Barcelona’s candidates for the Sindicatura de Greuges, the city’s Ombudsman office, took part in a public debate in the Catalan capital. The event, held in Barcelona and organised by the Ajuntament de Barcelona, gave residents a chance to hear how each candidate would approach the role.
The Sindicatura de Greuges is an independent body that defends the rights and freedoms of Barcelona’s citizens against possible abuses by the municipal administration. The debate focused on city issues and on how the office can respond to complaints and help mediate disputes between residents and the city council.
Candidates used the session to set out their priorities for the post and explain their approach to public service. For readers following local government coverage, our news tag page brings together more reporting on civic and municipal affairs across Catalonia.
The public debate is part of the wider selection process for the office, which includes public participation and scrutiny. That process is intended to help residents understand the role before a final decision is made.
For official context on the city government behind the process, see the Ajuntament de Barcelona. More information on the office itself is available from the Barcelona Ombudsman page.
