The events took place around 10:20 AM, when Mayor Mario Urrea communicated the decision to terminate the operating contract for the social center bar. The accused, partner of the concession holder, expressed his disagreement with the measure.
According to the town council, the contract termination is due to several breaches of the established conditions. During the discussion, the man allegedly punched the mayor and threatened both him and a councilor and the comptroller who were accompanying him at the time.
After the incident, the alleged assailant left the scene. The Mossos d'Esquadra received the complaint and located and arrested the man in the afternoon in the town of El Cogul.
“"I suffered a minor contusion. It was notified within the legal timeframe, but he did not accept it."
Mayor Urrea confirmed that he suffered a "minor contusion" and explained that the incident occurred because the concession holder refused to sign the termination notice. Despite the tension, Urrea hopes to resolve the conflict "amicably".
