José Hila

José Francisco Hila Vargas (born 1972) is a Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) politician.

[4] In March 2021, Hila attracted scrutiny for having cited the Law of Historical Memory to change the names of three streets he believed to have connotations to Francoist Spain.

The streets honoured the Admirals Churruca, Gravina and Cervera, all of whom died decades before the Spanish Civil War.

[5][6][7][8] A proposal was also reversed on renaming a street named after Toledo, due to it being the site of a battle won by the Nationalists.

[9] In the 2023 elections, Hila was defeated and passed to being leader of the opposition, as Jaime Martínez Llabrés [es] of the People's Party (PP) became mayor.
