PP and Four PBBI Councillors File No-Confidence Bid to Reclaim Ribeira Mayoralty

The move ends the 2023 tripartite, with a 13 October plenary that could make Mariola Sampedro Ribeira’s first female mayor.

Overview

  • The motion was registered at the municipal registry with 14 signatures from the PP’s 10 councillors and PBBI’s Vicente Mariño de Bricio, Herminia Pouso, Tania Redondo and Fernando Abraldes.
  • PBBI councillor Juan Luis Furones did not back the filing.
  • The municipal plenary to debate the motion is scheduled for 13 October at 12:00, when approval would install PP leader Mariola Sampedro as mayor.
  • Press briefings by Vicente Mariño and Mariola Sampedro are planned for this afternoon to explain the decision.
  • The filing ruptures the BNG–PBBI–PSOE pact that has governed since 2023 despite the PP winning the most seats in the last municipal election.
