Political tensions in Guadalajara have intensified regarding the city's administration. During a State of the City debate, Mayor Ana Guarinos defended her record, claiming the City Council has fulfilled or is executing 96% of its commitments, specifically highlighting progress in public housing and new construction licenses.

In opposition, Socialist candidate Alberto Rojo accused the Mayor of managing an “imaginary Guadalajara,” citing high taxes and declining service quality. This criticism has been expanded by the Socialist Municipal Group, led by Lucía de Luz, who has demanded action on dangerous sinkholes and criticized a 1.5 million euro asphalt plan for allegedly neglecting significant potholes. 

Furthermore, the PSOE is calling for the suspension of activity licenses for a low-cost gas station near residential buildings in the SUE-30 area, citing safety and mobility concerns. The group has urged the Mayor to meet with the ‘La Chopera’ neighborhood association to find legal alternatives to the station’s operation.
