The PSOE and PP groups in Oleiros have jointly asked for an extraordinary municipal plenary after Mayor Ángel García Seoane canceled the ordinary April session. (laopinioncoruna.es) The request was registered on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, and targets the session that had been expected for Thursday, April 30. García Seoane said there were not enough items for the agenda and that he would not “waste public money” on attendance payments. (laopinioncoruna.es 1) (laopinioncoruna.es 2) PP and PSOE answered with a four-point proposed agenda for the extraordinary session. They want the ordinary plenary calendar restored, a guarantee of opposition participation and oversight rights, a budget report on attendance payments to collegial bodies, and a full accounting of municipal and provincial pay received by councillors and advisers. (laopinioncoruna.es) The dispute centers on how opposition parties can use the monthly plenary. PP and PSOE said the canceled session stopped them from presenting motions, questions and formal requests on municipal issues affecting residents. (laopinioncoruna.es) PP spokesperson Loli Silva said the local government was trying to “silence” the opposition and avoid scrutiny of spending, including the multiuse project in Bastiagueiro. PSOE said the government could cut costs instead by reducing the number of salaried councillors and advisers in Alternativa dos Veciños. (laopinioncoruna.es 1) (laopinioncoruna.es 2) The broader argument is about whether canceling a regular plenary can limit elected councillors’ ability to control the government. In its own criticism of the cancellation, the Galician Nationalist Bloc said the move could come close to infringing Article 23 political participation rights under Spain’s Constitution. (laopinioncoruna.es) Cost is a major line of attack in the fight. PSOE said the governing group and its appointed advisers cost residents €934,128 a year, or 2% of the municipal budget, while PP said the government has 12 full-time councillors and seven advisers. (laopinioncoruna.es) For now, the immediate question is whether García Seoane will call the extraordinary session the opposition has demanded. The conflict has already turned a canceled April meeting into a wider fight over transparency, pay and control inside Oleiros town hall. (laopinioncoruna.es)
