Squabble over who earned what in Teulada-Moraira

THE local government and the Partido Popular (PP) are at loggerheads over councillors’ salaries.
According to PP spokesman Raul Llobell, Teulada-Moraira’s mayor Rosa Vila was lying and had broken her promise to renounce her attendance fee for some municipal meetings.
In return, the three-party coalition at the town hall pointed out that the PP had lied when it controlled the local council.
“There were months when PP councillors charged for attending five meetings, not four,” an official statement claimed.
Vila also stated that it would be shown that she had not lied when the municipal accounts were published at the end of the year.
The town hall argued that although PP councillor Rosana Caselles declared that she had never charged for attending more than 12 meetings in any three-month period, the goalposts were Movec in 2016.
At a plenary meeting that September, PP councillors modified a previous agreement, approving a proposal that allowed them to charge for as many municipal meetings as they wished, up to 18 each quarter.
The statement also questioned PP claims that full-time councillors were paid a salary of €21,070 for maximum attendances. “As we can see, that claim is false, as some were earning an annual €22,269.”
