The municipal group Sumem x Santpedor has publicly demanded the resignation of councillor Jordi Soteras, accusing him of democratic fraud for representing Aliança Catalana using a Junts seat.

Political tension in Santpedor has peaked following the events of last Tuesday's plenary session. Sumem x Santpedor issued a statement describing Soteras's actions as a political immorality and a betrayal of the voters' trust from the 2023 elections.

"Democracy is strengthened when dialogue and coexistence prevail over confrontation, hatred, and tension."

The party also criticized CUP members for their involvement in riots at the Sant Andreu chapel, stating that such violent attitudes polarize society and damage the reputation of the town in the Bages region.
