Overview
- Mancomunidade do Morrazo definitively approved the new waste-fee ordinance with backing from BNG, PSOE of Cangas and Bueu, and Esquerda Unida, as PSOE of Moaña abstained, Alternativa dos Veciños and a non‑attached councillor voted no, and the PP was absent after walking out.
- The session in Moaña was punctuated by the expulsion of PP councillor Estela Santomé by local police after repeated warnings, prompting the PP delegation to leave; Santomé later reported arm pain and the PP demanded President Leticia Santos resign.
- Authorities deployed seven Policía Local officers and six Guardia Civil agents, checked IDs at the door, limited public access to 34 seats, and cordoned the building, a response to serious disturbances during October’s initial approval in Cangas.
- The ordinance raises household bills from €67 to €126 a year and restructures business charges into multi-tier brackets, with higher bands for larger venues; leaders cite rising Sogama treatment costs, reported at €122.10 per tonne, to justify the adjustment.
- Charges will not be levied until 2027 and include discounts and bonifications available through January 1, 2027, while merchant and hospitality groups such as Fecimo and Areca review possible court challenges and the PP signals further political steps.
