The deputies who want to keep the mobile of the Congress after losing the seat must pay the House almost 1,500 euros, since these are iPhone terminals that have been recently renewed, as confirmed to Europa Press parliamentary sources.
When they arrived at Congress, all the deputies received a 'technology kit' consisting of an iPhone phone and an iPad tablet as tools to help them in their parliamentary work. When the Cortes are dissolved this Tuesday, when the decree calling the elections of July 23 was published, those of their lordships who have lost their seats will have the opportunity to stay in the terminals, after paying an amount to the chamber.
This option will also be offered to those who maintain the seat because they are still members of the Permanent Deputation but do not renew the record in the elections of July 23.
In its meeting on Thursday, the Bureau of the Permanent Deputation has revalidated the protocol of return of the terminals and has maintained the possibility that deputies can keep these devices for a price that depends on the years of use.
Thus, those who still have the old mobile, iPhone 8 that was provided at the beginning of the legislature will only have to pay 84.86 euros to keep them, but those who had already switched to the new iPhone 14 must pay 1,470.13 to keep their mobile.
In the case of iPad tablets, which had not been renewed this legislature, the price to pay to keep them has been set at 149.82 euros.
