial claim in such a short space of time.

Currently, the official beneficiary of funds raised, the Fundación 26 de diciembre, has played down any wrong doing from any side.
