The legislature was full of political tension. A councillor from Juntos por Pinto, Reyes Maestre, changed his mind concerning a motor space project, supporting its construction. This provoked a crisis within the PP-JpP government. On December 22, 2008, a motion of censure was presented by PSOE/IU/JpP against the Popular Party and PSOE member Juan José Martín Nieto was proclaimed as the new mayor, obtaining a majority in the municipal council. The political tension in Pinto was constant. In February 2010, the former mayor Miriam Rabaneda and her sister Tamara Rabaneda, former councillor of the Treasury, were charged for alleged malfeasance due to irregularities in the municipal accounts. The case was subsequently dismissed by a court in the town of Parla. In October 2010, Reyes Maestre was terminated as deputy mayor by the mayor of Pinto. In the municipal elections on 22 May 2011, the Popular Party won another majority and Miriam Rabaneda reclaimed the mayoralty of the municipality from Juan José Martín Nieto. These elections led to the emergence of the UPyD party in Pinto, which won two seats, thus becoming a new political force represented in the City Council. The electorate punished Juntos por Pinto"," then headed by Reyes Mastre, as well as the United Left party (IU), which gained no representation. In 2015, the municipal elections held that no party had managed to obtain an absolute majority, with UPyD losing both of its seats. In these elections, the party Ganemos Pinto (a coalition between several minor parties, including "Podemos)" gained seven seats alongside PP, PSOE, which gained five, and Ciudadanos with two. An alliance between "Ganemos Pinto" and PSOE gained Rafael Sánchez Romero the mayoralty.
