The mayor of Móstoles will not cancel the hiring of her sister: "I surround myself with trustworthy people"

• Controversy: The mayor of Móstoles hires her sister for 52,000 euros to bring social networks

Neither the accusations of "nepotism" from his own party , the PSOE, will rectify the mayor of Móstoles, Noelia Posse, who has hired his sister to bring the social networks of the City Council for 52,000 euros, has promoted his uncle, Héctor Posse, from administrative assistant in Culture to technical director of Sports and the salary has been raised by 16%, to 82,000 euros per year. All this, in the first months of mandate.

Posse already said last week at a press conference not to understand the criticisms, but this Wednesday he has gone further and assured that he will not revoke any of the decisions he has made: "I surround myself with the best possible people, qualified and absolute confidence, " said the mayor in the Being." Nobody has called me from the party or they will ask me to revoke any decision, "he added.

Regarding his salary increase, he has justified it by dedication to the position. "I work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and at two or three in the morning I am answering the neighbors in social networks," he explained.

The decisions of the mayor, especially the hiring of her sister, have been criticized by her own partners in the Government. The spokesman for Más Madrid-Ganar Móstoles and Councilor for Culture and Environmental Policies at the City Council, Gabriel Ortega, said that the appointment decree of Laura Posse should be canceled and withdrawn on August 29 with a salary of 52,000 euros per year . "I have a deep concern about the escalation of decisions that are being made in my opinion in a totally wrong way," he told Europa Press.

Actions also criticized by citizens for "nepotism." "The City of Móstoles cannot be a placement agency for friends and family of the PSOE of Móstoles. Stop dedazos", stressed the orange formation.

The PP of Móstoles, meanwhile, has demanded that the mayor clarify the rise of her uncle, until June a municipal official of the Culture Area, as the new administrative technical director of Sports of the City Council, for which she will obtain "a salary supplement of 1,607 euros per month. "

The appointments of the mayor of Móstoles have also caused discomfort in a part of the PSOE-M, which requires the secretary general, José Manuel Franco, to act against the "nepotism" of Posse. Socialist sources assure Efe that the matter was discussed at the meeting held by the Regional Executive last week, which was not attended by the Secretary of Municipal and Regional Policy, Miguel Arranz, while Franco did not rule.

According to the sources, the practices of the mayor of Móstoles are contrary to the Code of Ethics of the Socialists, so they demand to open a file for the Ethics and Guarantees Commission to act.

Pending the leadership of the PSOE-M position, the spokesman in the Assembly, the independent Angel Gabilondo, recalled that "the party has mechanisms to study these issues and procedures to act accordingly."

Gabilondo has been convinced that "the party will study the situation and apply the procedures that may be necessary," while expressing its respect for the mayor and "municipal autonomy."

For their part, sources close to Franco say that "the PSOE-M has implemented the mechanisms and procedures that our internal standards establish to clarify these situations" and that they are "the first interested in clarifying everything related to this issue" .
