Ourense municipal political opposition

Overview

Political tensions in Ourense have intensified as opposition groups challenge the current administration led by Mayor Gonzalo Pérez Jácome.

Ana Méndez Gil of the Partido Popular de Galicia has announced a campaign to reclaim the mayoralty in the 2027 municipal elections. She criticized the current management as “paralised and without management,” pledging to focus on municipal finances, transparency, and audits to restore the city’s status.

Concurrently, the BNG municipal group has filed formal allegations against the local government regarding proposed job position reforms. BNG spokesperson Luis Seara described the restructuring as a “payment of favors with public funds” designed to reward political allies. The BNG claims the plan to create new “macro-departments” lacks mandatory audit reports and violates statutes regarding individualized evaluations for salary supplements.
