An assembly is a group of members of an organization who meet periodically to make decisions about a specific area or scope of the organization.
Assemblies hold meetings, some are private and some are open. If they are open, it is possible to participate in them (for example: attending if the capacity allows it, adding points to the agenda, or commenting on the proposals and decisions taken by this organ).
Examples: A general assembly (which meets once a year to define the organisation's main lines of action as well as its executive bodies by vote), an equality advisory council (which meets every two months to make proposals on how to improve gender relations in the organisation), an evaluation commission (which meets every month to monitor a process) or a guarantee body (which collects incidents, abuses or proposals to improve decision-making procedures) are all examples of assemblies.

About this assembly
The municipal council serves as the municipality's deliberative body, comprising elected councilors whose numbers vary based on population size. Led by the mayor—who holds executive authority—this body sets broad local policy directions by voting on the budget and managing municipal assets. Its operations rely on a clear hierarchy in which deputy mayors assist the mayor in specific areas, while specialized committees review matters before they are presented at public meetings.
In its day-to-day operations, the council focuses on public service and local development. It performs statutory functions such as civil registry management while also overseeing urban planning, the maintenance of primary schools, and local social services. As a cornerstone of local democracy, the municipal council works to maintain social cohesion and address residents' practical needs, thereby ensuring a high quality of life within the community.
