Properly, the Mayor of Almuñécar’s 2nd-in-command achieved sufficient votes to safe the mayoralty for his celebration, however the penalties will likely be recognized yr.
Benavides has received probably the most votes in 9 of the final eleven municipal elections however owing to a willpower to maintain him from workplace by a slightly unusual political alliance, the PP, regardless of having fewer council seats and voters, has saved him from the mayor’s baton for the final three legislative cycles.
The decisive vote got here from the far-left celebration IU-Podemos, as was the case within the final municipal elections in 2019. Paco Fernández Morgan, who leads the IU and has been a trainer for 40 years, determined that his private animosity in the direction of Juan Carlos Benavides took priority over the left-wing ideology of his celebration, and voted in favour of a conservative mayor.
As defined in an article throughout the printed model of the journal (which comes out this Friday) such a call may have repercussions for his celebration in subsequent yr’s elections. Having solely adequate votes in 2019 to acquire one seat within the City Council (representing a drop in seats), he had no worries about supporting the right-wing candidate again then as a result of the following elections have been 4 years away.
Nonetheless, repeating this manoeuvre simply over a yr away from the municipal elections may properly have dire penalties for his celebration existence in Almuñécar.
In any case, if the desires of left-wing voters that voted for him in 2019 was to have a right-wing mayor, they’d have voted for her celebration. If those self same voters shared his aversion to Benavides, they may have voted for the socialists (PSOE) that will have at the least been voting for the ‘left.’
However to imagine that the people who voted for his far-left formation in 2019 all share his dislike Benavides is a harmful gamble on the very least.
Anyway, there may be one group of residents which are removed from pleased with each politician within the Council, as a result of the debating session previous to voting went on far longer than anticipated, owing to councillors being determined (maybe) to clarify why they have been going to vote as they supposed.
Consequently, a youngsters’s dancing efficiency, scheduled to happen within the auditorium that day needed to be cancelled, leaving the moms so completely furious that the police had their work reduce out for them making an attempt to cease them bursting into the auditorium and voicing their discontent to the culprits’ faces.
