The Valencian Government camouflages a salary increase in a decree of measures for civil servants in relation to DANA. The plenary session of the Consell, the first of the Executive that took office this Tuesday, has approved a rule that eliminates the salary cap for councilors, regional secretaries and other Executive positions. To date, senior officials who are civil servants could maintain their Administration salary if it was not 15% higher than that of the president of the Generalitat.
The decree introduces an additional provision that indicates that the 15% limit does not affect “the people who make up the Consell and higher bodies of the departments.” The measure has been established for the new members of the Consell and is incorporated in a text “by which extraordinary measures are adopted for the management, organization and mobility of public employee personnel as a result of the serious floods of October 29, 2024 in the Valencian Community”. This is a decree approved in the extraordinary plenary session this Tuesday, which addresses issues related to the emergency, and regulates conditions for the mobilization of officials adapted to floods.
The additional provision means that people who join as regional councilor or secretary, coming from some public responsibility, can join while maintaining the salary they received in their previous position, Executive sources explain. General directors and undersecretaries will have this limitation, since the provision does not apply to positions that require them to be civil servants.
The Consell confirms that the measure applies to new members and justifies it as a way to “attract talent.” “We need to incorporate talent and capacity to address the reconstruction, with people who have acted in scenarios as large as the one we currently find in Valencia,” say sources from the regional Executive, who indicate that the salaries of senior Valencian officials are the highest. low.
The decree specifically mentions that “the remuneration, except for three-year periods, of all those persons included in the applicable scope of this article who meet the status of civil servants, including the personnel of the armed forces and the State security forces, They will be, at their option, those established in the Budget Law for senior officials of the Generalitat, or those equivalent to the remuneration corresponding to them in the job they hold in their administration of origin. Each position is not mentioned specifically, although among the new incorporations that fit this profile is Lieutenant General Francisco José Gan Pampols.
The PP was especially belligerent with the salaries of the Consell headed by Ximo Puig when they were in opposition, despite the fact that Mazón earned more than Puig when he headed the Alicante Provincial Council. Upon reaching the Generalitat, the first Consell de Mazón, in coalition with Vox, also camouflaged a salary increase in the accompanying law.
