  • 9 May 2013 - Francisco González (PSOE) resigned after the opening of oral proceedings for alleged irregularities committed during his time as mayor of Cudillero.[10] In July 2014 he left the Asturian Socialist Federation after he was found guilty of those irregularities.[11][12] Elsa Peréz (PSOE) replaced him on 16 May 2013.[13]
  • 29 May 2014 - Ángel González (IU/IX) was expelled by the General Junta after his refusal to resign following a ruling that disqualified him from holding public office.[14][15] His expulsion was supported by PSOE, IU/IX and UPyD, while PP and Foro abstained.[15] Earlier that month United Left of Asturias expelled him from the party.[16] Luis Álvarez replaced him on 16 June 2014.[17]
