At the moment, Asier Larrauri has not yet officially tendered his resignation. By law, you must do this in writing. That will probably happen in the next few hours. From that moment on, there is a ten-day period to elect the new mayor.
Xabier Ortuzar He will be the deputy mayor of the Bermeo City Council and Nadia Nemeh the second, according to sources from the independent civic platform Guzan to Euskadi Irratia. The agreement signed with EH Bildu states that Asier Larrauri should be mayor and independent Xabier Ortuzar should be deputy mayor.
The platform has indicated that in the municipal elections, it is not the brand or the party that is voted for, but the candidate, which is why it has indicated that if Larrauri does not become mayor, it will be up to Ortuzar to take over the command staff and they have indicated that they will accept another alternative. Therefore, he said, the ball is in EH Bildu’s court.
For example, Guzan sources have assured Euskadi Irratia that if the sovereignist coalition does not abide by the agreement between the two formations, the PNV will occupy the mayoralty.
The independent citizens’ platform has signed an agreement with EH Bildu to appoint Asier Larrauri as mayor, who resigned yesterday after a traffic accident and exceeding the alcohol limit.
Larrauri has not officially tendered his resignation yet. By law, you must do this in writing. It can be assumed that he will do so at any moment, and once the resignation has been officially submitted, there will be a ten-day window to elect the new mayor. It should be remembered that the PNV obtained 8 councilors, EH Bildu 5 and the civic platform Guzan 4.
