San Pedro Manrique relieves its deputy mayor by Mayor's resolution

The City Council of San Pedro Manrique has changed its deputy mayor. A Mayoral resolution dated September 28, 2026, removes Diego Castillo Jiménez and appoints Jesús Torregrosa Redondo to the position. The agreement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Soria on Monday, October 5, 2026, issue number 115, page 3391, with the official reference BOPSO-115-05102026.

The announcement occupies a brief space in the Local Administration section of the provincial gazette and bears the signature of the town’s mayor, José Antonio Hernández Alonso. The resolution is dated in San Pedro Manrique on the same September 28, 2026, meaning its official publication arrives one week after the decision adopted by the Mayor’s Office.

The removal and the appointment

The published text records in a single administrative operation the departure of one deputy mayor and the entry of another, without the announcement detailing the reasons for the replacement. The data appearing in the gazette are as follows:

• Removed: Diego Castillo Jiménez, until now deputy mayor.
• Appointed: Jesús Torregrosa Redondo, new deputy mayor.
• Deciding body: the Mayor’s Office of San Pedro Manrique.
• Signature of the resolution: José Antonio Hernández Alonso, mayor.
• Date of the resolution: September 28, 2026.
• Publication: Official Gazette of the Province of Soria number 115, of October 5, 2026, page 3391.

Regulatory basis of the publication

The resolution is published, as indicated by the announcement itself, for the purposes of the provisions of article 46.1 of the Regulations on the Organization, Operation, and Legal Regime of Local Entities, approved by Royal Decree 2568/1986, of November 28. This precept is what requires official publicity in the provincial gazette for the appointments and removals of deputy mayors of local corporations.

The announcement incorporates no further content than the reference to the agreement, the two names affected, the date of the resolution, and the signature of the mayor, a common format in this type of municipal communications. The text also does not detail the areas or delegations that the new deputy mayor will assume.

A routine procedure in the provincial gazette

Mayoral resolutions ordering the removal and appointment of deputy mayors are a recurring presence in the Official Gazette of the Province of Soria. In previous months, the same gazette has reported similar movements in other Soria city councils, such as those published by the councils of Torlengua and Vinuesa during the summer of 2026, always using the same formula of reference to the local regime regulations.

In the case of San Pedro Manrique, the change affects the municipal government structure at a time when the corporation keeps other matters of interest to the residents open, including those related to the water supply of the region, which are the subject of actions by the Ebro Hydrographic Confederation also published in this bulletin.

What this means for residents

The position of deputy mayor is the first called upon to substitute for the mayor in case of absence, vacancy, or illness, and may receive delegations of functions and powers from the Mayor’s Office. Therefore, the replacement published now modifies who occupies that reference position within the local government team and, consequently, who can assume the ordinary direction of the City Council when the mayor is unavailable.

The publication in the official bulletin is the procedure that provides publicity and formal record of the change, so that any resident or interested party can know the updated composition of the municipal government of San Pedro Manrique and the exact date from which the decision is officially recorded.
