Noia Opposition Files Absolute Majority Censure Motion Against Mayor

Backed by nine councillors under a detailed 12-condition pact, the motion is scheduled for plenary debate on August 11.

Overview

  • A June 10 Constitutional Court ruling struck down restrictions on transfuge-supported censure motions, triggering a surge of challenges in Galicia.
  • PSdeG-PSOE, BNG, Marea Cidadá and unaffiliated councillor Luis Alamancos formed the four-party coalition that lodged the motion.
  • Their 12-point pact demands institutional legality, financial oversight and enhanced public services to reverse alleged transparency failures and infrastructure decline under Mayor Santiago Freire.
  • Socialist Francisco Pérez Caamaño is the coalition’s consensus candidate and promises a plural, transparent administration focused on citizen trust and strategic planning.
  • The motion is slated for an August 11 plenary vote ahead of the summer recess, marking the most complex of several censure efforts across Galicia.
