MichaelOrtega - I reckon you understate matters.  It's better to assume that all you hear from the vendors et al bares very little relation to the truth when buying property in Spain.  They have very little meaningful legislation that penalises misrepresentation.   So why not elaborate with a few "porkies?"  

You cannot even trust your own solicitor to do the basic essential checks - virtually nothing is ever recorded in witing, other than the sales contract to sign that is produced by the Notary at the end of the process...but it's a bit late by then.

Never have the caveat emptor words been so fully justified.

Sounds bad, but your comments seem to be based on presumption and I suggest you need to avoid escalating the matter until you have hard evidence.

You don't mention the reason that the new President was voted in - was that straight forward and a democratic vote?  There can be good reasons to sack an administrator was that possibility not discussed at the EGM?  The law of dafamation is applied quite regularly in Spain and you may be better off seeking external assistance once you are able to be sure of established a strong case and be sure of strong support from your community.  Then consider calling an EGM which can be achieved with 25% of folk backing this demand.

Of course, in these situations it depends on the detail and the attitude of the individuals, but for me it sounds like you probably did the right thing.

Why not "go with the flow" and open a Spanish bank account?  There are advantages.
