In Mataró, the current mayor, the socialist David Bote, has once again imposed himself with 11 councilors, although with a wear and tear of two councilors. The result obtained by the government partners of the PSC, En Comú Podem, will not allow the government pact to be reissued since the purple formation of Sergi Morales continues with two councilors. On the other hand, Junts per Catalunya, which repeated with Alfons Canela, retains the two councilors and could enter the pools to form a government. The right-wing parties burst into the capital of Maresme with force, with four councilors from Vox and two from the PP, to the detriment of C's who disappears.
The new consistory will be made up of seven political formations, two more than in this last term. The candidacy of the Socialist Party has obtained 33.22% of the votes. Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya has been the second force, followed by VOX, Together for Mataró, Partido Popular, En Comú Podem Mataró and Candidacy of Unidad Popular.
