The salary cap of 15% more than the remuneration of the president of the Generalitat, that is, 92,000 euros (the president earns 80,173.92 euros), allowed the new vice president for reconstruction, Lieutenant General José Gan Pampols, to receive the same salary that he received when he retired in 2019, which was 91,657.15 euros per year as Chief of High Availability Land Headquarters (CGTAD). This means that the elimination of the salary cap approved by Carlos Mazón’s government means that Gan Pampols will earn more than when he retired.
Gan Pampols himself defended his remuneration, without going into figures. He did so upon leaving the Cortes this Thursday in statements to the Sixth: “I have an administrative career of 44 years, I have consolidated remuneration rights and in the general administration of the State the consolidated remuneration rights are always respected.”
This explanation made by the vice president is the same one that Mazón himself made to justify this elimination of the cap, when he stated that “neither salaries of the Consell nor of any high official are raised, only an official who comes to serve in a moment like the current one does not lose remuneration rights.”
But how long do these “retributive rights” last? If it is to maintain the 2019 salary, this did not require the elimination of the salary cap. If the salary of the current head of the High Availability Land Headquarters, Luis Sáez Rocandio, is taken into account, he earns 95,000 euros – according to the Ser channel – which would mean that the law would have been changed so that Gan Pampols would only earn 3,000. euros more per year than the limit that was marked.
On the other hand, if these “remunerative rights” are the update of income according to the CPI, the update indicated by the same INE (National Institute of Statistics) of the 91,657.15 euros per year that Gan Pampols earned when he retired in 2019, would now reach 108,000 euros, that is, practically 35% more than the president of the Generalitat currently.
