The municipal assembly of the PNV of Santurtzi has elected the councillor of Culture, Sport and Euskera, Itziar Carrocera Fernández, as candidate for the mayor of Santurtzi , following the resignation of Karmele Tubilla.
According to the party in a statement, with the appointment the PNV "will enter a solid and stable new phase at the head of the City Council, with responsible management, the impetus of strategic projects and reaffirming its commitment to the future of Santurtzi".
The PNV has explained that the new phase is also born of "humility and self-criticism" because, according to it, "we know that in recent times there have been decisions and situations that have not created confidence in the citizens".
The party has also pointed out that the election of Carrocera demonstrates "internal cohesion and willingness to continue to strengthen the jeltzale project in the municipality".
Carrocera, 49, who studied Magisterium, is currently a Councillor for Culture, Sport and Euskera, led the Department of Equality and Social Action of the Municipality of Santurtzi from 2019 to 2023 and presided over the Residence of Our Lady of Begoña from 2019 to 2020.
According to the PNV, its trajectory combines "experience in municipal management, commitment to public service and close connection with the social and cultural fabric of Santurtzi." In addition, the party stresses that management capacity, knowledge of the functioning of the City Council and its capacity for dialogue are "essential to strengthen institutional stability and further progress on major future projects".
In his address to the Assembly, Carrocera has stated that he assumes responsibility "with closeness, humility and respect for all citizens."
On the other hand, Elkarrekin Podemos has announced that he will vote for the candidacy of EH Bildu at the investiture session on March 5, following the agreement reached between the two political parties to form a progressive government in the municipality of Bizkaia.
