Belén Cachafeiro Returns as Forcarei Mayor After No-Confidence Motion

The administration’s first move is to secure stalled budgets to reverse years of fiscal stagnation in Forcarei

Overview

  • A municipal plenary session on July 31 approved the motion 6–5, with five Partido Popular councillors and a non-aligned ex-PSOE member voting to oust the incumbent mayor
  • The motion highlighted six years without an approved budget and the loss of €3 million in subsidies under the previous PSOE leadership
  • Cachafeiro was sworn in before a full council chamber, marking her comeback after serving as mayor from 2012 to 2019
  • She has pledged to restore democratic council operations and address service shortfalls across all 13 parishes
  • The new administration will tap support from the Xunta de Galicia and the Diputación de Pontevedra to secure funding and investments
