Municipal groups from Fortaleza, Nueva Canarias (the three councilors expelled from the local government), and PP-AV have formally requested an extraordinary plenary session. The purpose is for the municipal corporation to officially acknowledge the new political situation, which involves the mayor and five government councilors becoming non-attached members.

This move comes after a report from the General Secretariat of the City Council, dated March 16, confirmed that the affected councilors should be considered non-attached. This status is provided for in local regulations for elected officials who leave their original political group.

Despite this report, Mayor Francisco García chose not to include this item in the plenary session on March 26. He cited another opinion from the Government of Canarias that stated the opposite, as well as the filing of urgent precautionary measures in court by his party, in addition to their affiliation with the BNR party to demonstrate their continued participation in the coalition.

The opposition emphasizes the importance of ensuring transparency and legal certainty in the functioning of the City Council, adapting its structure to the new political reality. They believe the plenary session should address the implications of this change for the organization of committees, resource allocation, and institutional operations.

Regulations stipulate that the session cannot be delayed more than 15 working days from its request, placing it around May 4. If the mayor does not convene it within this period, it will automatically be scheduled for the tenth working day thereafter, approximately mid-May. However, García could deny the celebration with a reasoned resolution if he deems it does not meet the requirements, provided he does so within the first two weeks.
