Jimena under new management (tomorrow)

JIMENA DE LA FRONTERA The end of an era is in the making. As we have been reporting, the Mayor-elect, Francisco Pineda, is in hospital, having had a brain haemorrage during the campaign. So all the Councillors-elect swore their oath of office, with the exception of Pineda. Another Council Session  was called for tomorrow, Monday, for Pineda to appear or have his place taken by the third on the electoral list, Guillermo Ruiz, who is slated to become the next Mayor, representing the PP after almost 40 years of PSOE hegemony. At the end of the ceremony, Ruiz was greeted by the former Mayor, Pascual Collado, within our earshot (photo). "I'm here to help," said Collado. The actual Mayoral investiture will take place tomorrow. SEE THE STORY ON ALL SEVEN CAMPO DE GIBRALTAR MUNICIPALITIES.
