The Castellbisbal City Council is experiencing moments of tension after the mayor withdrew a councillor's powers, citing a loss of confidence, a decision the councillor deems unjustified and personal.

The SOM VEU councillor in the Castellbisbal City Council has announced the withdrawal of her delegated powers by the mayor. This decision, described as unilateral, comes a month after the councillor requested information about an entity linked to the mayor's family, which has led to speculation about the real motives behind the measure.

"I consider this decision deeply unfair and unjustified. At no point have objective reasons related to my management, performance, or commitment been presented to me. No one can point to poor management, neglect, or lack of work."

the affected councillor
The councillor has affirmed that she has rigorously fulfilled all her responsibilities, without ever having received any warning or unfavorable report. This situation is part of a worrying dynamic of internal communication breakdown and cancellation of government team coordination meetings, which has affected the ordinary functioning of the local administration.
The councillor has stated that the withdrawal of powers does not solve any problem, but rather weakens the municipal government and generates instability, distancing politics from the needs of the residents. Despite the situation, she has reiterated her commitment to continue working with dedication and proximity.
