Martiño Noriega Sánchez

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martiño Noriega Sánchez (born February 22, 1975) is a Spanish physician and politician.

Early life and education[edit]

He was born on February 22, 1975, in La Coruña.[1] After growing up in the Ensanche district of Santiago de Compostela, he moved to the municipality of Teo at the age of five. He has a degree in medicine from the University of Santiago de Compostela, where he also obtained the Diploma de Estudios Avanzados in public health in 2010.

Career[edit]

He specialized in family medicine in the health area of Santiago (CS Fontiñas, CHUS) and later worked in 061 until 2007.[2]

In 1994[3] he began his militancy in the Galician Nationalist Bloc, of which he was a member until February 2012,[4] when he left and became part of Anova. In 2007[5] he won the elections in the municipality of Teo, of which he was mayor until 2015.[6] Throughout his mandate, several initiatives stood out,[7] such as making public the urban planning "Urbanismo en rede", energy transition or the controversial remunicipalization of water, which has ended up in court with a judgment of the Contentious Administrative Court number 1 of Santiago, which rejected the claim of the municipal government to receive 2 070 220 euros[8] by the supplying company. On the contrary, the company requests 4.7 million euros as liquidation of the service, which would place the municipality in a serious deficit situation.

After the 15M movement, he took aim again at his home city, presenting himself as head of the list of the Compostela Aberta candidacy in the 2015 municipal elections for the City Council of Santiago de Compostela.[9] After his victory, he was invested mayor of Santiago on June 13, 2015, with the support of the councilors of the BNG, succeeding Agustín Hernández in office.[10]

In January 2017, he presented together with journalist Daniel Salgado their joint work "A contradicción permanente. Conversa sobre cinco anos de política convulsa. 2012 - 2017"[11]

In January 2019, he decides to appeal the ruling of the Contentious Administrative Court number 2 of Santiago de Compostela by which the city council is condemned to compensate the company Doal for more than half a million euros[12] after the remunicipalization of the tow truck service and the ORA. Said ruling belongs to one of the four trials faced by the consistory after municipalizing the ORA, since the company Setex demands a compensation of 500,000 euros for the ownership of the parking meters and a claim for the use of the municipal warehouse.[13]

In September 2018 he announced his intention to be re-elected as mayoral candidate for the municipal elections in May 2019.[14] He wanted to repeat with the same government team to try to give continuity to the political capital and accumulated experience.[15] He was not reelected.
