Surprise in Sencelles: all councilors from El Pi resign except the mayor.

SimpleRenewal or discontent? These are two issues that divide the people of Sencelles regarding the resignation of three of the four councilors of the regionalist party El Pi en Sencelles.

Jerònia Campaner, Miquel Fiol, and Pedro Llabrés have resigned from their positions as councilors. The first two resigned from the governing team and from their positions as councilors, while the last, Pedro Llabrés, only resigned from his positions on the governing team and will retain his position as a councilor in the opposition.

According to Joan Carles Verd, mayor of Sencelles, this decision is due to reasons "already agreed upon with them before the summer. The surprising thing," Verd adds, "was that Llabrés didn't resign; he changed his mind at the last minute." Verd declined to comment further on the new situation: "Our intention is to highlight these two people with new people eager to work and continue the governing pact." Apparently, the intention is none other than to prepare for the regionalists' future candidacy for the City Council.

Beyond what the mayor has said or has refrained from saying, it's worth noting that, in the case of both men, they have been alongside Verd, supporting him, for years. For example, Llabrés entered municipal politics with Verd more than 20 years ago. But this is not the case with Jerònia Campaner, who joined El Pi for the first time this term and was seen as a possible future replacement for Verd to lead El Pi's candidacy. The councilors who are leaving office declined to comment.

In the case of Miquel Fiol, we know for certain, as the mayor says, that it is a generational change, since this publication has learned that among the new positions that will join the municipal government is Joana Victoria Fiol, number 15 on the list and daughter of the councilor who is leaving the position. Therefore, all the rest of the people who were on the list before Fiol will have had to resign from their positions.

The two other names agreed to enter this change, and of which only one will be included for now, have not been revealed.

Now, El Pi de Sencelles is left with only two councilors and the mayor, and with the support of Volem Sencelles and the PSOE. Therefore, the fact that Pedro Llabrés has not left his position as councilor leaves the government team in a minority.

Let us remember that the one who won the elections in number of votes was the PP, but with the same number of councilors as El Pi, four. Therefore, now PP (4), MÁS Unidas (1) and Pedro Llabrés as an unaffiliated councilor, all of them from the opposition, have a majority over the government team.
