Overview
- Carlos Mazón has listed former chief of staff José Manuel Cuenca as the first adviser to his Oficina del Expresident, which he set up in Alicante.
- The Diari Oficial de la Generalitat Valenciana has not yet published the formal appointment, so the official category and remuneration remain unconfirmed.
- Based on the 2024 pay table, the president’s C1 adviser scale is about €57,592 a year, which other ex‑presidents’ advisers receive and which reporting suggests could apply to Cuenca.
- Cuenca was previously dismissed by Juanfran Pérez Llorca and has faced recent scrutiny, including a summons for a judicial face‑to‑face with former consellera Salomé Pradas and appearances before the congressional dana inquiry.
- Valencian law grants ex‑presidents a staffed office, vehicle, driver and security for life, and Mazón has not activated the separate Consell Jurídic Consultiu salary as he continues as a deputy earning about €61,000 with a PPCV allowance.
