Malaga councillor joins opposition party after being expelled for failing breath test

A VELEZ-Malaga councillor expelled from the Ciudadanos party for testing positive on a breath test has joined the Socialist party.

After sitting as an independent for seven months, Antonio Moreno Ocon has now joined the PSOE, giving their coalition with the PA and GIPMTM overall control of the Vélez-Málaga town hall.

Mr Ocón had been expelled in 2015 after being caught three times over the blood alcohol rate while driving in Torre del Mar.

Mayor Antonio Moreno Ferrer said: “I believe in a person like Moreno Ocón who comes here to work in Vélez-Málaga.”
