Diputación de València

The Diputación de València, a provincial council in the Valencian region, is currently at the center of a political controversy. The PSPV (a socialist party) has requested a formal investigation into the hiring of the Generalitat president Juanfran Pérez Llorca's partner. Specifically, the investigation aims to determine if the hiring process adhered to principles of legality, equality, and impartiality. The president's partner's transfer to the Diputación de València, as a secretary of direction in the Centro de Asistencia a Municipios, and the associated salary increase, have drawn criticism from PSPV and Compromís. The PSPV has even called for President Llorca's resignation due to the controversy. The situation highlights tensions within the Valencian political landscape, particularly between the ruling PP and Vox coalition and the opposition parties. The Diputación's actions are significant because they raise questions about potential conflicts of interest and the proper use of public institutions.
