He mayor of Ourense prevents the opposition from officiating weddings at City Hall. He wants to be the one to marry. “We are making them more enjoyable than anyone else. and we also want to have a different one that opposition councilors are not up to the task“he explains into the microphones.

Thus, Gonzalo Pérez Jácome has assured laSexta that he wants turn Ourense into a wedding city, like Las Vegas. But not everyone is willing to be married by a mayor, also known for his eccentricities.

In the rest of the municipalities of Spain, the couple can choose the councilor to officiate the ceremony, always with the consent of the mayor on duty. But Jácome does not authorize it. The plenary hall is where weddings are celebrated in Ourense, where the mayor not only officiates them but is also able to provide the music. He dares with the Wedding March and with Metálica, as can be seen in the cover video.

The opposition councilor, who previously officiated many of the weddings, believes that the decision is an attack of jealousy. “He intends to increase his popularity and if he doesn’t get it the right way, he gets it the hard way,” explains Pepe Araújo, of the PP.

The people of Ourense are torn between saying ‘yes,’ to Jácome or leaving him alone. “It’s your decision,” says a neighbor. “I wish I could choose who,” adds another. But if you get married in Ourense, have Jácome in your photo album.
