In Alt Empordà, Junts per Catalunya has publicly distanced itself from a no-confidence motion filed by its three councillors in Pont de Molins, Girona. The motion, presented this week, seeks to change the mayoralty and was brought by the Junts councillors, who are in opposition, together with one ERC councillor.
The regional branch said it felt “perplexity and disagreement” over the decision. Party officials said the move was taken without consultation or consensus from either the comarcal or Vegueria leadership.
The motion involves the three Junts councillors and the ERC councillor, who are seeking to remove the current mayor. The case has exposed a split between local representatives and the party’s regional structure, with questions now over party discipline and local autonomy within Junts per Catalunya.
It is not yet clear what disciplinary action, if any, Junts per Catalunya in Alt Empordà may take against the councillors involved. The result of the motion, and its impact on local government in Pont de Molins, will be followed closely.
