Overview

• Sergi Pelegrí formally registered his resignation as Arbeca mayor on July 15 while investigations for alleged domestic violence and assaulting a Mossos d’Esquadra officer remain active.
• He requested that first deputy mayor Francesc Roset preside over the plenary meeting designated to formalize his resignation.
• A judge granted Pelegrí conditional release after his ex-partner withdrew her domestic violence complaint but both legal cases are still open.
• Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya suspended his membership following his arrest and holds a six-seat majority that ensures the next mayoralty will stay within the party.
• The Ajuntament has ten days to convene a plenary session to appoint a new councilor and elect the next mayor, a process criticized by PSC-aligned Compromís per Arbeca.
