The mayor of Bilbao

Juan María Aburto

(Bilbao, 1961) will undergo surgery in the coming weeks for a tumor in the duodenum that he himself announced on Twitter during the celebration of International Health Day.

"A hard blow", as Aburto has recognized, who has

already suffered two similar operations in 2008 and in 2014.

Aburto also needed a recovery period after

undergoing surgery on his hip

with the placement of a prosthesis in November 2020.

Amaia Arregi

(PNV) councilor responsible for Citizen Security will be the acting mayor.

"I am leaving the City Council temporarily,"

said Aburto in a short video in which he confirmed that this turmo was detected during a routine control a few weeks ago.

Since then, it has maintained its institutional agenda and organized the distribution of tasks in the

Governing Board that it shares with the PSE-EE

.

The first intervention to also remove a

small tumor

was carried out in 2008 and, six years later and as Employment Counselor, he was again subjected to a similar intervention.

Aburto has dismissed his message with a football joke

reminding Athletic "that you owe me a Cup"

after the final played with Real last Saturday and ten days before the one they will play against FC Barcelona again in Seville.

Juan Mari Aburto was

appointed mayor of Bilbao in June 2015

assuming the witness left by

Iñaki Azkuna who, after a long illness, died in March 2014

.

Aburto is an official of the Diputación de Bizkaia and his political career began in the early 1990s within the Basque Government in the Department of the Interior.

Later, he returned to Bizkaia to take over the Social Action area from 2003 on.

He was also a

deputy for the Presidency with José Luis Bilbao

and the Lehendakari Urkullu claimed him to take over the Department of Employment and Social Policies in December 2012.
