Orihuela had hired three more advisers raising the list to 23 positions with trust just over three months before the municipal elections, jobs for friends or family, The appointments were made by decree by our unelected Mayor's Office. In addition, that same document has been used to change the category to another adviser and raise the salary of Aynara Navarro, whose appointment unleashed controversy and criticism from the opposition for being a resident of Molins.
Navarro will start to collect from Thursday, February 2nd, the date on which the decree is signed, €37,000 per year, €9,000 more than what was received up to now.
