politics

The ruling Unión Social Progresista de Corvera (dt. Social-Progressive Union of Corvera ) is a local party that the current mayor Moro , who originally belonged to the PSOE , founded for the local elections in 2003. After the local elections of 2003, it provides the mayor and six of the other 16 council members and governs together with the Partido Popular (3 seats). Corvera had previously been ruled by the PSOE since the first post-French elections in 1979, but after internal quarrels, Moro's split and an unfortunate election campaign, it only received 3 seats. Partido Popular had never participated in the municipal government before.
