Barcelona has opened the period for residents and organisations to back candidates for the city’s Síndic de Greuges, the office that handles complaints and defends citizens’ rights.

The process is open to people and entities in Barcelona, and it will remain available until June. The city says this is part of the selection process for the next head of the office.

The [community](https://barna.news/tag/community/) process matters because the Síndic de Greuges is a public-facing role, and local backing is one of the steps needed for candidacies to move forward.

For readers following city politics and civic life in Barcelona, this is a straightforward chance to take part in a formal municipal process. More coverage of local public affairs is available on our [community](https://barna.news/tag/community/) page.

For official information on the office itself, see the [Síndic de Greuges de Barcelona](https://www.sindic.barcelona/?ref=barna.news) and the [Barcelona City Council](https://ajuntament.barcelona.cat/?ref=barna.news).
