Vigo and Xunta de Galicia administrative disputes

Overview

Legal and administrative tensions have emerged between the Vigo City Council and the Xunta de Galicia regarding urban development and property rights.

The High Court of Justice of Galicia (TSXG) overturned a decision by the Vigo City Council that had annulled a construction license for an association center in the former Lalín Street courthouse. The court found the suspension was not justified by public domain protection, but rather by ownership doubts that did not warrant halting works. In response, the Xunta is considering seeking compensation from the City Council for approximately 600,000 euros in costs incurred due to the project interruption.

Separately, Vigo Mayor Abel Caballero has called on the Xunta to provide adequate compensation and relocation for approximately 300 people affected by expropriations related to the Ofimático Project. The Mayor has urged the regional government to facilitate property exchanges and ensure residents losing homes are relocated within their current neighborhoods to maintain social environments, while criticizing a perceived lack of dialogue with affected citizens.
