The budgets of 190,000 inhabitants They now depend on the motion of confidence to the mayor of the PP that governs as a minority with a local party (ULEG). Your decision is a Vox challengethe only potential partner of the Government, because if Resenco loses that vote, the conservative party will have a month to decide if it allies with PSOE, more Madrid and Podemos to present an alternative candidate.
Article 197 bis 5 of the Organic Law 5/1985, of the general electoral regime, it states that the mayor may raise a Trust linked, among other matters, to budgets. “In this case, trust will be understood as the project and approved if within one month since the rejection of the issue of trust, there is no motion of censure with alternative candidate to mayor, or if it does not prosper,” is read, read in the standard.
In this sense, a motion of confidence can be carried out that reduces the need for the absolute majority of the plenary to the Simple majoritythat is, to have more votes in favor than against the measure. Therefore, the first Leganense mayor could carry out the budgets with the favorable vote of his municipal group and that of his government partners, Union by Leganés, added to an abstention of the two Vox councilors or two councilors of any other municipal group. This figure of the confidence motion can only be used Once a year.
