MEDIA CAMPAIGN

                     

**Prospective Class Members: Companies, SMEs, and Investors**

The campaign documents identify key sectors impacted by Spain’s budget rollovers, which cause economic harm through delayed projects, non-competitive procurement, and disrupted EU fund execution (e.g., NextGenerationEU, RRF).

– Follow up with phone calls to confirm receipt and schedule discussions, ensuring GDPR-compliant handling of responses.
– Example Email Template:
“`
Subject: Opportunity to Address Economic Harm from Spanish Budget Delays
Dear [Recipient Name],
I am contacting you regarding the significant economic impacts caused by Spain’s failure to approve the 2025 General State Budgets, leading to project delays and non-competitive procurement practices. As [Company Name] operates in [Sector], you may have experienced losses from stalled projects or unfair tender processes. I invite you to a confidential consultation to explore compensation through a collective action, at no initial cost or obligation. Please reply to schedule a discussion or contact me at contact@cocoo.uk.
Sincerely, Oscar Moya Lledó
“`

– **Association Outreach**:
– Email Policy or Advocacy teams with a campaign overview, emphasizing shared member interests (e.g., RRF delays, procurement violations). Request dissemination via newsletters, webinars, or member meetings.
– Propose partnerships, such as co-authored policy papers or joint events, to amplify reach.
– Use multilingual (English/Spanish) communications for Spanish associations to ensure accessibility.
– Follow up with calls to confirm engagement and explore collaboration opportunities.

– **Leveraging Web Insights**:
– The European Innovation Council (EIC) supports SMEs and tech firms, many of which may be affected by Spain’s budget delays, particularly in digitalization (e.g., Spain’s Digital Kit initiative). Associations like BusinessEurope and CEOE can connect with EIC-funded SMEs. [](https://eic.ec.europa.eu/index_en)[](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:52023DC0570)
– Horizon Europe’s funding for SMEs and innovation (70% earmarked for SMEs) suggests additional victims in technology and energy sectors, reachable via BusinessEurope or WindEurope.[](https://research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/funding/funding-opportunities/funding-programmes-and-open-calls/horizon-europe_en)

### **Deep Online Search Notes**
– **Sources Used**: Company websites, Companies House, Registro Mercantil, OpenCorporates, association websites, and web insights from provided results. I cross-referenced campaign documents (e.g., Strategy File 1) to identify named companies (Balfour Beatty, ACS, etc.) and sectors.
– **Limitations**: GDPR restricts access to private email addresses, so I relied on publicly listed corporate contacts. Some smaller SMEs lack public contact details, requiring association outreach. Spanish registry data (e.g., Registro Mercantil) may require paid access for full details.
– **Critical Examination**: I avoided speculative victim lists, focusing only on companies with documented or plausible harm based on campaign evidence (e.g., AIReF reports, RRF delays). Web results were used sparingly to ensure relevance to the PGE case, avoiding unrelated sectors (e.g., real estate, non-EU firms).

### **Conclusion**
This list of prospective class members (Balfour Beatty, ACS, Ferrovial, Capgemini, AWS, etc.) and associations (CBI, CEOE, FIEC, BusinessEurope, etc.) provides a robust foundation for building the PGE campaign’s claimant base. By targeting Investor Relations and Legal departments with tailored emails and leveraging associations for broader reach, the campaign can efficiently recruit victims across construction, technology, energy, healthcare, and agriculture. Immediate next steps include sending initial outreach emails to listed companies and associations, followed by phone follow-ups to secure consultations and build the COCOO Claimant Trust.


Our legal case is most significantly strengthened by the “RRF.NEXTGEN” document. It allows us to elevate our claim beyond a purely domestic administrative failure. It provides the crucial link between Spain’s budget impasse and its obligations under the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility. We can now argue that the “abnormal functioning” of its public service is not only harming individual companies but is also actively jeopardizing the deployment of EU funds and the fulfillment of Spain’s recovery plan milestones. This adds a powerful rule of law dimension that will resonate at the European Commission level and gives our international class members a more potent grievance. The “ECT. X.CAMPAIGN.ANN” document further suggests a potential angle related to the Energy Charter Treaty, allowing us to frame the harm to energy sector investors as a breach of international investment protection standards, adding another formidable legal weapon to our arsenal.

