Vinuesa delegates the mayoralty to his deputy mayor for one week

The Mayor’s Office of Vinuesa has delegated its functions and powers to the first deputy mayor, Mónica Hernández Pacheco, during the period from September 6 to September 13, 2026, both inclusive, during which the mayor will be absent from the town. The decision was adopted by Resolution No. 189/2023, dated September 8, 2023, and published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Soria, number 103, dated September 4, 2026.

The delegation is based on Article 23 of Law 7/1985, Regulating the Bases of Local Government, and Article 47 of Royal Legislative Decree 2568/1986, of November 28, which approves the Regulations on the Organization, Operation, and Legal Regime of Local Entities. The resolution, signed in Vinuesa on September 2, 2026, by Mayor Juan Ramón Soria Marina, ensures the continuity of municipal management during the mayor’s absence.

Scope of the delegation

The delegation grants the deputy mayor full exercise of the functions and powers inherent to the Mayor’s Office during the specified period, so that the administrative activity of the municipality is not interrupted. The measure takes effect on the indicated dates, without prejudice to its mandatory publication in the provincial gazette and on the Corporation’s notice board.

Procedures and communication

The resolution outlines several steps for its effectiveness and notification:

• Notify the first deputy mayor, Mónica Hernández Pacheco, of the resolution for her knowledge and purposes.
• Likewise, notify the Municipal Plenary of the resolution adopted.
• Publish the delegation in the Official Gazette of the Province of Soria and on the Corporation’s notice board.

Regulatory framework

The delegation of functions of the Mayor’s Office is an ordinary mechanism provided for in local government legislation to ensure the representation and management of the municipality when the mayor is temporarily absent. In this case, the mayor of Vinuesa exercises this faculty through a resolution of the Mayor’s Office, which is subject to the publicity and communication procedures required by current regulations.

The measure is relevant for the residents of Vinuesa, as it guarantees that municipal services and decisions remain operational during the week of the mayor’s absence, with the deputy mayor leading the management and with full powers to resolve matters that arise during that period.
