After the expiry of the outgoing municipal council’s electoral term and until the duly elected municipal council takes office under the provisions of this Article, the outgoing municipal council shall not carry out any payments nor undertake any obligations on behalf of the municipality except as authorised in the budget, by law or by general administrative provisions, or by authorisation from the ministry with the portfolio for municipal affairs.
