The new socialist Mayor of Torrox, Francisco Muñoz, will receive the same basic salary as his predecessor, Toñi Claros, namely around €3,132 per month, with Councillors in the minority government receiving €2,427 per month. Basic salaries are normally augmented by various attendance allowances and expenses.
Mayor’s salary criticised
The main opposition party in Alhaurín de la Torre, the PSOE, has denounced the salary of the Mayor, Joaquín Villanova, as ‘outrageous’ for a municipality of 30,000 inhabitants.
