Lluís Ginjaume, an architect, has resigned as the comuns’ representative on the steering committee of the National Institute of Housing. His "express resignation" was submitted by letter to the síndic general, Carles Ensenyat, and has been accepted and published in the Official Bulletin of the General Council.
Ginjaume was appointed on 12 September 2024 to fill the seat left vacant when Marta Alberch became director of the institute. He served on the committee for roughly one year and three months.
According to sources, Ginjaume cited the risk of a conflict of interest linked to his professional activity as an architect as the reason for stepping down. With his departure, the position is now vacant.
The seven parish consuls (the comuns) must agree on a replacement. Ginjaume’s original selection required complex negotiations among parish corporations of different political colours and with varying positions on housing policy, a process that will need to be repeated to fill the vacancy.
