The mayor of Irún, José Antonio Santano, of the PSE-EE, will leave the Mayor’s Office of this Gipuzkoa town, which he has held since 2002, to take up the position of Secretary of State for Transport in the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility led by Minister Óscar . Bridge.
Santano has accepted the proposal that Puente has made to him, so he will leave his position as councilor of the second largest town in Gipuzkoa having just begun his sixth term, according to El Diario Vasco and socialist sources have confirmed to EFE.
The Irunese mayor won the elections again last May and maintained the ten councilors achieved four years earlier. He came to office only with the votes of his group, since the PNV and the PP abstained and Elkarrekin Podemos, his partner in the government of the previous period, supported the EH Bildu candidate.
New challenges
In his new destination, he will work on issues such as rail transport, which he knows well given the importance it has in the border town and when the high-speed train works in Euskadi have not yet been completed, which have been adding delays.
Santano was born in Irún in 1965 and is the father of two children. Graduated in Law from the University of the Basque Country, he obtained his first position in politics in 1983 when he was elected councilor of his city.
