EH Bildu will chair six of the 11 committees and the PP the remaining five. Elkarrekin Podemos has been omitted on this occasion as it does not have enough members to run a committee.
EH Bildu and Partido Popular have agreed to divide the presidencies of the 11 municipal committees of the Vitoria-Gasteiz City Council, uniting their votes with those of Elkarrekin Podemos, despite the abstention of the groups that make up the municipal government, PSE-EE and PNV.
As during the previous legislature, the opposition groups chair the 11 municipal committees, although on this occasion Elkarrekin Podemos is left out as it does not have enough members to head a committee.
For example, EH Bildu will chair six of the 11 committees: the Treasury Committee and the Special Accounts Committee; that of Human Resources; that of Cleaning and Environment; those of social policy and youth and equality and coexistence; and the Basque Language, Culture and Education and Sports, Health and Cooperation Committee.
For its part, the People’s Party will chair the five remaining committees: Economic Promotion, Employment, Trade and Tourism and Public Enterprises; the City, Urbanism and Housing model; those of Public Space, Districts, Mobility and Traffic; those of Security, Open Government and Modernization of Governance; and the Special Committee on Suggestions and Claims.
The PNV denounces “the cynicism of EH Bildu”
The PNV’s spokesperson in the church council, Beatriz Artolazabal, denounced “EH Bildu’s cynicism” when he “agreeed” with the PP on the distribution of commissions in the capital Alava.
Sources from the PSE-EE, EH Bildu, PP and Elkarrekin Podemos have assured Europa Press that the local government has been handing over control of the commissions to opposition groups “for years”. “It is a law that is not written or contemplated in the ordinance, but is carried out by custom and custom,” they added.