For our mediation goal, the “Procurement via Pressure Campaign Design” file is the master plan. It formalizes our strategy of not merely suing for damages but creating a ‘problem’ so undeniable that the administration will be forced to seek a negotiated solution. The document outlines how to position COCOO as the only entity that understands the full scope of the problem, has cataloged the victims, and can therefore act as the sole, credible mediator to resolve the dispute we have brought to light. Our campaign is designed to create the very conditions that necessitate a mediator, and we will be perfectly positioned to fill that role.

Finally, for our Unsolicited Proposal, all the documents converge to build the business case. The “Start research” file identified the core problem of administrative opacity and inefficiency. The “RRF.NEXTGEN” file highlights the need for better monitoring of public funds. The “Procurement via Pressure” document frames the ultimate goal as being awarded a contract to solve the identified problem. From these, we can crystallize our USP: a comprehensive “Fiscal Transparency and Public Contracts Integrity” platform. This is a combined consultancy and technology solution that we can design to address the precise failures we have documented in Spain. It would offer real-time budget tracking, an early-warning system for procurement irregularities, and a dispute resolution module. When the pressure from our campaign forces the Spanish government to seek a solution to restore credibility, we will be ready to present them with a fully conceptualized, bespoke proposal that they will have no choice but to consider.

 The design of our media campaign is the critical step that weaponizes our legal and economic research, transforming it into a powerful magnet for attracting our class members and applying maximum public pressure. By integrating the principles from our internal strategy documents, we will launch a multi-platform, multi-phase campaign that establishes our authority, details the injury, and calls the victims to action.

Our campaign will proceed in three distinct phases, leveraging the unique strengths of LinkedIn for professional credibility, X for public pressure and media engagement, and Meta’s platforms for highly targeted lead generation.

The first phase is “The Position of Authority.” Over two weeks, we will use LinkedIn to establish COCOO as the preeminent expert in the field. We will publish a series of insightful articles authored by our senior team, dissecting abstract issues like the economic cost of legislative delays and the hidden risks in cross-border public procurement. On X, we will share key statistics and insights from these articles, using hashtags like #PublicProcurement, #RuleOfLaw, and #EconomicPolicy to engage with journalists, academics, and policy experts. The goal is to build a reputation for expertise before we ever mention Spain.

The second phase is “The Unveiling.” This is where we launch the specific campaign. Our website will go live with the call to action we have already drafted. The centrepiece will be a flagship article on LinkedIn, detailing the anatomy of Spain’s administrative failure and its harmful impact on British and European businesses, directly referencing the ‘abnormal functioning’ of public services as the basis for a tort claim. We will use LinkedIn’s ad platform, accessible via business.linkedin.com, to promote this article directly to executives and legal counsel in our target sectors and countries. Simultaneously, on X, using ads.twitter.com, we will launch a coordinated thread summarizing our findings, tagging Spanish ministries, EU institutions like DG ECFIN, and major financial media. Our unique hashtag will unify the conversation.

The third and most crucial phase is “The Recruitment.” This is a sustained, multi-week drive to bring class members into the fold. On LinkedIn, we will publish a steady stream of content tailored to each affected sector, from energy to IT, showing specific examples of harm and ending every post with a clear call to action. On Meta’s platforms, using their business suite at business.facebook.com, we will run a highly targeted lead generation campaign. The ads will ask a direct question—”Has your business been harmed by unpredictable public sector contracts in Spain?”—and will link to a confidential registration form on our website. This is not about public debate; it is about efficiently and discreetly identifying and signing up our claimants.

This entire media strategy is the public execution of our “Procurement via Pressure” design. We are creating an environment where the Spanish government is seen as administratively flawed and our target companies feel understood and see a clear path to redress. By demonstrating our deep understanding of the problem and positioning ourselves as the only logical solution, we not only gather our class members but also lay the groundwork for our eventual role as mediator and paid public sector consultant.
