Paragraph 103
 

However, it happens that legislation also provides for grounds for the mayors’ recall. Such grounds may be, for example:


- failure to uphold the interests of the local community;
- incompetence in the performance of duties; gross mismanagement;
- failure to perform duties prescribed by the law, neglect of duties (for example, not fulfilling the mayor’s obligations);
- failure to implement/violation of legal provisions related to citizen participation;
- unethical behaviour in the service (unprofessional and irresponsible performance of the job), infringement of moral and ethical norms;
- misuse of office and authority (in case of bribery and corruption), conviction for a felony; conviction for a drug-related misdemeanour or a misdemeanour involving a "hate crime".
