Mérida opposition demands explanations over Urbanism Department departures

Political opposition groups in Mérida, including PP, Por Mérida, and Vox, are demanding accountability from Mayor Antonio Rodríguez Osuna following the resignation of the General Director of Urbanism, Rafael Romero-Camacho.

In a formal filing, Romero-Camacho attributed his departure to repeated obstacles encountered while working with Councilor Silvia Fernández. His allegations include difficulties accessing documents and data regarding pending licenses. While the PSOE municipal government expressed gratitude for his four months of service, they declined to comment on the specific contents of his letter, characterizing it as a personal communication addressed to the mayor.

The PP has called for a public explanation from the mayor regarding his awareness of these issues and the measures being taken to resolve them. The opposition is also questioning the stability of the department, noting the recent turnover of directors, and is requesting access to documentation concerning departmental instructions, communications, and the transfer of the head of the Building and Planning Section.
