Les Corts examines whether Mazón can be reimbursed for mileage as a deputy while retaining an official car as former president

The Valencian Parliament has requested a legal opinion to resolve the controversy over whether Carlos Mazón can accumulate the mileage allowance as a deputy while also receiving the transport benefits he is entitled to as former President of the Generalitat. This situation has prompted a formal complaint from the PSPV-PSOE, which demands the repayment of the amounts received, arguing that it is incompatible to receive both benefits, especially since Mazón has access to an official car and a driver. The case highlights a potential ethical and regulatory irregularity, as other deputies in similar circumstances, such as current councilors, do not receive these allowances because they already have access to an official vehicle. Socialists argue that receiving these funds lacks the exemplary conduct expected of public representatives, calling for the application of the same restrictions that apply to those holding active executive positions within the institution. This issue is relevant to open data because it underscores the critical importance of transparency in the management of public remuneration. Access to clear and comparable data enables citizens and political parties to detect inconsistencies in compliance with electoral law and political ethics. It also demonstrates how the availability of information on personal and declared benefits facilitates democratic scrutiny, ensuring that the use of public resources aligns with established regulations and is verifiable.
