Marc Buch will repeat as mayor of Calella due to the JxCat and PSC pact

In the City Council of Calella (Maresme) a change of era has materialized and an end to the political turbulence in which it was plunged since the resignation of its mayoress, Montserrat Candini, who ended up ceding the command rod to his disciple , Marc Buch. After the municipal elections, a pact between Junts, led by Buch, with the renewed PSC of Cindy Rando and Soufian Laroussi, will allow the post-convergent to become mayor again, with a majority that will give him the option to govern in a relatively placid way.

Gone are the disputes and the attempts to dethrone the new JxCat candidate for having abandoned the discipline of PDECat, once the master move by Junts, led by Josep Grima, managed to couple a candidacy led by the two nationalist candidates. A situation that, in Calella, generated great tension and where JxCat has ended up imposing itself as the winning option with six councillors, the force with the most votes.

The generational change that has been established in the Calella City Council with Buch, Grima and Rando will govern leaving the second most voted force, ERC of Xavier Puigdomènech, who has lost a councilor in the electoral contest, in opposition, of the four that had in the previous mandate and of Estimem, the independent formation that he leads, Enric Gómez, who although he denies being the hasty candidacy that the ex-mayor Candini's entourage mounted to counter JxCat, adds his votes to PDECat to obtain representation in the County Council and Provincial Council.

On the other hand, they will also share opposition with a single representative, Sebastián Tejada, the perennial candidate and now the only ruler of En Comú Podem, who has lost three councilors in the electoral fray. The PP of Céline Coronil, who surprised with her return to active politics, and the CUP of Albert Comas.

In the official statement issued by JxCat and PSC they make clear "the good harmony" between the two candidates, who have shared government in the final stretch of the mandate. With the pact, they affirm that they seek stability and prioritize collective interests "above individual and partisan interests." They agree, apart from promoting the projects whose programmatic coincidence is clear, to respect the independence of voting on issues of an ideological nature.
