Vote of no confidence against Bildu‘s provincial deputy responsible for waste collection

The Basque National Party, the regional Socialist Party (PSE) and the Popular Party (PP) in Gipuzkoa have filed a vote of no confidence before the provincial council against Juan Carlos Alduntzin, the provincial deputy responsible for the environment and urban planning, and the "imposition" by the provincial council, headed by the left-wing nationalist party Bildu, of its new arrangement for waste collection, as a "severe" measure they trust will constitute a point of inflexion.

Markel Olano has stated that this action is not to his liking, as he is aware of the significance of this motion, describing the measure in Gipuzkoa’s provincial assembly as "tough and without any kind of precedent”.

"It is an outright political condemnation of Bildu’s provincial government ", he stressed. The National Party’s spokesperson has criticised the provincial council’s "imposition" of a waste management model that "calls for a response, a vote of no confidence".

In his view, Bildu "should stop this dynamics of imposition not only in the provincial council but in all those local authorities in which its majority allows it to act in this way". Olano has indicated, therefore, that this is a vote of no confidence "against an imposition" as well as to draw attention to the fact the Juntas Generales, the provincial assembly, "has been robbed of its capacity, of its legitimisation, when planning waste management in Gipuzkoa".

Olano has used the expression "democratic fraud" to describe the attempt by the provincial council headed by Bildu to apply its waste management plan without submitting it to a debate and approval, as appropriate, in the provincial assembly. "That fraud also made this tough response necessary from a democratic perspective", he added.
