In terms of representation expenses, the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, charges 39,260 euros from the party, as confirmed by PP sources, which are added to the 70,000 euros he charges as a senator.
The PP thus reveals the amount of the salary that Feijóo receives as president of the party, which for a few weeks the PSOE demanded that the popular leader reveal. However, according to popular sources confirmed to La Vanguardia, Feijóo will not notify the Senate of this income, despite the one-week deadline given by the president of the Upper House, Ander Gil, to officially communicate it, because the popular consider that It is not an obligation to do so until he ceases to be a Senator, which will occur on August 17, when he will cease to be a Senator to be a Deputy.
Article 26 of the Regulations says that senators must make a declaration of assets and activities upon taking possession of their seat and another upon leaving the Senate or when there is a change in the “circumstances initially declared.” This article is interpreted in a different way by the PP, who considers that he should communicate what he has received when he ceases to be president, and the president of the Senate, who believes that there has been a change in his statement and that is why he must communicate it.
The refusal of the PP to communicate Feijóo’s salary before July 4, as Ander Gil demands, is due to the fact that it considers that the decision is due to an interest of the PSOE that is using this issue in its electoral campaign, and wonders why it set a period of one week and not 10 days or 20.
Feijóo declared 85,601.86 euros as work income, without going into more detail, when he agreed to the seat and after assuming the presidency of the PP. As a senator, he earns 70,121.50 euros a year, almost 16,000 euros less than what he earned as president of the Xunta.
