The Law 27/2013, of December 27th, for the Rationalization and Sustainability of the Local Administration, takes into consideration, almost as its only measure, the merge of municipalities in order to change our municipal plant. This paper, after explaining the main features of our municipal plant (also from an historical point of view) and taking into account the achievements made by States from our nearby environment, is aimed to the study of the scarce legal provisions in the Law devoted to the merge of municipalities as well as the new instrument created to boost this policy. Not a single merge agreement has been signed one year after the Law entered into force, at the same time our municipal plant remains unalterable and without any prospect for the deep and urgent amendment that it requires.
