Vicente Mompó

Vicente Mompó is the president of the Diputación de Valencia, a provincial council in the Valencia region of Spain. He is a member of the Partido Popular (People's Party). Mompó is currently newsworthy due to controversy surrounding the hiring of Vanesa Soler, the partner of the president of the Generalitat Valenciana, Juan Francisco Pérez Llorca, by the Diputación de Valencia. The Diputación, under Mompó's leadership, approved a 'comisión de servicio' (secondment) for Soler to work as a secretary of direction with an annual salary of approximately 52,000 euros. This hiring, justified by the Diputación as an 'urgent necessity', has drawn criticism and demands for explanation from the opposition, raising questions about potential favoritism and the appropriateness of the process.
