More than a year after the left groups put the magnifying glass on the labor circumstances of Núria Riera, who lasses her position as a spokesman for the PP in the Consell de Mallorca with the head of service in the Balear It charges a total of 127,211 euros annually-, the autonomous executive has failed for the first time that such situations occur, without directly citing the fact that the high position compatibilizes both positions under the suspicion of absenteeism in its performance as an official, A situation that Eldiario.es reported exclusively last July.
After the recent publications about the abandonment of its functions as an official, the Government will open an internal investigation to verify whether Riera meets the requirements established by law at the time of combining several public activities. This was announced on Friday by the vice president and spokesman of the Government, Antoni Costa, who has pointed out that the Executive “will analyze this issue in terms equivalent to how he would do with any other official” and, from there, “he will take the pertinent conclusions ” In addition, he pointed out that, depending on the results of that analysis, the opening of other procedures is not ruled out.
However, the Minister of Economy, Finance and Innovation has been reaffirmed in the words that the head of the Presidency and Public Administrations expressed last Wednesday, Antònia being them, who, in the appearance he made in the parliamentary commission at the request of the opposition for the opposition for Give explanations about this matter -solitude that they studied six months ago -said that it “meets all the requirements to make the work you are doing” compatible. ” However, he did not clarify if he meets his schedule as head of service, a fact that they question from Més Per Mallorca and Psib-Psoe, who accuse her of signing in her position as an official and then abandoned and exercising as a popular spokesman in the Consell .
“I confirm that the compatibility is legal,” said Costa, despite the fact that the opposition does not question the compatibility of the popular spokeswoman -Law 53/1984, of December 26, of incompatibilities allows to hold several public positions, although with limitations -, but the fact that this regulation can be contravening with respect to the way of compatible with both activities, since as a official it has a 100% dedication and as a popular spokesman, of 75%, which would force it to overlap both activities, breaking Therefore the requitos that the regulations establish in time.
In this sense, the vice president has pointed out that “one thing is compatibility and another that, giving that compatibility, have not fulfilled all the terms of it”, a situation that, he added, “requires an internal analysis for Analyze the issue “since” it might not be fully respected compatibility. ”
Faced with the questions of the journalists, Costa said that “this type of news does not help the prestige in general of the public official.” “We would like this news not to occur, because [significaría que] These facts would not occur. They are not positive news. ”
As the accusations of absenteeism that are poured on it, Riera shielded Thursday that he has never received “complaints” during the ten years he has been compatible with his position as a official with other political activities. After accusing the opposition of promoting a “hunt” against her person, the Insular PP spokeswoman continued to justify her work circumstances: “I have been in partial dedication for ten years, and I have 30 that I am a career official in the regional administration. I have never had problems exercising my tasks of public representation, which is an inexcusable duty that we have the Ministry for the Mallorcans, and I have never had complaints in my work. ”
