Luis Zubieta Lacámara, mayor of the Zaragoza town of Zuera, died this Saturday in a traffic accident after being hit by a van while riding a bicycle.
The accident occurred at kilometer 541,500 of the N-330, in the municipality of Gurrea de Gállego, in the province of Huesca, around 11:25. The Civil Guard is still investigating the details of the event.
Zubieta, 57, had just been re-elected mayor of Zuera, in what was to be his third consecutive term, after the last elections on May 28 thanks to a three-way agreement between the PSOE, Cs-Tú Aragón and the FIA.
In the municipality, of about 8,600 inhabitants, he has always actively participated in volunteer actions of the associative fabric in the social, cultural and sports fields.
Likewise, he was president of the Aragonese Federation of Municipalities, Regions and Provinces since 2018.
Zubieta, who had been part of the PSOE lists to the Cortes of Aragon, was going to be appointed deputy in the Aragonese Parliament when Javier Lambán is elected autonomous senator for Aragon.
Lambán himself has paid tribute to Zubieta on his Twitter account. “Luis Zubieta has just died. Terrible news. I feel desolation and pain. What an injustice. There was no better person, a more loyal man, a more valuable friend. I will do it personally, but a big hug to his family. I cry with them. I am indignant with them. May the earth be light to you, friend,” he wrote.
The president of the PP of Aragon and winner of the regional elections, Jorge Azcón, has been “dismayed” by the death of Luis Zubieta and has transferred from his party the “deepest condolences to his family, his friends and his colleagues from the PSOE”.
Likewise, the mayoress of Zaragoza, Natalia Chueca (PP), has conveyed to her family the condolences of the Corporation to her family and friends “in these painful moments”.
Lola Ranera, socialist councilor in the City Council of the Aragonese capital, has made clear “her pain and dismay at the loss of a friend and colleague, Luis Zubieta.” “A great socialist committed to his country and, above all, to his city.”
