After a pact with Sant Feliu en Comú Podem and Tots Som Sant Feliu, the local brand of Junts that groups this formation with other sensibilities, ERC has secured the mayoralty of the capital of the Baix Llobregat. Unless there is a big surprise, Oriol Bossa will be the first mayor of a pro-independence party since the recovery of democracy in Sant Feliu de Llobregat from this Saturday.
Thus, the government pact between the comuns and ERC is fulfilled, which established after the last municipal elections that three years as mayor would be for Lídia Muñoz and the rest for Bossa. And this despite the proposal of the PSC, which has offered its support to the commons as guarantors of "stability" in a frustrated attempt to avoid change in a period of "instability and uncertainty", the Socialists explained in a statement.
"Tots has been a preferred partner throughout the legislature," recalled Muñoz, who will resign from the mayor's office this afternoon in the municipal plenary session, during the presentation of the agreement. “I appreciate the predisposition of the political formations”, added Bossa, the budding mayor. "We do not understand the destructive opposition, but as a way of building a city," Tots spokesman Jaume Manyoses concluded.
With the city under construction due to the expected execution of the burying of the train tracks, the investiture agreement signed this Wednesday in the Àustries room of the Palau Falguera, includes six programmatic points and several clauses to monitor and evaluate compliance, such as a joint commission that will ensure that it is carried out and that will meet once a month.
In fact, Tots "reserves the right to request the presentation of a motion of confidence in the event of non-compliance with the commitments that derive from the investiture agreement," reads the agreement. "It has been three or four weeks of intense negotiation," Bossa said.
The pact commits to "approve a planning proposal" in the area of the Salut stream, with the intention of gaining "land for facilities and green areas connecting the urban center with the Collserola Natural Park" and facilitating the promotion of a “Public rental housing stock”.
On the other hand, it is intended to promote a local security plan with the ambition of "covering the 65 positions contemplated depending on the possibilities" in the local police force. They also want to promote equipment to remedy the lack of space in some entities and approve a project to achieve more sheltered social housing for the elderly.
In addition, they want to create an axis for pedestrians and cyclists in Pla street "dignifying the entrances to the Parc Agrari del Baix Llobregat" and improving the connection with the towns of Molins de Rei and Sant Joan Despí in a second phase. Finally, a "bilateral relationship" is also established between the coalition government and the municipal group of Tots.
