The mayor-elect of Puertollano (Ciudad Real), Miguel Ángel Ruiz (PP), has advanced that he will govern by asserting his simple majority of ten councilors -out of a total of 21- within the municipal corporation and that no agreement is foreseen of governance with Vox, who will occupy two seats in the plenary hall when the City Council is constituted, on June 17.
In this town there was a historic turnaround in the municipal elections of 28M after this notable increase in the PP. Until now, the PSOE had always governed. In addition, in this city Isabel Rodríguez was mayor until Pedro Sánchez signed her as government spokesperson and Minister of Territorial Policy.
The future mayor of the industrial city has stressed that the municipal group of the PP will assert its weight to govern under a criterion of independence with respect to the rest of the formations, although he has qualified that this factor is not an obstacle to engaging in conversations in order to reach possible “specific agreements” that facilitate municipal management on certain issues.
On the other hand, Ruiz has confirmed that one of his first decisions after receiving the command rod will be to lower his salary by 5%, with which he will earn 54,051 euros per year, although he has yet to specify the legal mechanism to formalize a decision that In any case, he will completely disassociate himself from the management of his company and dispense with his salary and emoluments as a partner of the company.
