The spokesperson for Junts per Tortosa, Meritxell Roigé, explained that legislation requires the resignation to be submitted via written document through the Registry, addressed specifically to the Plenary, and not through a mayoral decree, as allegedly occurred in Tortosa. This procedure is crucial for legally enabling the election of a new mayor.
“"This generates unnecessary legal uncertainty for the City Council and for the city as a whole."
Roigé emphasized that this irregularity is not a minor issue, as the correct procedure is what grants legal validity to the vacancy and allows for the successor's election. The party believes the handling of the resignation summarizes Jordan's mandate: “improvisation, lack of rigor, and inability to manage the City Council with guarantees.”
Following the mayor's refusal to review the regulations and correct the situation, Junts per Tortosa has submitted a formal request to the municipal secretary demanding adherence to the procedures established by the Organic Law of the General Electoral Regime and the Law Regulating the Bases of Local Regime.
