The until now spokesperson for the BComú municipal group in Barcelona City Council, Jordi Martíwill leave the City Council to join the team of the new Minister of Culture, Ernest Urtasun (Sumar), in “the next few days”, as Secretary of State for Culture.
The formation led by former mayor Ada Colau announced this in a statement after Urtasun himself explained it at a press conference this Tuesday. BComú emphasizes that Martí “will continue with its history of supporting culture”.
“Especially, to the cultural rights with a perspective of social and gender inclusion in which Barcelona has been a pioneer,” stressed the municipal group, which has reported that the farewell will take effect in the plenary session this Friday.
Colau number two
Martí has been linked to the City Council since the 90s: in his first stage he was responsible for the Institut de Cultura de Barcelona (Icub) and entered as councilor of the PSC in the mandate of former mayor Jordi Hereu, in 2011.
In his second stage, he was municipal manager in Colau’s first term in 2015 and was mayor again in 2019 (this time for the commons), when he became one of the former mayor’s trusted people, and was a councilor for the Presidency and Deputy Mayor for Culture and Education.
Janet Sanz, new spokesperson
Martí’s departure implies changes in the municipal group of the commons, of which Janet Sanz will be spokesperson (until now deputy spokesperson, a position that will be assumed by councilor Gemma Tarafa).
Paul Gonzalezwho ran as number 10 in the municipal elections and served as Councilor for Education in the last term, will join the municipal group as councilor, which has nine councilors in this term.
