The two groups, which have four councilors and an absolute majority, presented the motion yesterday evening at the town hall
The socialist leader of Ribera d’Ondara, Francesc Sabanés, has been ousted from office by a motion of censure promoted by Acord de Ribera d’Ondara – the former ERC brand in the municipality – and Aliança Catalana, the formation of extreme right that broke out in the last elections. The two groups, which include four of the council’s seven councillors, registered the motion yesterday evening, as reported by El Punt Avui.
The new batlless will be Elisabet Jové, but Albert Puig will assume the position for four months due to maternity leave
The agreement between Acord and Aliança Catalana establishes that the spokeswoman for Acord, Elisabet Jové—ex-ERC activist—will be the new mayor of Ribera d’Ondara, but that the position will temporarily pass to Aliança’s councilor, Albert It goes up, for four months, as Jové is pregnant and plans to give birth soon. Thus, Ribera d’Ondara will become the second battalion of Aliança Catalana in Catalonia, after this party governed Ripoll since the 2019 elections.
The date for the vote on the motion has not yet been set
The motion of censure against Francesc Sabanés, who governed in the minority for two years, does not yet have a voting date. The municipal regulation states that it must be done within ten working days of its presentation, but the city council secretary asked for time to review the document before accepting it for processing, as explained by El newspaper
