Vanesa Soler

Vanesa Soler is the partner of Juan Francisco Pérez Llorca, the President of the Generalitat Valenciana. She is currently at the center of a political controversy in Valencia due to her recent employment by the Diputación de Valencia. The Diputación, led by Vicente Mompó of the Partido Popular, hired Soler as a secretary of direction on a temporary commission of service basis, with an annual salary of approximately 52,000 euros. This occurred shortly after Pérez Llorca assumed his presidential role. Opposition parties, PSPV and Compromís, have criticized the hiring as an act of nepotism and a 'custom-made' job, questioning the justification of 'urgent necessity' cited by the Diputación. The controversy has led to heated debates in Les Corts, with the opposition demanding explanations and accusing Pérez Llorca of impropriety. The situation is significant because it raises concerns about ethical conduct and potential conflicts of interest within the Valencian government.
