When the village in southern Spain was painted blue to suit the Smurfs, the intention was that it was going to be white again once the pr-trick for the blue little creatures was over. But on Sunday it was said that the village would remain blue.
The colour blue has shown itself to be good for the businesses in town, tourists have flocked too the village in the mountains a couple of miles from the the great touristtown of Marbella just because of the colour. That was when the idea of letting the village remain blue was brought up.
So, what to do about it? Well, vote about it. And that happened at Sunday.
According to David Fernández, the mayor of Júzcar, 184 votes had been counted. 141 of the votes were Yes-votes while 33 of them said No, four of the votes were invalid and six had chosen to leave a blank ballot. This is the numbers that the Spanish newspaper El mundo is reporting on their website.
So it looks like the pr-trick of painting the entire village blue, which the filmcompany Sony made in the beginning of June, for the launch of the 3D-movie "The smurfs", are going to be the everyday for the villagers of Júzcar.
But if all the blue are starting to feel like a big black eye they are, of course, aloud to a new election.
