Nuria Marin (PSC), mayor of L’Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelonès) and winner of the last municipal ones in the city, has reorganized its municipal government for the 2023-2027 mandate. L’Hospitalet City Council has published this Tuesday, June 20, the satchel municipal, that is, the political organization chart to manage the city. A distribution of responsibilities that repeats the objective compared to that of 2019-2023: “to face forcefully the third great transformation of the city“.

“The new folder is the embodiment of the political will to make this mandate that we started the dand a collective ambition which should lead us towards a city that is more territorially balanced, greener, more social, more equipped and safer& rdquor ;, has defended the mayoress Núria Marín in reference to the restructuring of the new municipal government with which to “guarantee” this third great transformation of L’ Hospitalet. An urban redevelopment that includes the transformation of Can Rigal, the PDU Biopol-Granvia and the undergrounding of the Renfe tracksa project that Marín herself has recognized can take around a decade to complete.
The new organization chart is made up of eight areas and seven mayoral positions – one less given that Marín herself assumes the area of Mayoralty-Presidency. For his part, Francesc Belver he repeats as spokesman for the government team. Despite the fact that the number of tenures is the same, the new scheme implies changes with respect to local political leadership, with councilors promoted, demoted or disappeared with respect to the previous local executive.
Belver and Husillos, first deputy mayors

Thus, after taking charge of the Social Services area for years, Husillos will assume the area of Security, Mobility and Human Resources -the latter, already in his havingr the past mandate-.
Precisely, security was one of the portfolios that experienced the most controversy during the last stage of the past mandate, due to the clashes between the main union of the Urban Guard, the SPL-CMEand the then Councilor for Security, Pepe Castro, who did not appear on the PSC lists in these municipalities.
