Overview
- Pedro Yáñez was elected mayor on Nov. 24 with four of seven council votes, ending the PSOE-led tenure of Amable Fernández.
- Two councillors elected on PSOE lists moved to non‑attached status and joined the PP to file and pass the motion of censure.
- A judge in Ourense had suspended the late‑October session over signature formalities before lifting the precautionary measure and allowing the vote.
- Yáñez warned that municipal finances are critical, saying accounts lack funds for the next two payrolls and citing a roughly €2 million budget and costs tied to a seniors' center.
- Fernández pledged a constructive opposition and argued the move defies voters' intent, while the provincial PSOE announced a Diputación motion condemning transfuguismo.
