Who are the new gvt team in Orihuela and how can you contact the Councillor for International Residents?

After the recent local elections in Spain, the Ayuntamiento de Orihuela, the town hall, now has new leadership and councillors formed a coalition of the Partido Popular (PP) and VOX parties.

As part of the reshuffle, the Councillorship for Equality has been scrapped, to be replaced by the Councillorship for Families.

This change has also been made in the Ayuntamientos of Burgos, Valladolid, Toledo, Ciudad Real in Spain, with VOX party leader Santiago Abascal stating that he rejects gender violence as “an ideological concept”.

In Orihuela, the Department of Social Welfare, LGTBI Equality and Rural Development has also received a makeover, being renamed simply ‘Social Welfare’ following a pact between new Mayor Pepe Vegar (PP) and the local VOX leader Manuel Mestre (Vox).

Since they are public servants, it is possible for regular residents to contact their local MPs and Councillors via official channels to air any complaints and make suggestions.

The new government team is as follows:

On the part of the PP:

Mayor: Pepe Vegara Durá
Councillor for Social Welfare, Equality and Human Resources: María Agustina Rodríguez Navarro
Councillor for Infrastructures and Maintenance, Rural Development, Employment and Emergencies: Victor Valverde Sáez
Councillor for Town Planning and Housing, Heritage (including Historical Heritage), Industry and Major Projects: Matías Ruiz Peñalver
Councillor for Festivities, Modernisation, Solid Urban Waste Collection and Street Cleaning: Rocio Ortuño Cartagena
Councillor for Contracting, Internal Regulations, Public Safety and Vehicle Fleet: Mónica Pastor Felices
Councillor for Education and Commerce: Vicente Pina López
Councillor for Sports and Transport: Victor Manuel Sigüenza Riquelme
Councillor for Agriculture, Environment and Markets: Noelia Grao López
Councillor for Consumer Affairs, Transparency and Health: Irene Celdrán Ruiz

On the part of VOX:

Councillor for Culture and Tourism: Gonzalo Damián Montoya Alcocer
Councillor for Citizen Participation and Youth: Ana Isabel García Mateo
Councillor for Family and Statistics: María Carmen Portugal Bueno
Councillor for Orihuela Costa (Beaches, International Residents, Maintenance Services and Co-ordination): Manuel Mestre Barea

For foreign citizens living in the Orihuela area, it is possible to contact the new Councillor for International Residents and the department he oversees in Orihuela Costa via the email address inmigracion@orihuela.es or by phoning +34 96 530 66 45.
