Pere Aragonès Renounces Ex-President Allowance to Lead Family’s Golden Hotels

The decision reflects a legal ban on drawing the payment while holding a paid private role.

Overview

  • The former Catalan leader informed the Generalitat days ago, and the renunciation takes effect today as he joins the company.
  • He assumes control in a generational handover, replacing his father, who retires from day-to-day management but retains ownership.
  • Golden Hotels & Experiences runs eight properties on the Costa Daurada, the Maresme and the Costa Brava, with more than 2,000 rooms and roughly 800 employees.
  • He will keep an expresident office for representative events and will teach economic history at the University of Vic.
  • He gives up an allowance equal to 80% of a president’s salary that he could have received for up to four years, leaving no former Catalan president currently drawing the temporary assignment.
