To the blow that Cs suffered in the regional elections of the past 19-J, where he failed to obtain parliamentary representation, now he is joined by the complicated situation that the formation is going through in the municipalities of Linares (Jaén) and Sanlúcar de Barrameda (Cádiz).
In the municipality of Jaen, the main city council of Andalusia where those of the orange formation still had power, a motion of censure against its mayor, Raúl Caro-Accino, promoted by PSOE, IU and CILU Linares and which had the votes against, prospered. of Cs, PP and Linares First.
In the second case, that of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, where the former leader of Cs, Juan Marín, is from, the pact between PSOE-Cs that kept both forces in the municipal government is about to blow up. In this case, the socialist mayor handed over, without prior consultation, the Department of Urban Planning to Javier Purrúa, a member expelled from the party, which has caused the formation to threaten to leave the consistory.
The socialist Javier Perales (PSOE) snatched the baton from Rául Caro-Accino (Cs) yesterday when, after two failed attempts and four months of waiting, the motion of censure against the orange formation that lost control of the most important city council prospered Andalusia where they still had a quota of power.
Caro-Accino reached the mayor's office in the 2019 municipal elections with the support of PP and CILU Linares, when they managed to add more seats than the PSOE, a formation that managed to win the elections although without a sufficient majority. The three parties were beginning a new path that became crooked when in January 2021 the 3 CILU councilors left the government, leaving the CS and PP in the minority. In March, the PSOE made a first attempt at a motion of censure, however, and at the request of the orange formation, the Court of Jaén issued a precautionary measure that invalidated the municipal diligence by which this plenary was convened but which expired. At the end of june. Finally, yesterday, with the votes in favor of PSOE, IU and CILU Linares, Javier Perales proclaimed himself first mayor of the Jaén municipality.
The outgoing mayor pointed out that he is leaving the city of Linares "better than I found it" and after reviewing what he considers the achievements of the local government (Cs-PP) has pointed out to the PSOE that they arrive at the Mayor's Office "without any support" because "the city doesn't want them." "Today they are not hurting me, they are hurting this city," he pointed out.
For his part, Perales indicated that his objective is to "reestablish the channels of social participation" and thus "tear down the wall between the citizens and the City Council", since he said he was open to returning representation to all groups on the Board of Local Government, "without exclusions".
In the Cadiz town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, the relationship between socialists and oranges is not going through a good time either, so much so that Cs threatened last Friday to leave the municipal government if the mayor, Víctor Mora (PSOE), remains in his decision to deliver Urbanismo to Javier Purrúa, a member expelled from the party.
In a note, Cs gave a margin of 48 hours for the mayor to rectify this appointment, although none of the affected parties has yet ruled on the matter today, the date on which the offer expired.
The one who has spoken on this issue has been Carmen Álvarez, IU spokesperson in the town, who has described as "regrettable" the "spectacle" of the rupture of the pact of the PSOE with Cs in the Sanlúcar City Council and the "scandal regarding the change of powers, supported by the mayor, Víctor Mora (PSOE)".
The situation "does nothing more than show that Víctor Mora's PSOE only cares about maintaining the seats at any price, leaving the city adrift, while worrying about continuing to move chips within his private farmhouse." Thus, IU has lamented "that a new case of turncoat, allegedly protected or promoted, by the main party of the government coalition, is not only staining the democratic cleanliness that the municipal institution should have, but also affecting municipal management".
For IU, the restructuring of powers decreed by Víctor Mora "does not respond at all to a need to improve the management of an already exhausted and clueless government team, but supposedly to the payment of services rendered to those who, from their own party, they consider to be betraying own principles and those of the coalition government agreement itself". "We cannot understand that the Urban Development Management should be given competence to someone who is known to have close family interests when carrying out the stabilization of the workforce," he added.
