The Junts municipal group in Ripoll announced on Tuesday that it was withdrawing from the motion of censure against the mayor Sílvia Orriols. Surprisingly, neither the leader of the group, Montsina Llimós, nor the spokesperson and candidate for mayor in the negotiations, Maria Soldevila, made it public, but rather the third councillor of the formation, Ferran Raigon (Ripoll, 2003). The press conference was called with only two hours' notice and they asked this young councillor, who turned 22 on 9 February, if he wanted to speak. "I said yes, but I recognise that it was all quite hasty."
