The government delegate of the Valencian Community, Pilar Bernabé, criticized the opening of “the possibility of being able to increase salaries” to the members of the Consell and stressed that it is “a bad image for politics and, of course, for institutions. » and for the administration. “Really, I want to not believe it or I have to not believe it, because if that’s really the case, they’re going to have to explain it and I don’t know how we’re going to figure it out.”
This is what Bernabé declared after the Cecopi meeting, questioned by the media about the decree-law aimed at giving an “immediate response” to the provision of public services to the municipalities affected by the dana and which includes a modification of the salary cap “with in order to ensure that people who participate in reconstruction and recovery tasks “or see a reduction in the remuneration they received in their previous destinations, which precisely meet their accredited abilities and skills”.
Concretely, it specifies that the remuneration of all, including the personnel of the Armed Forces and State Security Forces, will be “those established in the budget law for senior civil servants of the Generalitat or those equivalent to the remuneration which corresponds to the the position they held in their original administration.
Bernabé assured that “he cannot understand”, any more than the Valencians who, with all that we suffer, with all the need we have for our cities to remove the sludge, for our “Our neighbors can finally see the light in their cities, that the government of Mazón transmits this message to the citizens, who seem to have the possibility of increasing their salaries.
“It is a bad image for politics and of course for the institutions and the administration. I don’t know the details and I really don’t want to believe it or I have to not believe it, because if it really does, they will have to explain it and I don’t know how we are going to be able to understand it. »
The delegate said he was convinced that “the majority of Valencians will not be able to understand that the Mazón Government is concerned about these things with everything we have on us.” “It’s inconceivable, let alone scandalous or amoral,” he recriminated.
“Magnificent civil servants”
When it was suggested that the measure was justified by the incorporation of talents, Bernabé affirmed that the Comunitat Valenciana “has magnificent civil servants, people who have worked since the first day, tirelessly, afternoon and night, to all the time, the civil servants of the Generalitat Valenciana which has been highly qualified and professional for decades, giving the best of itself.
“Perhaps,” he added, “what they need is to be well led and to be led in a rigorous and serious manner. Honestly, I have nothing more to appreciate, they will have to give explanations, there are many, more and more, that they have to give.
