Compromís per Sagunt calls for councillor Jorge Vidal's resignation over waste management
The Compromís per Sagunt group is calling for the resignation of councillor Jorge Vidal, in charge of the municipal company SAG, over what it calls inefficient management of urban waste in Sagunto.
Compromís per Sagunt, the local branch of the Valencian nationalist coalition Compromís, founded in January 2010 to contest the 2011 Corts Valencianes (Valencian regional parliament) elections and defined as a confluence of progressive Valencian nationalism, the modern left and political ecology, has demanded the resignation of councillor Jorge Vidal (PSPV-PSOE, the Valencian Socialist party), who oversees the municipal company SAG, responsible for urban waste management in Sagunto. The group says his management has been inefficient. The demand comes amid a strike by urban cleaning staff, called by the unions CGT and CCOO. CGT is an anarcho-syndicalist union founded in Spain in 1979 that, unlike CCOO and UGT, is not legally recognised as a most representative union. Compromís also criticises the municipal government's handling of talks with unions during the dispute. The party had previously denounced alleged privatisation within SAG itself.
