The leader of Sant Feliu in Comú Podem, Lídia Muñoz, has resigned this afternoon from the mayor’s office through an extraordinary municipal plenary session. In this way, she complies with the municipal government agreement with ERC, reached after the last local elections and which established three years of mayorship for the commons and the last of the legislature for the Republicans.
Sant Feliu en Comú Podem and ERC have once again won the support of Tots Som Sant Feliu, the local Junts brand that unites this party with people of other sensibilities, for the investiture of the first deputy mayor, Oriol Bossa, until now. next Saturday.
Muñoz will be remembered as the mayor with whom the eternally demanded burying of the train tracks began. Although this work, key to the future of the Baix Llobregat capital, has been demanded by many municipal governments and mayors, it was under her leadership that it began after forty years of institutional and neighborhood claims. She also faced the covid pandemic managing a town of 45,463 inhabitants.
“Today’s is an act of democratic normality, of fulfilling the word given. I take a step aside, but we will continue working with the same enthusiasm,” said Muñoz, who will continue in the municipal government. In fact, she will be the candidate of her formation in next year’s municipal elections.
During his farewell speech, Muñoz recalled the hard times of the pandemic and the work of the Consistory to provide Sant Feliu de Llobregat with a “social shield”. He has also appreciated the “tone” of his colleagues in the municipal plenary session during the legislature.
“We are getting the burying, without 14-storey blocks, in a participatory way”, he remarked, evoking the work that will mark the future of the town and the citizen consultation that was carried out to define the planning model that will sew up the urban wound that divides the city in two.
Muñoz has also had a memory for “other women who paved the way for us in a masculinized world” such as politics and has claimed the legacy of the PSUC, Initiative, United Left and Sant Feliu en Comú Podem.
