Overview

• The motion to reprove Martín Pérez Aranda and strip him of his areas failed after a 10–10 tie created by the absence of Compromís councillor Valentina Cortegoso.
• Amparo Orts rejected opposition proposals to create an informational commission and to refer the case to the Ministerio Fiscal, using her casting vote in both instances.
• Pérez Aranda, who is the mayor’s sentimental partner, remained silent throughout the session and retains his Security and Fiestas responsibilities.
• PP, Ciudadanos and Vox demanded his resignation, citing publicly circulated images of a kick and obscene gestures at a town festival for which he previously apologized.
• Compromís and the PSPV had already passed a motion censuring his conduct without seeking reprobation, and Compromís’s spokesman said the extraordinary session would cost €6,000.
