• Morella Ximo Puig paid his brother 57 times without a contract when he was mayor

The Valencian PSOE has defended on Tuesday the legality of the payments made by the president of the Generalitat, Ximo Puig, to his brother, the businessman Francis Puig, when he was mayor of Morella. The party justifies that Comunicacions dels Ports was in practice the only possible supplier of the consistory as "the only means of communication in the region with the smallest population in the Valencian Community". In addition, it stresses that payments did not exceed 2010,2012 euros between 15 and 000.

The PSOE insists that "the brother of President Ximo Puig does not own any company" but "one more worker" of Comunicacions dels Ports, although he appears as CEO. "The type of contracts referred to in the information is completely legal. It is only necessary to deliver the invoice for payment. The invoice itself acts as a contract," adds the statement, which maintains that "there is nothing outside the law" in these 57 invoices without a contract.

"All procedures and invoices are validated by the legal and administrative apparatus of the City of Morella. Therefore, it is false to say that there was no type of contractual relationship that supports these invoices, "they point out from the PSOE, to point out that the secretary-auditor of the consistory "has validated at all times those invoices that, therefore, have all the administrative plácets ".

"At the time they recorded those invoices – 2010, 2011 and 2012 – contracts of less than 18,000 were allowed. The invoices referred to add up to 15,000 euros in three years and are reduced amounts, "according to the PSOE. "Therefore, there is no type of infraction or violation of legality with respect to the amounts of contracting nor is there any type of infraction or violation of legality with respect to the amounts of contracting," say these sources, who speak of "political persecution" to President Puig.

According to the Socialists, "the PP already tried to introduce the minor supplies of the City of Morella with Comunicacions dels Ports in the preliminary proceedings that are instructed in a court following the political complaint of the PP against this communication company and the request was categorically rejected.
