The opposition denounces a salary increase of 66% of the PP government team in Santa Pola

The Més Santa Pola coalition has denounced the new remuneration of the councilors of the Santa Pola City Council (Alicante), with a new salary table that increases the salary of the mayoress, Loreto Serrano (PP), by 73% and that of the councilors of government (PP) 66%.

Més Santa Pola has censured that the plenary session of the City Council approved the new remuneration of the councilors with 11 votes in favor of the PP, 8 against Més Santa Pola and the PSPV-PSOE and 2 abstentions from Vox, as indicated by the coalition it’s a statement.

The confluence has branded this wage increase as “obscene”, while criticizing that it has been done “unilaterally, passing the roller of the absolute majority”. “With this increase, the PP councilors will charge more than, for example, the government of the Elche City Council, a city of 235,000 inhabitants”, he has ugly.

Specifically, the plenary session, with the votes in favor of the PP, approved a salary of 62,930 euros for the mayoress with exclusive dedication and 39,239 with partial dedication. In the case of councilors with exclusive dedication with delegation, they will charge 46,564 euros; while those who do not have a delegation will receive 32,500. For their part, the councilors with part-time dedication and delegation will have 29,029 euros in salary, and those without delegation will charge 22,000.

The spokesman for Més Santa Pola, Esteve Ruiz, has considered that these salary increases are “typical of those who have come to the City Council not to work for Santa Pola, but to live like kings at the expense of the public treasury.” Likewise, he has asked himself “how are they going to explain this to the people on the street, taking into account the deplorable state of the municipal services and the municipality in general”.

On the other hand, the confluence has indicated that the mayoress, Loreto Serrano, “is running to be a provincial deputy” and has censured that this was not communicated during the electoral campaign, for which they consider it a “fraud against the citizens of Santa Pola”. (EP)
