At the regular plenary session of the Diputación, one of the points to be addressed in the control section is that of the mayor of La Nucía and his deputy, Bernabé Cano, for practical purposes, this would mean a gross remuneration of 4,400 euros per month. The politician from PP had previously regained his powers at the beginning of the Sports field, after the Provincial Court opened the case against him after it was publicly announced that he would skip the health protocols to get the Kovid vaccine. until he is facing charges of improper bribery and fraud.
Diputación president Carlos Mazón withdrew from Cano from sports competitions at the state institution in January last year, following pressure from government partner Cs. Mazón signed the decree giving Cano the reinstated powers, which were assumed by popular MP and Torrevieja mayor Eduardo Dolón after he withdrew from him. Therefore, Cano is entitled to a salary corresponding to a special dedication of 4,400 euros per month, as he is not incompatible with another.
Since Mazón withdrew the territory he ruled, the nuciero politician continued as a provincial deputy, but without dedication. What he has collected over this year and a half has been compensation for attendance at plenary sessions and the two information commissions he has been on, the Culture and Infrastructure commissions, in addition to the Tourist Board and the Marina Baja Water Consortium. Therefore, he earns about 1,500 Euros per month. Added to these fees are those from La Nucía City Council, one of the least transparent concierges, as evidenced by the failure of the first mayor to report his salary to the Treasury.
When asked about Cano’s special devotion, Toni Frances, the socialist spokesperson in the Provincial Assembly, said that “it was a bit hasty as the criminal case was opened temporarily, but the Prosecutor’s Office requested that this file be reviewed”. “Beyond the results, it didn’t fit the political example,” Frances adds.
