Galicia political landscape shifts ahead of 2027 municipal elections

Political preparations for the May 2027 municipal elections in Galicia are underway, with significant shifts expected across major cities. In Vigo, A Coruña, and Ferrol, the political landscape remains competitive. In A Coruña, the PP shows an upward trend, though current Mayor Inés Rey may retain her position with BNG support. In Santiago, independent lists could play a decisive role in local governance.

Movemento Sumar Galicia has officially designated its candidates for several key cities. Gloria Alonso has been chosen to lead the candidacy in Vigo, aiming to provide a left-wing alternative to the current power structures held by the PSOE, BNG, and PP. Other candidates selected by the organization include Trinidad Palacios for A Coruña and Antón García for Ferrol. Alonso has emphasized that housing will be a primary focus of her municipal project.
