Moncada Councillor Vows to Cover €5,290 Roaming Bill as Council Accepts Invoice

The payment was accepted following a March order, pending an arbitration process over who is legally liable.

Overview

  • The €5,290.74 charge stems from mobile data used in Andorra between August 23 and 26, 2023, during councillor Feli Bondia’s vacation.
  • Municipal records show an attempt to reject the invoice through Spain’s FACE portal and the opening of an internal expediente before a March 2025 order compelled acceptance.
  • The line was activated in 2015, and the carrier argues older lines lack automatic roaming caps or bundles unless requested, while the council cites a contract with optional €120 or €240 roaming packages.
  • Bondia filed a registry entry on October 1 declaring she will personally pay if a final administrative decision places the obligation on the city, as a reclamation and arbitration process proceeds.
  • Levante-EMV reports roughly twenty data sessions billed at €7 to €149 each, the operator continues to press for payment, and the local PP condemns the prospect of public funds covering the charge.
