Overview
- Carlos Mazón has named José Manuel Cuenca, his former chief of cabinet, as the first adviser to the state‑funded Office of the Ex‑President based in central Alicante.
- The Generalitat’s site lists the appointment, but the Diari Oficial has not published it yet, so the official pay category and terms remain undisclosed.
- According to the 2024 pay table, adviser roles for ex‑presidents are typically classified as C1, which pays about €57,592 annually in 14 installments.
- The ex‑president’s office is a statutory entitlement that provides two adviser posts plus a driver and vehicle, benefits often treated as lifelong unless the ex‑president dismisses staff.
- Cuenca has testified in the dana investigation and is scheduled for a judicial confrontation with former minister Salomé Pradas in January, while Mazón retains his seat as a deputy and a commission spokesperson stipend of €634 per month.
