Since 2015, the Generalitat Valenciana has managed roughly 40 administrative and judicial files focused on reclaiming assets that were allegedly taken during previous administrations. These efforts are part of a broader anti-corruption drive aimed at restoring public trust and ensuring that public funds are used to serve residents rather than private interests.
Over the past seven years, these asset-recovery actions have yielded about 7.3 million euros returned to public coffers. The Generalitat noted in a recent briefing that the total could potentially double to 14 million euros when all currently open cases are fully accounted for. This figure underscores a sustained commitment to accountability and transparent governance.
Ana Domínguez, the Managing Director of Relations with Les Corts, highlighted that recovered sums are reintroduced into the public treasury to strengthen service delivery. Her wording emphasized that recovered assets are not merely numbers but resources that can fund essential public programs and improve the everyday lives of Valencian residents.
The recovered amounts trace back to convictions in high‑profile cases that have involved mismanagement of development cooperation funds, including fraud in projects aimed at regional development. Other matters relate to the stewardship of significant public works and the handling of wastewater infrastructure, all of which have occupied courts and administrators in recent years. These cases form a central part of the region’s ongoing anti‑corruption agenda.
In discussing the broader implications, the managing director reaffirmed the administration’s dedication to transparency, integrity, and accountability. Since the current presidency began, the government has emphasized the importance of a clean governance record and a clear separation between public duties and private gain. This stance mirrors a broader commitment to restoring public confidence in the region’s institutions.
Alongside these efforts, the administration cited independent benchmarks that evaluate government quality, service delivery, impartiality, and perceived corruption. A recognized European index measuring governance performance places the Valencian Community among the higher ranks for service excellence and governance quality. This external validation supports the administration’s objective of presenting a modern, accountable public sector to citizens and international observers alike.
Officials stated that the asset‑recovery program is part of a wider strategy to enhance democratic legitimacy and demonstrate seriousness about reform. By pursuing cases through courts and ensuring execution of sentences where appropriate, the administration aims to demonstrate a tangible commitment to ethical governance and the prudent use of public resources. The overarching message is that accountability is not an empty slogan but a practical framework that improves public service and financial stewardship for the Valencian Community and its residents.
